Miss Universe Hungary cloth scandal: this is what the designer said
Change language:
The two dresses worth EUR 1500 did not make it to the ceremony on time, so Miss Universe Hungary stepped on stage in a Zara dress she ordered online.
The Miss Universe 2021 ceremony was held in Eilat, southern Israel, where the dress designer could not arrive on time due to organisational difficulties and epidemiological regulations. The two dresses worth EUR 1500 also missed the ceremony. The designer was unhappy to hear that many people started criticizing him. He feels, at least they could have asked him for the reason why the clothes were missing.
The designer claims he tried his best
“I was very sad when I had heard on the radio that basically I was the one to blame. It hurts me because we certainly did our best. We put our hearts and souls into this project, and it is depressing to see how it ended. No one from the media called me to ask what the exact situation was. The show happened on the evening of the 10th. Unfortunately, I got my permission to enter the country at one o’clock on the same afternoon. It is three and a half hours by plane to Tel Aviv and about five hours by car to Eilat, so it would have been physically impossible for me to get there with the clothes on time,” – explained the designer Alexander Richárd to Blikk.
