Australia's Miss Universe contestant Laura Dundovic will be more glamorous than previous Aussie entrants at this year's pageant. They've dressed like lifesavers and worn outback outfits or Crocodile Dundee-style hats. But Australia's latest Miss Universe contestant, Laura Dundovic, will this year wear a more glamorous version of what passes for national costume. True, she'll be wearing a wooden boomerang around her neck at next month's pageant in Vietnam. But Dundovic's outfit, unveiled today, is a flowing gown said to be inspired by Australia's sun, surf and desert. With her family and boyfriend watching on, Dundovic, 21, paraded the flowing white, aqua and brown dress at a Sydney hotel and later described it as "very comfy" and "very flattering". "Most of them are very corsetty, I've got a lot of freedom in this one," she said. Designed by Jayson Brunsdon, the gown is a much safer option than offerings from the last couple of years. |
