Manny Halasan has unveiled the final evening gown of Chelsea Manalo for the Miss Universe 2024.
On Instagram, the Filipino fashion designer shared a photo of the Bulakenya clad in a white Tiffany gown embellished with silver crystals and covered in Ostrich feathers.
“This Tiffany gown shows modern glamour meets timeless grace. A statement that our Queen is ready to be seen and will make her mark,” Halasan said.
“She comes in with a soft armor covered in Ostrich Feathers ready to unleash what she is authentically made of… simple yet strong, subtle but remarkable. Every step, every turn, and every air that breathes into this gown is magic that cannot be ignored. The Queen has arrived,” he added.
Chelsea finished her Miss Universe journey in the Top 30.
During the coronation night in Mexico City, Mexico on November 17 (Philippine time), the Filipina beauty queen gave a good fight in the competition. She brought out her Tampisaw Walk in the swimsuit portion.
In the Miss Universe 2024 preliminaries, she was a vision in her blue Manny Halasan evening gown and a total knockout in her bright blue bikini.
Meanwhile, during the national costume competition, Chelsea paid homage to the Philippines’s religions with her ensemble dubbed “Hiraya.”
The 73rd Miss Universe pageant is currently being held at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City. The winner will be crowned by reigning queen Sheynnis Palacios with Jewelmer’s “The Light of Infinity” crown.
