Bob, absolutely nobody can possibly believe that these outfits are in any way, shape or form 'traditional' in the sense you use it. But careful now, whose tradition? Aztec, Maya, Yaqui, Purepecha or Spanish, city-dwelling or campesino, highland or coast, present or historic, rich or poor? There are thousands of different variations in a country as varied as Mexico. Besides, it is from a silly beauty competition! *hands in air* @Ojberretta Berretta, sí, es así, tienes razón.

Let me quote "it is still my opinion not to see my culture twisted like this." Are you the same Bob Belcher who asked "Also, where's the representation of the Myan, Inca, Aztec and other Native American cultures of the country? These people, though small in numbers, still exist." Please show us some examples of the traditional clothing of the Mexican Incas! Oh, the irony.

I completely agree with you Bob. These are definitely costumes but only a small handful of them looked remotely based off traditional clothing. They are definitely fantasy costumes based off what appears to be many things Mexico-related.

I agree. So far from traditional. Why not just say: personal vision or modern take on ancient styles? Also, some of the young women are totally gorgeous but lacking in ability to pose properly. It's very obvious who are really into embodying the spirit of their costumes and who are not. Very interesting overall.

Bob Belcher beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and obviously you enjoy a nice Victorian type eye. You have claimed in several comments that this is your culture but you’d have me believe that you think the women of the various cultures that came together to make Mexico never were scantily clad, sometimes more for temperature difficulties than anything? I’m not going to say that these costumes, like 95% of our world, aren’t made to be sexy, because sex sells. And regardless of anything else, the Miss Mexico contest needs sponsors to continue, just like any other business on earth. I don’t know if they do it for Miss Mexico, but Miss America used to have a Swimsuit portion to the contest. Try covering your bits up in a bikini!! I think every one of the young women showcased in this post is beautiful as are their costumes. Some are amazingly intricate, while others are a bit more simplistic but no less of a statement. You should be proud that these women were competing to represent Mex
