As Jutarnji List reports, in addition to the national costume, Vuica designed other cocktail and evening dresses that our missus wears. She also discovered the inspiration for the costume that Mirna proudly wore but also described in more detail what it looks like.

“I am also looking forward to this year’s cooperation with the management of Miss Universe Croatia, Marija, Vladimir Kraljević, and of course our beautiful Mirna. Mirna will take to America as much as she needs a dress for various events, cocktails, and of course a national dress and the main evening dress that is real Hollywood, covered with crystals, just for Miss Universe. The national dress has its own story: when we look at the surface, Croatia is a small country but it is rich and luxurious when we look at its cities, villages, nature, and history. The dress is a small, simple crinoline made of postcards covered with mirrors, but it is actually rich in depicting our beautiful cities to which we invite people to come, to visit Croatia. The dress is surrounded by mirrors, and my folk costumes decorated with mirrors were my inspiration. Throughout history, some of our ancestors held mirrors to protect them from spells, or on the other hand, women were burned for allegedly returning with mirrors. Well, now on behalf of those women who were burned, we are giving away a dress made of mirrors, which attracts the sun’s rays and invites all people to come to our luxurious Croatia”, said Vuica.
This year, as many as 75 beauties will be fighting to win this year’s Miss Universe pageant. One of them is, of course, our beautiful Mirna Naiia Marić. The girls are fully preparing for the finals to be held this Sunday in Florida, USA. Our Mirna eagerly awaits the finals and enjoys the many activities that this competition provides.

“We don’t have free time, we have been at fittings from the early morning, choreography rehearsals take a long time, and we also have a dance rehearsal. I am very happy because Pitbull is with us on stage” Mirna said excitedly.
