Miss SA reveals dresses ahead of bid for Miss Universe crown
Green, 24, from Paarl in the Western Cape, was crowned Miss South Africa 2018 in May this year.
At the time of winning the title, she was a sixth and final year medical student at the University of Cape Town with her sights set on specialising in paediatrics once she qualifies.
Green’s national costume, which she revealed at her farewell, was designed by Malikah Hajee and Lloyd Kandlin and their team at The Costume Department, while Galluzzi e Gini has designed a number of her outfits including the farewell gown.
Hajee explains that The Costume Department took inspiration for the show-stopping national costume from South Africa’s national bird, the blue crane: “More than 1000 bluish grey and black feathers have been hand placed on the costume and resemble under wing feathers.
The headpiece is encrusted with crystals depicting the beak. The custom feather print fabric is designed locally.
