37 Beautiful Men Dressed In Their National Costumes For A Global Male Beauty Pageant

The Mister Global Pageant, a male beauty pageant established in 2014, was held this year on September 26th in Thailand. Mister Global contestants take part in a National Costume Show, in which they model clothing meant to represent their country of origin. Photographer David Ryo captured the contestants in their costumes, and the images are stunning. Well, mostly. I don’t know about Sweden’s National Costume but to each his own. Superman’s cape could also use a good ironing.
