Kapanlagi.com - The Grand Final of Miss Mega Bintang 2024, which took place on May 19, 2024, has crowned Nova Liana as the winner and awarded her the title of Miss Mega Bintang Indonesia 2024.

This title also confirms that Nova Liana is Miss Grand Indonesia 2024. As Miss Grand Indonesia 2024, Nova Liana will participate in the Miss Grand International 2024 competition in Cambodia and Thailand from October 3 to 25, 2024.

According to the founder of the Dunia Mega Bintang Foundation, Ivan Gunawan, in addition to impressing the judges with her beauty, elegance, and speaking skills, Nova Liana also demonstrated her spirit and dedication through various activities, including social activities.

1. Showcase National Costume

"I see Nova not only as physically beautiful, but also smart and possessing unique potential, because through this event I want to bring forth a Queen who is not only beautiful but also thoroughly intelligent and has unique potential to be proud of," explained Ivan Gunawan.

On Sunday (29/9), Ivan Gunawan and the Dunia Mega Bintang Foundation held a press conference for the release of Miss Grand Indonesia 2024 heading to Miss Grand International 2024 at W Superclub Gatot Subroto Jakarta.

Ivan Gunawan showcased the National Costume that will be worn by Nova Liana during the Miss Grand International 2024 event. This National Costume takes inspiration from the characteristics of the Payakumbuh restaurant, which serves the flavors of West Sumatra cuisine, designed by Annisa Banyuwangi and fully supported by Payakumbuah Masakan Padang.

2. The Distinctive Flavors of Indonesia

“I want to showcase the distinctive flavors of Indonesia at every global event. We once created a National Costume themed around the special satay of Madura for Aurra Kharishma, Reog Ponorogo for Andina Julie, then Dewi Matahari for Ritassya, and now I want the National Costume that Nova will wear to be themed around the culinary flavors of West Sumatra. Because currently, the cuisine of West Sumatra has become world-renowned, even the rendang has become one of the tastiest dishes in the world,” said Ivan Gunawan.

Because of this idea, Ivan Gunawan contacted Arief Muhammad, the owner of Restoran Payakumbuah, for collaboration. Ivan's intention was warmly welcomed by Arief Muhammad.

3. Three Weeks

"It was the first time I was invited to collaborate with Kak Ivan. Kak Ivan provided the design, I was amazed and I immediately agreed to give my full support," said Arief.

Meanwhile, the process of creating this National Costume itself takes three weeks. The designer, Annisa Banyuwangi, shared the challenges in making the National Costume.

“The difficulty lies in the opening and closing mechanism, which is quite challenging, because inside there are many plates with various typical Padang dishes. The costume creation takes two weeks and one week for trial and error with the opening and closing. So the total process takes three weeks,” she said.
