Not surprisingly, a number of players will wear clothes that match the set theme. Coincidentally, this year the organizing committee set one of the themes as national costume.
Putri chose a blue kebaya as her outfit this time and it turned out that the costume won her the title of best dress.
“I didn’t expect to be best dressed last night at the Gala Dinner. I was given a reference from the shop where I ordered this dress,” said Putri in a statement via the federation, Tuesday (16/12/2025).
“I just said that I wanted to order something like a kebaya to represent Indonesia, especially the Javanese tribe which flows in my blood, finally it became the clothes I wore last night. Hopefully Indonesian culture will become more well known to the world,” said the world number seven player.
