The orange bikini and chocolate-color wig shone under the spotlight, outlining the enchanting figure of Chen Lili, a transexual Chinese woman at the Miss Universe-China competition in Southwestern Sichuan Province.
Though barred from the contest because she was born a man, Chen was given the chance to perform on Sunday and she cut quite a figure, reported Monday’s Shanghai Morning Post.
Pictures showed Li having her hair done in the dressing room, on the catwalk in a black suit with sequins all over, to the bikini show. “Chen seemed to outshine all the 37 beauty queen contestants on the stage,” the paper said.
