Miss United States Noelia Voigt will compete in the Miss Universe 2023 National Costume Contest on November 16 in San Salvador, El Salvador.
At the national costume portion of the event on Nov. 16, Voigt wore a silver sequin bodysuit with a design that looked like exploding fireworks. He paired the bodysuit with silver sequin thigh boots that had real fireworks attached and a silver sequin headpiece. The look also included a cape in red, white and blue stripes with stars and replicas of America’s national monuments, including the Statue of Liberty, the Washington Monument, the Empire State Building, the White House and a Route 66 sign.
For her opening performance, Voigt modeled a purple sequin cocktail dress from sponsor Clarisse Designs. She completed her sparkling look with silver strappy sandals from Jojo Bragais, the competition’s shoe supplier.

This summer, the Miss Universe pageant launched a skincare brand designed for women of diverse backgrounds using botanicals from all seven continents.
The 2023 pageant brought some big changes to the event as the Miss Universe Organization eliminated its age limit of 28 for contestants. This was also a groundbreaking year as the event welcomed two transgender women, a plus-size model and mothers.
At the event, participants from 86 countries competed for the crown. John Legend performed at the ceremony and Olivia Culpo, Jeannie Mai and Maria Menounos served as hosts for the evening. The titleholder of the Miss Universe 2022 title is R’Bonney Gabriel from the USA, who took the stage one last time to congratulate her successor Palacios. The crown was created by Mouawad, the official jeweler of the Miss Universe Organization since 2019.
