A Miss Universe contestant has been reprimanded by pageant bosses after going commando at official appearances.
Catalina Robayo, who is competing as Miss Colombia, has been warned to dress more appropriately in future.
Pictures of the 22-year-old wearing a short red dress without underwear at a recent pre-show event were splashed on the front page of a local Brazilian newspaper and went viral on the internet.
"Colombia had to be spoken to and told she needed to wear underpants as what she was doing was totally inappropriate," a source told Fox News. "People have been pretty upset by it; there have been photos and media appearances where she has completely had her crotch out."
Paula Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organisation, added: "There were several girls in short dresses which is a little concerning, but when I saw the [commando] picture on the front page of one of the local papers was very, very surprised.
"Our supervisors talked to all of the contestants about dressing appropriately, and one of our PR people spoke to her [Robayo] and apparently she said she was wearing underwear. But regardless, it created quite a stir here for a few days."
The competition begins on Monday with a record number of contestants.
