Valeriya Lisovska, Ukraine's representative at the international "Miss World" competition, who won the title of "Miss Ukraine 2025," has revealed a new stage look created specifically for the world final. Following the symbolic national costume with snow-white wings that has already captured the audience's attention, the Ukrainian model tried on an evening gown titled "Сяйво Незламності" — "Radiance of Indomitability." This was reported by WAVE RBC.UA, citing the official "Miss Ukraine" Instagram page.
Details of the Evening Outfit
The new look is built around an elegant corset, lavishly embroidered with crystals, which flows into a long skirt with a high slit. The composition is completed by a majestic golden cape, lending the silhouette drama and solemnity. According to the photograph published in official sources, the outfit is rendered in a warm gold-beige palette: the cape's semi-transparent fabrics are sprinkled with tiny sparkling inclusions, while the corset portion is abundantly decorated with large crystals that shimmer in the light. The overall effect is one of restrained luxury, accentuating the figure's strengths and creating the feel of a ceremonial entrance.
Concept and Symbolism
The creators of the look explained that its concept is built around the inner strength, dignity, and resilience of women. "Сяйво Незламності" is a symbol of inner light, dignity, and the indomitable spirit of Ukraine. "The look in which our representative will proudly present to the world the beauty, strength, and grandeur of the Ukrainian woman," reads the official post. Thus, the outfit goes beyond a mere aesthetic task and carries a clear message about resilience — the ability to preserve inner dignity in the face of external trials.
Context: the National Costume with Wings
It is worth recalling that Valeriya Lisovska had previously presented a national costume created by Lady Million Studio. Its central element was a pair of large snow-white wings, complementing a light corset decorated with shining crystals and soft light-blue accents. As intended by the designers, every detail of the outfit carries special symbolic meaning: the white wings embody a light that cannot be extinguished and remind us that even after the darkest night, dawn is sure to come. The crystal-embellished corset became a symbol of the inner strength and resilience of the Ukrainian woman, and its radiance — of the light she continues to carry despite the trials. The soft light-blue details symbolize the Ukrainians' dream of a clean and peaceful sky over the country.
The Overall Idea Behind the Two Looks
The two stage looks — the national costume with wings and the evening gown "Сяйво Незламності" — are united by a common idea: to use the costume not only to showcase the beauty of Ukraine's representative but also to embed in it a message of Ukraine's strength and invincibility. In a context where international beauty pageants are becoming a platform not just for displaying appearance but also for cultural and political expression, such careful development of symbolism takes on particular significance. Valeriya Lisovska, a student from Odesa who won the national selection "Miss Ukraine 2025," thereby continues the tradition in which Ukrainian representatives at world competitions use stage outfits as a tool of soft power and national narrative.
