Karachi\u2019s Erica Robin, 25, who was crowned Miss Universe Pakistan in September among the five finalists, to represent the country for the first time in the 71-year history of the beauty pageant, has been making waves and winning hearts with her cultural representation in El Salvador.<\/p>\n

The beauty queen was particularly lauded for her fresh yet modest spin on the traditional idea of a bikini or swimsuit for one of the prelims when she decided to slip in a stunning, pastel pink Kaftan\/Burkini by renowned designer Rubin Singer, to stay true to the culture and avoid the unnecessary skin show.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, for the national costume round, Robin opted for \u2018Pehchaan<\/em>\/Identity\u2019, celebrating the rich and diverse culture, history and lifestyles of the people of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cPakistan is home to multiple ethnicities based on region, religion, language, and culture. Few of the existing ethnicities include Baloch, Brahui, Sindhi, Punjabi, Muhajir, Saraiki, Memon, Kalashi, Balti, Wakhi, Afghani, Kashmiri, and Hindkowan. This costume is a vibrant celebration of Pakistan\u2019s diverse cultures, seamlessly weaving together its distinct beauty and the profound love and unity embedded in its people\u2019s hearts. The intricate patchwork blends the rural and urban elements, paying homage to the rich crafts and heritage of Pakistan. The handcrafted fan, a major part of Pakistan\u2019s tribal lifestyle, is a symbol of power, and elegance and an ode to its roots. Meanwhile, the grand silhouette serves as a powerful visual testament to Pakistan\u2019s remarkable growth and evolution over time. It embodies the nation\u2019s journey from its roots in tradition to its strides toward modernity since gaining independence,\u201d she said of her Khaadi-designed ensemble.<\/p>\n

While Robin continues to make a lasting mark for herself and Pakistan at the international pageant, fans eagerly await to witness what she has more in store to represent the country on the global stage, with the November 18 finale.<\/p>\n

For the unversed, Miss Universe 2023 will unfold at the Jos\u00e9 Adolfo Pineda Arena in San Salvador, El Salvador on November 18, 2023, where R\u2019Bonney Gabriel of the United States will pass on the coveted crown to her successor, to be named from the\u00a0 84 participating beauty queens.<\/p>\n
