For the pre-pageant national costume show of 64th Miss Universe on December 16, Miss Universe Thailand Aniporn Chalermburanawong will pay homage to her country dressed as the iconic motorized rickshaw--also known as the tuk-tuk.

The design was chosen from 365 entries in a contest held by Miss Universe Thailand. The dress was first unveiled during a press conference in Bangkok last month.

"The tuk-tuk dress will flash lights like a real tuk-tuk," said Kaveerat Kunapat, a spokesperson for Miss Universe Thailand. "It will be one of a kind."

The outfit features an electric blue bustier and mini-skirt with thigh-high black tights — and a central headlight with handlebars just below the bosom. Attached to the costume is a backdrop of a tuk-tuk in Thailand's national colors — red, white and blue — with six national flags, a dozen more headlights and an overhead banner that says: "Thailand."

Reviews of the dress were mixed. Some hailed it as unique, while others, such as the British newspaper Mirror, among others, called it bizarre, outlandish and more like an outfit from the "Transformers."

But for sure, Chalermburanawong won't be the only beauty queen who will wear elaborate, campy and jaw-dropping dresses come the national costume show.

Filipino fans and pageant enthusiasts criticized Philippine bet Mary Jean Lastimosa's Panagbenga-inspired national costume (made by a Columbian designer and given by Binibining Pilipinas Inc.) during the 63rd Miss Universe pageant earlier this year with some comparing it to an elaborate cake. -
