Tripura wins Best National Costume
Tripura earned national honours at the event as Chandamita Roy won the Best National Costume award, wearing a creation conceptualised and designed by renowned fashion curator Yana Ngoba Chakpu, Founder & CEO of Northeast India Fashion Week – The Artisans Movement.
The award winning costume celebrated the artistry of Tripura’s indigenous communities while honouring India’s tribal heritage. At its core was an authentic handwoven textile of the Debbarman (Tripuri) community, woven on the traditional loin loom, preserving an age old weaving tradition.
Inspired by the Nagkesar, the State Flower of Tripura, the costume featured dramatic floral wings symbolising natural beauty, resilience, and cultural identity. The ensemble was further adorned with Indian coin jewellery, vibrant red beads, and silver tribal ornaments, creating a contemporary interpretation of India’s living tribal legacy.
With these achievements, Miss Teen Diva 2026 not only crowned new representatives for international pageants but also celebrated India’s diverse cultural heritage on a global stage.
