Canadians love their hockey, so Miss Canada searched for a way to show off that love at the Miss Universe pageant. She found a way to do it, putting together a dress that mixed together various elements of the sport in a bizarre mix.
Chanel Beckenlehner made a national costume that featured a white gown made to look like a goal with hockey pucks attached to it. She also wore padding on her shoulders and elbows and carried a goalie stick. She then had 10 (!) hockey sticks attached to her back and a giant scoreboard on top.
To make the costume complete, the brunette wore a white wig topped with a mini Stanley Cup. Now, that’s dedication. Clearly, the costume would have been incomplete without it.
Miss Canada is competing for the National Costume Fan Vote. Her competition includes Miss Argentina, Miss Germany, Miss India and Miss Indonesia.
The 63rd annual Miss Universe pageant airs on NBC Sunday from Miami.
