During the costume portion of this year's Miss Universe pageant, Miss Ukraine aimed to make a statement. 

Standing out from the typical feathered and sequined bodysuits and headdresses, Viktoriia Apanasenko wielded a sword and dressed in a handmade outfit inspired by the archangel Michael, the guardian of soldiers and the patron of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. 

"Michael fights with evil and he wins." Apanasenko told Insider.

With her costume, Apanasenko wanted to bring the world's attention to the war in Ukraine while representing her country. "I wanted to translate my personality in this costume. I want to translate the strong power that is inside people."
