Miss Pakistan Erica Robin grabbed everyone's attention during the swimsuit preliminaries when she made a strong statement in an exquisite pastel pink burkini - a full-body swimsuit.
In the video that is doing the rounds on the internet, Erica Robin can be seen slaying the ramp wearing burkini, covering her entire body except for her face, hands, and feet.
Robin's decision to wear a burkini breaks with the traditional norms of beauty pageants and demonstrates her commitment to promoting cultural respect, challenging expectations and sexualisation of the female body.
