Looi told the Malay Mail that Aina has always gone all out in terms of her clothing and has always preferred daring styles, “The dress was made out of synthetic hair, and it wasn’t just my idea, but Aina’s as well.

“It’s a very detailed dress as it has different kinds of braids that were all stitched together and had to be handled with care, especially during the sewing process.

Melinda said that one of the difficulties of making the attire was making sure that the braids were always neat and not tangled. Even after Aina’s full dress rehearsal which was two days before her performance, the team and hairstylist had to always fix and spray the wigs so that they were constantly intact. 

Not only that but Aina’s headgear was also made with intricate braid details from synthetic hair!
