16 Traditional Costumes From Miss Mexico 2020 That Left Us Awestruck

Unlike most beauty pageants, where outfit choices are often narrowed down to evening gowns, Miss Mexico is nothing short of a wonder. Contestants rock it in elaborate dresses, makeup, and headwear that draw inspiration from traditional Mexican clothing, history, and culture. Some costumes reference Day of the Dead while others feature ragdolls or “Marías” and even pay tribute to ancient Incan and Mayan ancestry.

We at Bright Side were in awe of this year’s participants and wanted to share the most stunning outfits with you.
