Miss Universe Belize introduces official Miss Belize national costume

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Today, the Miss Universe Belize debuted the official Miss Belize national costume on their Facebook page.

The Miss Universe Belize organization says that the national costume is inspired by the first and only Jaguar Preserve in the world; which is nestled in the luscious rainforest of the Cockscomb Basin in Belize.

The costume, modeled by Miss Universe Belize 2022, Ashley Lightburn depicts the jaguar in its natural habitat.

“Ashley, like the Jaguar, is stealth and graceful in her movement. Like the Jaguar that prowls under the moonlight and protects itself and its young, Ashley’s light burns for the advocacy that is her passion; Women in STEM with a concentration on Math. Like the Jaguar that is calculating in its movements, Ashley is the calculating force breaking through the darkness to bring young Belizean women into the light of Women in STEM,” Miss Universe Belize noted.

“Ashley is clothed from head to toe in a beaded jaguar print leotard, thigh high boots and accentuated by a tropical flora back piece and a lighted moon, with the Jaguar’s head prominently displayed on her body. Ashley’s height and sleek body perfectly portrays the agility of the Jaguar in its natural habitat. Like the Jaguar, Ashley’s onyx eyes penetrate through the darkness to bring light to the young women she mentors,” the statement added.

The costume’s design and concept was done by Alejandro Castaneda and Emir Xiu from Innovations by Jandroz.

The creative director is former Miss Universe Belize, Jen Fraser.

The video was produced by The National Channel at The Lodge at Chaa Creek.
