2021's National Costume is designed by the renowned Singaporean couturier, Frederick Lee that also features a graphic print by local award-winning artist, Lee Xin Li.

The print weaves the intricacies ranging from familiar landmarks to notable incidents that make up Singapore’s unique stories into a cohesive map of our mighty red dot; detailed in our national colours of red and white. While the structured dress pays homage to the steadfastness and resilience of the Singapore spirit regardless of the challenges we face, including this pandemic, the jewelled bodice gives a nod to the flora and fauna of Singapore.

Capturing the minute details of Singapore helps us to understand our roots and reflect on how far we have come while setting a solid foundation for us as we strive towards our future. The head piece with the five stars arising represents the country’s values of Democracy, Peace, Progress, Justice, and Equality therefore, reminding us of how each is a beacon of light to guide our way.
