Harnaaz draped herself in a shimmering beige saree from the shelves of designer Sawan Gandhi's clothing label for the occasion. The six yards features silver sequinned diamantes and a scalloped lace border.

The 22-year-old beauty queen draped the six yards in traditional style, letting the pallu fall from her shoulder. A sleeveless beige satin-silk blouse completed Harnaaz's outfit.

Harnaaz glammed up the traditional look with the Miss Universe crown, a sleek bracelet, silver jhumkis and matching high heels. A centre-parted open hairdo, smoky eye shadow, mauve lip shade, blushed cheeks, mascara on the lashes, glowing skin, and kohl-lined eyes completed the glam picks.

Meanwhile, the Miss Universe pageant recently announced that married women and mothers will be allowed to enter the competition from 2023. Earlier, mothers were excluded from the pageant and victors were required to avoid getting pregnant while serving as reigning Miss Universe.
