Nicaragua's Sheynnis Palacios to wear 'El Zanate' national costume for Miss Universe 2023


Miss Nicaragua 2023 (Miss Universe Nicaragua 2023) Sheynnis Palacios shared her national costume for the upcoming 72nd Miss Universe pageant.

Designed by Jorge Salazar Caliz, Sheynnis' national costume was inspired by her likeness to the "El Zanate" (Nicaraguan grackle).

The Nicaraguan grackle is a species of passerine bird in the family Icteridae endemic to Central America. This species lives only around the lakes of Nicaragua and in northern Costa Rica.

In a post on social media, Miss Nicaragua shared in Spanish: "Opening my wings to the wind I am the elegant and beautiful grackle of jet black colors, with iridescent tones and beautiful song."

The dark tones of the beautiful costume represent adversity and the iridescent sparkles mean there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

"I am happy, boisterous, spicy like Nica, optimistic, and ready for a new day, brightening the parks and fields of my beautiful Nicaragua and all of Latin America."

The Miss Universe 2023 final will be held this November 18 in El Salvador.
