One of the things that captivates many people, not only Indonesians, is when Laksmi wears her national costume.

The national dress or costume worn by Laksmi is inspired by the pinisi ship, a traditional wooden ship unique to the Bugis tribe in South Sulawesi, known as seafarers.

Since December 2017, the pinisi ship has also been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of the world. It's no wonder that Laksmi's national costume this time is very clever.

Not only wearing ship accessories, Laksmi also carries a kind of spear that makes her look like a sea goddess. This dress is called The Glory of Phinisi and is the work of designer Ikie Morphacio.
