For years, the Miss Universe pageant has observed the tradition of a national gift auction that requires contestants to bring a national gift along with them that would be auctioned for sale. The proceeds of the auction would then go to charity and though the tradition remains in place, this year, it has taken on a new format.fast approaching, all the events in the lead-up to the main event are in full swing.
The capes – which will be auctioned instead of national gifts – were worn during the Miss Universe swimsuit competition and were revealed earlier during the preliminary round.
“Throughout the centuries women have been made to feel unworthy based on any physical characteristics that might not have been desirable for the male gaze. With the South Africa cape, and also as part of a broader message of the Miss Universe platform, women are reclaiming the narrative around their bodies and what makes them beautiful,” commented Nokeri and Atkinson.
