Harnaaz Sandhu, who was crowned Miss Universe 2021, has always maintained the high standards of fashion by choosing a variety of stunning outfits. She once again became the talk of the town with her final performance as the defending pageant champion on the Miss Universe 2022 stage in New Orleans, Louisiana. Sandhu made sure to turn heads as she handed over the crown to R’Bonnie Gabriel.
Harnaaz Sandhu, 22, walked the runway of the pageant. But what caught everyone’s attention were the pictures of previous Indian Miss Universe winners Sushmita Sen and Lara Dutta printed on the back of her gown.
Hernaz was seen wearing a black ball gown that featured a plunging neckline, a cut-out back, a huge bow in the back, and a voluminous floor-sweeping skirt. The images were placed on the skirt with elaborate detailing. Her gown was designed by Saisha Shinde who also designed her winning gown last year.
Harnaaz Sandhu shared her pictures on Instagram in the gown on stage. She wrote, “It is my greatest honor and gratitude to represent my incredible country at Miss Universe.
