🦢 Царевна Лебедь
[ tsarevna lebed' ]
The Swan Princess
🔻Russian Margarita Golubeva will appear at the Miss Universe competition in the image of the Swan Princess.
🔻The 22-year-old resident of St. Petersburg won the Miss Russia title this year.
🔻Fashion designer Olga Molyarova said that the costume was created on the base on Russian fairy tales and embodies the traditional image of female beauty - “a beautiful young girl turns into a swan,” explained the model’s manager.
🔻It took several years to create this dress, with 300 meters of tulle, French lace, freshwater pearls, zirconium jewelry and crystal stones.
🔻Last year Anna Linnikova, who presented Russia at the Miss Universe, was wearing the National costume 'Корона Российской Империи' (Crown of the Russian Empire) made of red silk velvet, inspired by the collection of exhibits presented in the Hermitage.
