During the Miss Universe 2012 finale held on December 19 in Las Vegas, 22-year-old Miss China Xu Jidan, from Jilin Province, may not have taken home the crown for most beautiful woman on the planet, but she did take home the pageant’s award for Best National Costume. Designer of the piece, inspired by blue and white porcelain, Guo Pei managed to channel China’s traditional culture through her creation. Popular Chinese American TV host, producer and entrepreneur Yue-Sai Kan, nicknamed by Time magazine “Queen of the Middle Kingdom,” later said, "I think it’s the most beautiful costume, because it really represents our culture. People always ask me what do you tell the girl who’s going to compete for China. This is an international competition. She represents China."
