Miss Universe Canada, Chanel Beckenlehner, walked the stage Wednesday night in an elaborate, glamorous costume as a hockey player, complete with the Stanley Cup and a working scoreboard above her head.

Contestants from around the world displayed extravagant costumes on the runway as part of the preliminary competition for the 63rd Miss Universe competition in Miami, Florida.

Other contestants donned costumes just as outlandish as Beckenlehner, including those that wore jeweled and embroidered versions of a Celtic warrior, a national tree and a patron saint.

Contestants are required to represent a key element from the culture of their represented countries.

The final night for the competition is Jan. 25.
