Pau according to her Facebook bio is a “Registered nurse working out of the medical world. Part-time model. Certified foodie. Free-thinker. A lover of gory and weird things. A proud Filipina and one hardcore social nerd and couchsurfer. In a nutshell, I’m weird. I’m a melancholic who can’t help but smile. I strive to be the best me that I can possibly be.I always challenge myself. I live a simple life despite my complexities. Happiness is the soundtrack of my life. Helping others is my primary reflex. Art, music, nature and food are my tranquilizers. The world is my inspiration. Family and friends are the reasons for living.” She is 25 years old and is from Ormoc City.

Meet Binibining Pilipinas 2013 No.1 Ria Rabajante

Binibini No.1 Ria Rabajante

Ria is 23 years old and is from Pasig City. She studied at the Assumption College and is a creative photographer. In 2008, this exotic lass joined the Miss Bikini Philippines. Ria has got the beauty and the body to boot – my only concern is her height. I hope someone could clarify her real height. She was said to be just 5’4″ and that’s pretty short for a queen.  Whatever she lacks in height though, I believe that she’d be able to make it up with something else – something that is amazing hopefully.

7. Charlize Theron

Like Lawrence, Charlize also wore a white Dior dress which reminds me of the White dress explosion from last year's ceremony. She still pulled if off though and I'm loving her in this dress!

Kristen Stewart was in a very beautiful Reem Acra gown who walked the red carpet in crutches. The actress apparently had her foot cut on glass two days before the big O. With or without the crutches, Kristen is rocking this look effortlessly!

NUMERO UNO – ULTIMATE BEST DRESSED!

JESSICA CHASTAIN

She may have lost the big prize to Jennifer Lawrence but she clearly outstaged the Best Actress winner at the red carpet. Jessica was looking oh-so-good in a sequined Armani Prive nude gown. This girl's flawless! She's definitely my ultimate best dressed!
