The picture shared by the official Instagram handle was captioned, “You must not get stuck with murky surroundings you were born into, but do believe you have the power to change your own life for the better,” the inspirational quote by “Anna Sueangam-iam”, Miss Universe Thailand 2022, precisely reflects and self-defines her own significant characteristic.”

“Persistence, tenaciousness and optimism within her have led her to a great success in life. It is the result of being brought up by a father who is a garbage collector, street-sweeper mother, and a virtuous nun who was Anna’s great-grandmother,” the caption added.

“Although she was called by some “The garbage beauty queen,” that never stops her from shining bright as a precious gem.”

The viral dress is designed by Arif Jehwang of the Thai company MANIRAT, who was inspired by Anna’s modest upbringing. He conveyed her empowering life story through the “Hidden Precious Diamond Dress,” which is created with a combination of used aluminium pull-tabs of drink cans and Swarovski.
