Miss Universe Canada Scores Big Buzz Online With Outlandish Hockey Costume

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 22 Jan, 2015 12:33 PM

    MIAMI — Miss Universe Canada is hoping to take home the crown at the pageant, but she's already scored big buzz with her outlandish hockey-themed costume.

    Chanel Beckenlehner took to the stage in a preliminary Miss Universe competition sporting a corseted bustier emblazoned with a black and white Maple Leaf.

    The Caledon, Ont., native paired it with a skirt resembling goal-post netting.

    She also wore knee-high, lace-up boots reminiscent of skates, wings fashioned out of hockey sticks, and a replica of the Stanley Cup as a head piece.

    The 26-year-old capped off the towering ensemble with an electronic scoreboard and a goaltender stick.

    Images of Beckenlehner's costume blanketed Twitter on Thursday, with a mix of praise and pans for the outfit.
