Samba group Beija Flor was declared Brazil’s carnival champion for the fifth time in six years, wowing judges with gold-encrusted, winged dancers and green jungle display floats.
Beija Flor’s lavishly decorated float scooped the top prize at the Rio carnival.
While Beija Flor’s dancers were topless, the judges drew the line at going bottomless, penalizing the rival Sao Clemente group for breaking a rule against display of genitalia during its 80-minute parade.
They didn’t name the offender, but she was widely believed to be samba queen Viviane Castro, who danced wearing only a 1.6-inch patch, believed to be the smallest in Rio parade history.
