Dressed in their best traditional garb, the Miss World contestants took to the streets of Hengqin, Zhuhai in China during the Chimelong Ocean Parade.

Considered a world-class parade, the event features floats that are with unique elements of ocean life at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom.

Our very own Miss World Fiji, Nanise Rainima, was dressed in traditional iTaukei attire, to top it off with the iri (fan). Her costume was designed by local renowned designer Hupfeld Hoerder.

Last night, the beauty from Nakelo, Tailevu, posted on her Facebook page: “Bula Maleka Viti! This is me at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom.

“We had a great day today and I cannot express how grateful I am to the Miss World Organisation for the most amazing experience!

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I am thankful to God for blessing me on this journey!

“I have made new friends and sisters from around the world! Please continue to vote for me using the Mobstar App and also keep voting for me on the Miss World website! Vinaka and have a blessed evening.”

Ms Rainima is part of 120 world beauty contestants competing for the prestigious global pageant.

The crowning is on November 18 in Sanya, China.
