Putri Indonesia 2010 Nadine Alexandra Dewi Ames, 20, who represents Indonesia in the Miss Universe beauty pageant in Sao Paolo, Brazil, plans to steer clear of the stale issue of her choice to wear a one- or two-piece bikini, ahead of the final round of the pageant, an official says.
"Officially, we will let [Nadine] model a one-piece bikini. But, should she appear in a two-piece it should be done in the closed room," Putri Indonesia Foundation spokeswoman Mega Angkasa said Thursday as quoted in a phone interview by kapanlagi.com.
Mega said the contest required contestants to also wear a two-piece bikini during one session of the pageant.
Mega added that she had not heard any protests over the swimsuit Nadine had chosen.
"We have received no protests so far. Hopefully, there'll be no protests," she said.
Nadine has been in Sao Paolo since August 20 to take part in the contest, organized by businessman Donald Trump, and featuring 90 contestants.
The grand finale will be held in Sao Paolo on September 12.
Indonesians can vote for Nadine online at missuniverse.com. Voting will close on September 11 at 6 pm.
