Thai-Australian model Achille Scott-Kemis, at the 70th Miss Universe pageant in the Red Sea, will wear an unconventional Thai outfit based on an ancient Thai female fighter, with her hands tied with rope instead of boxing gloves.
The dress is called “woman of steel” or “nang kad” in Thai, which literally means a woman with her hands tied in rope.
Avant-garde designer, Jaturon Raipech, said that her costume design for Achilli is inspired by the Thai traditional dress worn by female fighters in the ancient martial art that predates Muay Thai.
