The Miss Universe competition brought out a lot of creative looks this year, most notably Canada's own hockey costume. As though straight out of Barney Stinson's maniacal mind, the hockey costume is a strange combination of a Victorian ballgown and sports uniform. A fan of hockey sticks are attached to a corset bodice while the contestant's white wig is topped with a Stanley Cup crown.
Topped with a digital scoreboard, the Miss Universe Canada hockey costume was worn by Chanel Beckenlehner. Although greeted with both horror and praise, it is hard to knock a woman who was brave enough to strut down the stage in front of a live audience and millions of television viewers.
