On top of the spectacular samba showcases, the festival also features hundreds of shiny and intricate costumes.
ActressPaolla Oliveirajoined the Rio Carnival wearing a clever costume that turned her into a jaguar as if by magic.
Videos shared by Oliveira onInstagramshow the actress clad in a glittery costume.
But the most captivating aspect of the costume is the headpiece.
The piece was designed byBruno Oliveira, who has dressed dozens of carnival dancers throughout the years.
There have been lots of tests, lots of trials.
That’s because it’s about a storyline that’s natural.
Additionally, the entire outfit is covered in crystals.
We’re probably talking about more than 40,000 crystals applied between her head and her body, Oliveira explained.
We really like the boldness and these transformations, Oliveira admits.
