Miss Bahrain, Evelyn Abdullah Khalifa, broke with customs and appeared during the swimsuit round in the Miss Universe contest in a fuchsia burkini.
What was remarkable regarding her dress was her burkini outfit with a robe that read: “Arab women must be present… Muslim women can participate in the Miss Universe contest.”
I grew up in the second largest city, Riva. In most of the photos that were published of her, she appeared with her brother Nader, and in her press interviews, she mentions her parents and her grandmother, which confirms the importance she attaches to the family. She recently works with an association that raises funds to help newborns with upper lip deformities. Fundraising for anorexia sufferers.
