Miss Universe Philippines 2018 Catriona Gray for Preview.PH May 2018

Posted on May 7, 2018 | Leave a comment

Here’s my favorite and the reigning Miss Universe Philippines Catriona Gray gracing the digital cover of  Preview.PH’s May 2018 edition.

It has only been a month and a half since Catriona Gray was crowned Binibining Pilipinas-Universe but the internet is already abuzz with her fighting chance at this year’s Miss Universe pageant. Perhaps a fourth crown for the country at pageantdom’s most prestigious competition is all too soon—we had just won in 2015—but we’re not about to complain. Catriona, after all, goes far deeper than the aforementioned hype that surrounds her these days. Her dedication should not come as a surprise to anyone who’s seen her work at close range way before she became a full-fledged beauty queen. (s)

Posted on October 30, 2017 | Leave a comment

Now, this is what you call a National Costume! This is probably the best Filipiniana-inspired costume by any of our past and present representative in the international pageant arena! Karen looks absolutely breathtaking in it!

This intricate costume is the creation of Louis Pangilinan. I’m not very familiar with his work but I can already tell that I’m gonna be following his works from now on.

I thought Jessica got the best makeover! She looked so high fashion with that pixie-haircut!

At this week’s photoshoot, the girls were asked to embody Chinese Zodiacs wearing avante guard outfit from Tube Gallery and they were shot by international photographer Hakan Celebi. Who’s the zodiac that got a bad horoscope and went home?

Janine Tugonon’s Glamour Shot / Fadil Shot for Miss Universe 2012

Posted on December 8, 2012 | 1 comment

Here’s Miss Universe-Philippines’ Janine Tugonon looking so fierce and hot in her Miss Universe glamor shot also known as her “Fadil Shot” shot by the Miss Universe Organization’s official photographer Fadil Berisha. This in my opinion is one of the best glam shots this edition! It can rival Venus Raj’s 2010 Fadil shot but we all know no one can topped Queen V. 🙂 Things are looking good for Janine based on her candid and official pictures. I’m hoping that these would translate into the prelims and the finals! Go Janine!

Posted on August 18, 2011 | Leave a comment

Everyone came together for the first time to celebrate the movers and shakers within the industry from designers, stylist, fashion editors, show organizers and models at the first Philippine Fashion Ball. And with this event, it means that everbody came with their most fashionable do! So who topped our list for the “Best Dressed Of The Ball?” For this edition of Best Dressed, I’ve chosen eight stunning ladies whom I think are the fairest of the night.

8.

Bianca Gonzales – I love how simple this Russel Villafuerte dress is and how elegant it turned out with all the bangles that served as its only noticeable accessories. Bianca can never do wrong.

7.

Bianca Valerio in Joel Escobar – Bianca’s a fashion enthusiast and a TV personality / Make-Up Artist / Motivational speakers etc… and she just look stunningly beautiful in this creation!

6.

Sanya Smith – For those of you who still don’t know, Sanya is the second daughter of the Philippine Rock Icon Pepe Smith. She’s a model and a VJ and in this Kermit Tesoro‘s creation, you know that she’s rocking it!

5.

Rissa Mananquil is a model and former President of  Professional Models Association Of  The Philippines (PMAP) from 2003-2008.  She really knows how to work it, she have this translucent beauty that I just love about her!

4.

Actress Ann Curtis was wearing this revealing Rajo Laurel black dress which complimented her gorgeous features. What a goddess really.

3.

Janna Tee I know nothing about Janna Tee. I haven’t seen her in person and I read that she’s actually a model. A beautiful one indeed wearing this grecian-inspired dress.

2.

Apples Aberin was also a model and a former president of PMAP. She was a judge at the first and second season of Project Runway Philippines and will comeback again for the upcoming season 3 of the show. She is wearing the creation of her fellow Project Runway judge, Rajo Laurel. Doesn’t she look exceptional?

and the Best Dressed is…

Tweetie De Leon-Gonzales -Tweetie was a former actress and former president of PMAP. She still model and is the host in the upcoming season of Project Runway Philippines. She’s wearing a Rhett Eala creation that brings out her  beauty to high heavens!
