Thailand's contestant in the upcoming Miss Universe competition revealed on Thursday (26 NOV.) what she'll be wearing on the big day; a tuk-tuk. <br /> <br />The outfit is modeled on a slimmed down version of the country's iconic three-wheeler taxi, complete with flashing headlights and handlebars. <br /> <br />Designer Hirankrit Pattaraboriboonkul said he chose the tuk-tuk as inspiration because it will make an impact on the stage. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />She'll wear it in the national costume round of the competition, a round that often showcases creative rather than traditional designs. <br /> <br />It is made of lightweight plastic that was heated up and then molded around a modified tuk-tuk to create the distinctive shape. <br /> <br />The Miss Universe competition will take place on 20 December in Las Vegas.
