Costumes: the beauty and glow that rule the Carnival in Rio

 
Every year the Schools of Samba create a special plot to tell a story during its parade. The themes are diverse and can be inspired by a place, a celebrity, an event, a historical character, or even be a funny critic based on our daily routine. To communicate the story, each School is divided into wards by different costumes so it can be highlighted and better seen by the audience and the jury.
When it comes to costumes you can expect all kinds of pieces: shoes, socks, shorts, bras, hasts, bathing suit. For its importance, costume is one of the judged itens of the parade.
