Another scandal at the Miss Universe 2025 pageant.
The presented “Serbian national costume” has no connection whatsoever with Serbian tradition, nor is the contestant a legitimate representative of Serbia sent by any official agency from our country.
Amid numerous organizational failures at this year’s competition, it is unacceptable that someone performs under the name of Serbia and under our national flag in the cultural heritage segment wearing attire that is not part of our identity.
The showcased dress contains authentic Mongolian motifs, including symbols of “time,” “the clock,” and “transience,” which are characteristic of Tibetan and Mongolian tradition. These motifs — known as the Wheel of Time — appear on their ceremonial textiles and embroideries and represent an important element of their spiritual and ethnic symbolism.
We deeply respect other nations’ customs, traditions, and folk costumes, but we have never appropriated someone else’s culture, nor will we ever present it as our own.
The dress is undoubtedly aesthetically pleasing and well-crafted, but it cannot be presented as a Serbian national costume, nor as a part of our cultural heritage.
Jos jedan skandal na izboru Miss Universe 2025. Ovo nije Srpska nosnja niti je legitimna Srpska predstavnica , poslata od bilo koje agencije iz Srbije. Pored bezbroj propusta u organizaciji ovog takmicenja, nedopustivo je da se sa natpisom drzave Srbije , pod nasom zastavom takmici i predstavlja Srbiju u delu kulturne bastine i narodne nosnje, Srbija predstavlja u narodnoj nosnji sa autenticnim Mongolskim motivima. Na haljini su simboli "sata", "vremena" ili" prolaznosti" koji se nalaze u Tibetskoj i Mongolskoj tradiciji simbol kolo vremena. U njihovoj kulturi se na odredjenim ceremonijalnim tkaninama i vezovima koriste ovi motivi kao tocak vremena. To je najblizi direktan simbol vremena u etnickoj odeci. Mi jako postujemo tudje obicaje, tradiciju i nosnje, ali nikada niciju nosnju ,kulturu i obicaje nismo i necemo svojatati i predstavljati kao svoje. haljina je jako lepa, lepo uradjena ali ne moze nositi potpis Srpske narodne nosnje,kulture i tradicije.
