The costume is plated with gold and copper to create a glittering effect. Crystal and gemstones are also attached, so it sparkles under the stage lights. Harmonious colours honour the beauty, strength, and resilience of women who stand ready to contribute to national construction and protection alongside their male counterparts. (Photo: Vietnam+/VNA)
