LOOK: Ahtisa Manalo stuns in blue evening gown, neon two-piece at Miss Cosmo 2024 jury session
Philippines' Miss Cosmo 2024 bet Ahtisa Manalo was a sight to behold during the night gown and swimsuit portions of the beauty pageant's jury session.
During the night gown segment on Oct. 4, Manalo dazzled in a flowy blue gown with a laurel-like gold design on the chest.
Despite suffering a sprained ankle days ago, the 27-year-old beauty queen oozed with confidence as she walked toward the microphone before introducing herself as the country's delegate.
During the swimsuit segment, Manalo sashayed down the runway with her two-piece neon bikini, blue mesh cape, and silver heels.
She used her cape with much elegance, spreading and waving her arms even as she was twirling to highlight her curves.
Her cape billowed as she left the stage, exuding much grace.
Before the jury session, Manalo wore a national costume inspired by the Filipino mermaid Dyesebel. Her costume had fabrics mirroring the ocean, shimmering scales, beaded patterns, and hand- and head-pieces similar to a mermaid’s tail.
She won the "First Station" of Miss Cosmo's People's Choice voting and made it to the Top 3 of the National Pride stage.
She also led the voting in the Big Bang stage.
Manalo missed several activities due to her sprain, including those that involve interacting with supporters, sponsors, and other candidates.
At the time, the organization assured fans that she is "safe and opted to rest so she can be well enough to take on the coming challenges."
The Miss Cosmo 2024 coronation night will be held on Oct. 5, Saturday.
Manalo finished second runner-up in Miss Universe Philippines 2024. She is vying for the country's first Miss Cosmo pageant crown.
She also previously represented the country in Miss International 2018 and was crowned first runner-up.
