Scherri-Lee Biggs Biggs has been told her satin evening gown is offensively "see-through" and her bikini way too sexy. Biggs has been ordered to make her bikini bottoms larger to ensure it holds everything in place when strutting the catwalk.
Biggs is not the only contestant feeling the heat - organisers have warned Miss Colombia, "Don't forget to wear panties during officials presentations.”
Biggs is all set for a life-changing experience when she represents Australia at the Miss Universe 2011 pageant in Brazil next month. Despite controversy about the national costume - described as a canary at Mardi Gras - Biggs remains upbeat about her chances and is hoping to follow in the footsteps of 2004 winner Jennifer Hawkins.

Australia has an identity crisis, fashion experts declared after the unveiling of the Miss Australia national costume. Koey Designer designed the ensemble. Koey Director, Ms. Silverthorne said the costume was inspired by Australia's breathtaking landscapes. "It represents the whole country from coast to the centre, it is a literal translation of Australia's spectacular colours," she said. When asked how she thought the outfit would be received, she said people had to remember it was a costume: "It's about having fun."
Biggs said she loved it, despite not being able to sit down for fear of "impaling" herself with the vivid gold belt buckle - said to represent our booming mining industry.
Many onlookers felt a cultural cringe and flashbacks to Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Fashion commentator Melissa Hoyer said a national costume was the hardest gig for a designer. "It is always hard to identify what Australia is in a costume... but this is not saying Australia, she could be going to a Brazilian festival, the Moulin Rouge or Spain for a quick flamenco," she said.
Scherri-Lee Biggs representara a Australia en el concurso de Miss Universo 2011 en Brasil el próximo mes. A pesar de la controversia sobre su traje nacional - descrito como un canario en el Mardi Gras - Biggs esta optimista sobre sus posibilidades y espera seguir los pasos de su compatriota Jennifer Hawkins que gano la corona en el 2004.
Australia tiene una crisis de identidad, los expertos en moda declararon después de la presentación del traje tipico de Miss Australia. El conjunto fue diseñado por el la compania Koey. La directora de Koey, Silverthorne, dijo que el traje fue inspirado en los paisajes de Australia. "Representa todo el país de la costa hasta el centro, es una traducción literal de colores espectaculares de Australia", dijo. Cuando se le preguntó cómo pensaba que sería recibido, ella dijo que la gente tenía que recordar que era un disfraz: "Se trata de divertirse".
Biggs dijo que amaba el vestido, a pesar de no ser capaz de sentarse por temor a "empalarse" a sí misma con la hebilla del cinturón de oro – que dijo “representa a nuestra industria minera en auge.”
Muchos curiosos sintieron una crisis cultural y la similitud con “Priscilla, reina del desierto.” La comentarista de modas, Melissa Hoyer, dijo que crear un traje nacional australiano es lo más difícil para un diseñador. "Siempre es difícil identificar lo que es Australia en un vestido tipico... pero ese traje no dice “Australia,” mas bien parece que fue hecho para ir a una fiesta brasileña, al Moulin Rouge o a España para un flamenco rápido."
