On the evening of January 11, local time, the 71st Miss Universe Costume Display Contest was held in New Orleans, USA, and when the beauty of all countries was light and beautiful, Miss America Gabriel (R'bonney Gabriel) chose to "carry the weight forward". She took the stage carrying "moon" and "stars" on her back, saying it would commemorate the 1969 landing of American astronauts on the moon and inspire women to dream big.
Watching Gabriel bow his knees and walk on the platform because of his heavy clothing, foreign netizens ridiculed: This perfectly shows the United States, "hegemony is getting heavier and heavier." Some American netizens joked that their contestants should dress up as cash machines, "so that Miss Ukraine can run to get the money."

The Miss Universe contest attracted beautiful women from 84 countries and regions, and the grand finals will be held in New Orleans on January 14, local time. On January 11, the most topical costume exhibition competition from various countries kicked off first.
That night, the 28-year-old Miss Filipino-American Gabriel's appearance shocked netizens: she was seen struggling to carry a model of the moon on stage, her back was decorated with stars, her feet were silver over-the-knee boots, holding an American flag, and wearing a huge crown.
Gabriel, dressed in the full outfit, hunched his back, bent his knees, took heavy steps, and had difficulty turning, and his elegant posture in other looks suddenly disappeared.
Despite the hard walk, Gabriel thought the outfit meant a lot to her. SHE POSTED ON SOCIAL PLATFORMS THAT THE THEME OF THE LOOK WAS CALLED "WOMAN ON THE MOON."
On July 20, 1969, American astronauts became the first human to set foot on the moon, "achieving one of the greatest achievements in human history," she said, and today more and more women are participating in the U.S.-led and Japanese-led lunar exploration "Artemis Program."
Because NASA's Johnson Space Center is located in Houston, Gabriel calls himself proud of his hometown of Houston, "the city dedicated to sending the first woman to the moon."
The Miss America added that the outfit was chosen to inspire women to achieve big dreams, including flying to the moon.
However, the audience in front of the screen felt not the power of women's rise in the aerospace industry, but the weight of this look.
"Poor Miss America, she can't even walk."
Some people say that this set of looks aptly depicts the current situation of the United States, "hegemonic and hegemonic."
The evaluation resonated with many foreign netizens.
"Now I know what hegemony means."
"I guess she's claiming that the moon is the territory of the United States."
American netizens could not refute this, "We are collapsing under the weight of a huge corrupt empire."
There are also American netizens who laugh at themselves: "If she really wants to represent our country, she should dress up as an ATM, so that Miss Ukraine can run to get the money." ”
In addition, the appearance of this Miss Universe, the beauty of Russia and Ukraine has attracted the attention of Western media.
According to the US "Business Insider" website, Miss Ukraine said that her appearance was a "warrior" based on an angel to reflect her motherland's "fight for the future, for freedom and independence."
Miss Russia chose a sumptuous red velvet dress.
