The National Costume round of the 2009 Miss Universe contest saw Miss India wear a Ritu Kumar lehenga. While, we loved the black skirt of the outfit, hated the cutout sleeves.

Whether the outfit appealed to the judges, we won’t find out until the 23rd, but what say you?

Update: You are right ‘Nitu’, Simran also wore the same design last year and hated it then too! (see here )

Ritu Kumar’s design for Ms. World Simran Kaur Mundi won the Best National Costume award at Miss Universe 2008!

Now, I didn’t like the cutout choli at all but am so in love with the lehenga!!!
