Filipino pride was on full display at the Miss Universe 2018 preliminaries with six candidates wearing creations of Pinoy designers during the pageant's evening gown competition.
The preliminary round was held on Thursday night, December 13, at IMPACT Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
Philippine bet Catriona Gray, who is currently a hot topic on social media, put up an amazing performance clad in an Ibong Adarna-inspired gown by Mak Tumang.
Aside from Catriona, Miss Ecuador Virginia Limongi also donned a creation of a Filipino designer. Her immaculate white column gown was designed by Mark Bumgarner.
The former Miss World 2014 contestant worked as a model in the Philippines before she joined the pageant.
Meanwhile, Miss Canada Marta Stepien looked like a living doll wearing a form-fitting gown by Dubai-based Filipino designer Michael Cinco. Marta flew to Dubai to personally pick up her gown before heading to Bangkok.
Miss Japan Yuumi Kato veered away from the typical beauty queen look in her sophisticated white ball gown designed by Joel Escober.
Miss Kenya Wabaiya Kariuki called Jian Lasala's sheer gown an awesome masterpiece.
Miss New Zealand Estelle Curd glittered in her red gown created by Iloilo-based designer Sidney Eculla.
Miss Nepal Manita Devkota was also clad in a sheer dress with fringe detail by House of Bea Bianca.
