1. 13 contestants in Miss Malaysia Kebaya Perak 2016

Sashaying down the runway in a shimmery white and black mandarin-collared kebaya top paired with an elegant floral black and red batik sarong, Nurul Ain won the hearts of judges to walk away with the title of Miss Malaysia Kebaya Perak 2016.

As the winner, Nurul Ain will represent Perak in the grand finals of Miss Malaysia Kebaya 2016, to be held on 12th November, 2016, at Malaysia Tourism Centre (MaTiC). She will be competing against fifteen ladies for the title.

5. L-R: Chin Jie Yi, Nurul Ain, Nicole Fe Lynne & Rose Hanafiah

In this state selection, the participants first came on stage in white t-shirt and jeans, followed by a parade in kebaya outfit, sponsored by Emerald Brilliant Boutique.

7. subsidiary title winners (L-R): Miss Body Beautiful (Nurul Ain), Best Catwalk (Elaine Yeoh), Miss Photogenic (Ho Zie Qi), Miss Congeniality (Ros Hanafiah) & Miss Elegant (Monica Picca)

Five contestants were then shortlisted, and they had to answer a random question, such as “How to promote the kebaya?” and “What makes you different from the others?” I have to say that all five ladies answered eloquently despite their stage fright and nervousness.

It must have been a tough decision for the judges as there could only be one winner. However, it was a unanimous vote for Nurul Ain. Congratulations! May she do Perakians proud at the grand finals this November.
