Miss Nicaragua Sheynnis Palacio, the winner of Miss Universe 2023, graced the stage tonight to pass along her crown to the next winner. Although they were hard to see, Palacio wore metallic silver platform heels, likely in a sandal style.
The pageant winner wore a light blue and silver halter-neck gown featuring crystalized adornments and voluminous sleeves shaped like rosettes. The gown was floor-length and slightly eclipsed her footwear. The star also wore a vibrant red gown in a similarly head-turning fashion created by Nidal Nouaihed.
Many contestants graced the stage in rhinestoned silver ensembles in a variety of styles accompanied by matching metallic silver footwear. Many, if not all contestants wore silver knee-high boots with stiletto heels and pointed toes.
