ICYDK, the ladies aren’t the only ones battling out on pageant runways for a crown. The men also have their own, too, and one of them is Mister Global. Founded in 2014, Mister Global has been held in Thailand, where the pageant organizer holds its headquarters.
One of the most anticipated parts of the men’s beauty contest is the parade of national costumes, where the contestants dress up in outfits that are supposed to represent their home country while looking as good as possible. Among the 33 contestants this year, these are some of the stand-outs:
The wild
And we’re talking literally wild — because these costumes look like they came straight out of the wilderness.
Indonesia
Inspired by the critically endangered Sumatran tiger, this national costume has some really strong wild vibes.
South Africa
A few netizens thought the costume looked like the tooth fairy, but this is actually inspired by South Africa’s national flower, the king protea.
The models
They might not be showing off their abs, but their fierce pose and smoldering gaze would definitely capture your attention!
Czech Republic
Some netizens want to Czech him out, especially with that strong jawline he’s showing off.
Netizens say:
Malaysia
He might be holding the keris weirdly, but that look in his eyes earned him a lot of points from netizens.
The badass
Nigeria
Need we say more? He’s just slaying it in this vibrant costume inspired by the eagle, Nigeria’s national bird.
Ecuador
There’s a lot going on in this costume from the headdress to the cape to the beading, but everyone agrees that Ecuador understood the assignment.
The safe
These might be culturally accurate, but unfortunately, they might’ve fallen a little short in capturing the audience’s attention.
UK
The English did invent the suit… Netizens just think he looks like he’s going to work.
Cuba
Commenters agree he dressed like a tio, but he looks like a papi, as one netizen said.
Netizens say:
The fab
Thailand
It’s so impressive how the costume has woven man and dragon together and how he stands so gracefully!
Spain
He definitely looks good as a Spanish king. But everyone in the comment section is getting flashbacks to being colonized — and some of them didn’t even get colonized. That’s just how strong of an impression this photo leaves on its viewers.
Netizens say:
The thirst trap
Japan
The comment section is full of thirsty netizens asking him to turn around, but we’re pretty sure he’s wearing a fundoshi (men’s undergarment) under that happi (a short jacket with sleeves).
Netizens say:
Macau
The costume is a nod to one of the biggest events in Macau, the Macau Grand Prix. With a little thirstiness on the side (all sides).
Netizens say:
The abs
Brazil
It might look like something a pirate would wear, but this costume is inspired by something else. It’s the Cangaceiro, a social bandit or freedom fighter that became a phenomenon in Northeast Brazil, where life was harder and wilder than the rest of the country.
Philippines
Here’s our very own representative, Mico Angelo Teng, serving a look inspired by pre-colonial Philippines.
The best
At least according to the pageant organizers. The top 5 national costumes of Mister Global are Indonesia, Nigeria, Ecuador, Sri Lanka, and USA. Do you agree with their picks?
