Evening Wear. Appropriate Formal Wear. Evening Gowns Short or Long. Hair styling, makeup and formal wear should fit well and complement
the athletes tones and colors. Shoes should be appropriate to formal wear. Movement should flow easily as they perform their stage walk.
Jewelry should be appropriate and compliment the athlete’s formal wear. Skin tone is very important, so make sure that skin is moisturised and
tan is well applied.
The bikini category has potentially been the most appealing category to women entering into the sport. The judging of bikini competitors is
based on a healthy, balanced and well-proportioned physique. As with other categories, points are awarded for symmetry and stage
presentation.
Walking Tip: The competitor walks confidently towards center stage, in addition to this, they will stop to perform a couple of different poses of their own choosing.
