The task ahead is not easy.

Together with her, beauties from 86 countries fought for this right. Each of the participants demonstrated an evening dress, made a fashion show in a swimsuit and presented a national costume. “Firebird” and “Crown of the Russian Empire”: Russian Anna Linnikova received the right to speak in the final of “Miss Universe 2023” />

Anna performed in a fuchsia-colored leotard, throwing a cape with a shining Firebird over her shoulders.

Then she charmed everyone with a burgundy dress from St. Petersburg designer Olga Malyarova. The outfit with the symbolic name “Crown of the Russian Empire” was decorated with pearls and Swarovski stones.
