Bangkok: Nene's recent performance on America's Got Talent, where she sang Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun," has become a significant topic of discussion. Her captivating performance not only earned her a standing ovation and enthusiastic cheers from the judges and audience, but it also led to Mel B pressing the Golden Buzzer, securing Nene's place in the finals.
According to Thai News Agency, Nene's outfits from her performance have attracted global attention for their display of Thai culture. On Facebook, Nene Royal shared photos and stories about her stage outfit, aiming to let the world see the beauty and power of Thai culture. The outfit was not just a fashion statement but a fusion of Thai stories, art, culture, family, and dreams to showcase Thai identity globally.
Nene's ensemble started with Nene Royal T-shirts, crafted by Khun Aom, who modified them by cutting off the sleeves and adding fabric trim. The vest from TiTA Style combined Thai fabrics with leather, reflecting cultural values and contemporary style. The jewelry incorporated traditional Thai elements, redesigned to highlight Thai culture from a modern perspective.
The outfit included black zebra-print jeans from BLUMARINE, enhanced with a trouser covering made from "Poom Manjakiri" ikat silk, an ancient woven fabric from Khon Kaen Province. Gold leaf and a chain belt added elegance and a rock-and-roll touch, complemented by CPS black leather boots.
Nene also wore a brooch that sparked public interest. Initially thought to be a "pin tang," Auntie Daeng from the Chinpracha Antique House clarified it was a flower-shaped brooch. This attention has increased interest in Thai antique jewelry and clothing culture.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul praised Nene for bringing fame to Thailand and encouraged Thai people to support her in America's Got Talent 2026 finals. The finale is set for September 22, 2026, with the winner announced the following day.
