LOOK: PH beauty queens stun during MGI All Stars arrival
Filipino pageant fans are buzzing with excitement after the country’s representatives have made a head-turning arrival in Thailand for the Miss Grand International All Stars competition.
Candidates from all over the world have already started arriving for registration in jaw-dropping outfits even before the pageant festivities officially begin, and the Philippines' representatives were no exception.
For the inaugural edition, the country will be represented by five beauty queens, namely, Alexia Núñez, Fuschia Ravena, Gazini Ganados, Imelda Schweighart, and Keylyn Trajano.
Ganados flew to Thailand sporting a fierce, ethereal goddess look featuring flowing white drapery, metallic gold armor pieces, and high-platform heels.
"A heart full of gratitude as I begin this journey. Thank you to everyone sending love, prayers, and support. This is only the beginning," she wrote.
Schweighart also looked incredibly elegant in her sheer lace gown decorated with delicate, intricate embroidery and patterns, as seen in pictures posted by her fan during her send-off.
For Núñez's part, she decided to turn heads in a gorgeous black gown that completely steals the spotlight with its elegant, subtle shimmer. To top off the look, she pairs it with a flowing cape that adds a perfect touch of red-carpet drama.
What's even better is that she crafted the dress herself.
"This dress wasn’t just chosen by me—it was created by me, together with the incredible people who work alongside me. A piece designed with heart, intention, and purpose," she wrote in her post.
"The inspiration came from traditional Thai elegance, especially the beauty of draping and fluid silhouettes so present in their culture. I wanted to create something that honored Thailand while still carrying my own identity and essence within it," she added.
Trajano, meanwhile, went all out and wore not one, but two stunning outfits as she flew to compete for the pageant. For her first look, she was a shimmering beauty in her silver sequined gown with a flowing white cape.
She switched to a bold, high-fashion statement for her second look, which features a striking magenta gown set that commands attention. She capped off her ensemble with a golden leaf headpiece.
"Stepping into the all star journey showcasing the importance of cross country collaboration paying homage to both my Filipino heritage and giving respect to the Thai culture," she wrote.
Ravena has yet to post about her arrival look.
The MGI All Stars will have its coronation night on May 30. A total of 58 pageant veterans are vying to win the first All-Star crown, as well as the prize money ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000 (about P5,896,500 to P58,965,000).
