Let’s take a look back at Catriona Gray’s remarkable fashion journey in the Miss Universe 2018 pageant.

Catriona Gray, the beauty representing the Philippines, has been officially crowned Miss Universe 2018 in a convincing manner. This victory has made the 1994-born beauty queen the fourth Miss Philippines to win the most prestigious beauty pageant in the world.

Catriona Gray possesses an extremely sharp and attractive mixed-race beauty with Filipino – Australian blood and was considered from the beginning to be one of the most promising candidates for the title of Miss Universe 2018. In addition to her beautiful face, she also possesses outstanding advantages in catwalking, performing and behaving skills along with a very confident and attractive demeanor. Thanks to these plus points, although some audiences commented that she had a plumper “bread” waist than other contestants, Catriona Gray was still highly appreciated and eventually crowned.

Like most other beauties, Catriona Gray has prepared very carefully for her dresses at Miss Universe this year. The outfits she wore during the more than one month journey of the contest not only honored her outstanding beauty but also had a very “expensive” choice of colors, exuding the powerful aura of the 24-year-old beauty, many times overshadowing other contestants. Let’s take a look back at Catriona Gray’s fashion journey throughout the Miss Universe 2018 contest.

Sophistication, elegance and skillfully showing off sexiness and charm has been Catriona Gray’s style direction since the first days of participating in the contest. In her first appearance before the press as a representative of the Philippines, she wore an emerald green off-shoulder top with a very regal long hem combined with high-waisted pants that cleverly hid her “bread” waist.

During her visit to the Royal Palace, Catriona stood out from the crowd in a neon pink suit from Erwin Flores Atelier. This “difficult” color scheme highlighted her healthy tanned skin.

Not afraid to wear “difficult” bright colors and knowing how to cleverly choose colors that match her skin tone, Catriona Gray has many times overshadowed other contestants, typically at the welcome party with this powerful purple silk dress.

The white strapless dress with a moderate slit combined with nude high heels highlighted the beauty’s 1m78 height. All the costumes and accessories that Catriona Gray wore in the contest were created by Filipino designers.

At the party honoring the culture of Thailand, the host country of Miss Universe 2018, Catriona Gray wore a simple yet outstanding dress made from Thai silk.

In addition to the “bright” colors, minimalist white is also Catriona Gray’s favorite choice in the contest.

In addition to modern, trendy outfits, Catriona Gray also cleverly pays tribute to her native Philippine culture with designs made from special indigenous fabrics that cannot be found in any other country.

The 24-year-old beauty looks gentle and elegant in traditional Philippine attire including a Filipinana shirt and Ifugao skirt.

The costume Catriona Gray chose to perform in the National Costume competition was created by designer Jearson Demavivas. This design is known to honor the three major geographical regions of the Philippines: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

During the final night, the Philippine beauty wore three intricately embroidered designs that “ate” the spotlight, including a short dress and two long dresses.

The most eye-catching of these is the orange dress inspired by the Ibong Adarna bird in Philippine folklore. The dress is covered in sparkling feathers and catches the eye with its high slit.

And finally, the coronation dress with 3 hot red, black, and yellow tones symbolizing the Mayon volcano in the Philippines. This design called “lava dress” really “burned” on stage, bringing Catriona Gray to the most glorious moment. Both of the most gorgeous dresses that Miss Universe 2018 wore in the final night were the work of designer Mak Tumang, who was also responsible for her previous National Costume design.
