This costume, titled 'Los Roques, Where Corals Become Crowns,' is a beautiful tribute to the Los Roques archipelago, one of Venezuela's greatest marine treasures, highlighting its incredible natural wealth and biodiversity.
Among the most striking elements are the three-dimensional corals that seem to come to life, a giant iridescent mother-of-pearl shell on the back, and nets that transform into a skirt, symbolizing the transformation of wounds into beauty. Moving turtles represent eternal life.
The costume's motto encapsulates its essence: 'May every coral be eternal, may every turtle be reborn, and may the seas of Venezuela forever crown life.'
Royer Pérez, a key figure in Panamanian Carnival and a winner with creations like 'Sovereignty' at Miss Panama 2024, reaffirms his international prestige by taking Panamanian talent to new heights.
Royer Pérez designed and crafted every detail of this piece in Panama and personally traveled to Thailand to make final adjustments, prepare the candidate, and ensure her runway presentation was impeccable.
The Panamanian contribution is completed by the official photography of Maikol Gutiérrez and the official video produced by Jorge Serrano, both distinguished talents from Panama.
The concept transforms Stephany Abasali into a marine deity, the guardian of the reefs, the turquoise waters, and the endangered turtle sanctuaries of the Venezuelan Caribbean.
Cascades of glass beads simulate drops of water suspended on the arms, while a halo of pearl rods evokes a crystal sea urchin, symbolizing fragility, defense, and strength.
Every detail of the costume carries an ecological message: the abundance and vulnerability of Venezuela's seas, the natural grandeur of the country, and the urgent need to protect its ecosystems.
The talented Panamanian designer Royer Pérez created the national costume for Miss Universe Venezuela 2025 for candidate Stephany Abasali, who dazzled on the runway on November 19 in Thailand during the competition's official event.
