Agnes Rahajeng Dazzles at Preliminary Miss Supranational 2026, Gold Dress Becomes the Spotlight

Agnes Rahajeng, the winner of Puteri Indonesia 2026, appeared confidently on the stage of the preliminary Miss Supranational 2026. This event took place at the Strzelecki Park Amphitheater, Nowy Sącz, Lesser Poland, featuring two main segments that Agnes participated in: swimsuit and evening gown.

In the evening gown session, the Indonesian representative chose the gold design by Hiantjen. The design is inspired by the concept of a female statue, highlighting elements of strength, elegance, and beauty that transcend time.

"This dress becomes a symbol of strength, elegance, and the timeless beauty of women. More than just a garment, this dress is a work of art. The gold color of the dress symbolizes the richness of Indonesia's cultural heritage, while the jewelry worn is inspired by the beauty of art and craftsmanship from the archipelago in the past. With a graceful and confident appearance, Agnes successfully showcased the charm of modern Indonesian women who are strong, elegant, and shining on the world stage," wrote the official Puteri Indonesia account on Instagram.

Before appearing in an evening gown, Agnes Rahajeng first strutted in the swimsuit session. She chose a black one piece swimsuit with white accents, specially made by Alvasus and Hwoe for the preliminary stage of Miss Supranational 2026.

Agnes displayed steady and confident steps, accompanied by a consistent smile from the beginning to the end of the runway. Her gestures made the preliminary stage feel familiar, as if she had explored it many times before.

The swimsuit look was complemented by a long white cape that flowed with her movements. The combination of the one piece silhouette with the cape gives a bold yet neat impression as Agnes twirled and struck her final pose.

2. Golden Gown by Hiantjen and Sculpture Inspiration

Entering the evening gown session, Agnes appeared in a golden outfit designed by Hiantjen. The gown concept is inspired by female sculptures and the grandeur of gold associated with Indonesia's cultural heritage, creating an iconic impression on stage.

Hiantjen, as the designer, revealed the detailed working process. The gown is adorned with thousands of crystals that are manually attached one by one, emphasizing precision and high artistic value in every panel and surface.

The construction details of the gown are designed to follow the body's curves precisely. The shape and cut highlight the silhouette from various angles, maintaining a clean proportion as Agnes walks and stops to pose.

In addition to the play of crystals and shiny materials, the jewelry worn by Agnes refers to the arts and crafts of the archipelago from the past. These accents align with the golden color of the gown, representing cultural richness as stated in the official statement from the Puteri Indonesia account.
