Miss Earth 2016: National Costume, Miss Photogenic and other sub-contest winners announced

The Miss Earth 2016 contestants, who are gearing up for the finale, sizzled on the stage in their colourful traditional national costumes. The 84 contestants showcased their national costume on Monday at the Century Park Manila in the Philippines.

Miss India Earth Rashi Yadav sizzled on the ramp in an environment-friendly costume. "When colours of India is mixed with an attempt to make an environment-friendly Costume, you term it as 'Fashion for Cause'," she posted on Facebook. Her costume was designed by Payal Jaggi.
