Like Archangel Michael, who defends Ukraine with a sword, it protects us. Viktoriia has a weapon in her hands, her body is covered in armour, and at the same time, she carries light through the darkness that came to our peaceful lands with the aggressor.\u201d The post then added: \u201cThe monolithic jumpsuit symbolises armour and wraps Victoria like a second skin.The white dress consists of a stylization of a vyshyvanka with puffy sleeves and a skirt that has more than 10 meters of fabric to it. The headwear is decorated with spikelets, which are traditional in Ukraine. Finally, the explanation goes on to reflect on how \u201csymbolic wings are burned in battle, framed in blue and gold armour in the colours of the Ukrainian flag, and decorated with various mirror ornaments, opened for the decisive battle. The costume was created in Ukraine in four months in extreme conditions, to the sound of sirens, without electricity, and by candlelight.\u201d For all the latest entertainment news and updates, be sure to check out Dexerto\u2019s full coverage here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
