Still a Miss Universe in her own right
Even though Catriona only had two outfit changes as in the Miss Universe 2022, she didn’t disappoint. For her first look, she brought magic to the universe that wasn’t a tale as old as time as she was dressed in bright yellow, similar to that of a Disney princess. The one-sided halter gown by Julianne Syjuco was made with intricate details of little gold leaves connected to a captivating flare which gives the garment a projection volume, fitting for a beauty queen. Afterwards, Catriona was clad in an asymmetrical gown by Jaggy Glarino that gave us a peek at her toned midriff. It comes to no surprise that she once again made a lasting impression in the Tiffany blue hued ensemble as she was one of the personalities who escalated the meaning of beauty and charm within the prestigious event.
Catriona’s stylists Justine Aliman and Myrrh Lao To were the masterminds behind her two glamorous looks. According to Myrrh, his team wanted Catriona to embody her bright personality in her first look, which is why they decided to dress her in a yellow gown that shines like a ray of sunshine.
Miss Universe turned pageant host
Catriona Gray is always iconic not only because of her looks, but also due to her reactions in front of the camera. For this year’s Miss Universe, Catriona is again making waves online for her cute and hilarious reactions from time to time, especially after the Top 16 candidates were revealed. Filipino pageant fans took to social media their praises for the former Miss Universe’s graceful performance as a backstage commentator along with TV personality, Zuri Hall. A lot were entertained by the beauty queen’s hosting stint, especially after uplifting the spirits of Filipinos and other countries through her quips amidst the intense atmosphere of the competition.
