Thailand's contestant in the upcoming Miss Universe competition revealed on Thursday what she'll be wearing on stage on the big day; a tuk-tuk.
The outfit is modelled on a slimmed down version of the country's iconic three-wheeler taxi, complete with flashing headlights and handlebars.
Designer Hirankrit Pattaraboriboonkul said he chose the tuk-tuk as inspiration because it will make an impact on the stage.The dress weighs around 7 kilos (15 lbs) and is attached at 8 points to ensure contestant Aniporn Chalermburanawong isn't embarrassed by a wardrobe malfunction.
She'll wear it in the national costume round of the competition, a round that often showcases creative rather than traditional designs.
It is made of lightweight plastic that was heated up and then moulded around a modified tuk-tuk to create the distinctive shape.
The Miss Universe competition will take place on 20 December in Las Vegas.
