As the final stretch before the finals, Miss Grand International held its 2023 preliminary competition last Sunday, October 22. An important aspect of the pageant, the prelims will determine the list of semifinalists who will continue their fight towards the golden crown.
Marking herself safe and already securing her spot, Miss Grand Philippines 2023 Nikki de Moura certainly didn’t disappoint as she gave a powerful and solid performance. Entering the stage with a winning demeanor, Nikki was oozing with great presence and confidence.
During the preliminary evening gown, in particular, this was abundantly clear as Nikki emerged looking like a real-life Barbie doll! Serving us face and a hot pink dream, here is a closer look at her splendid look.
Nikki de Moura is a living Barbie doll in her Miss Grand Preliminary Gown
A creation of well-known Filipino designer Rian Fernandez, the design is aptly named the “Nikki Doll”. A custom fully hand-embroidered trumpet gown, it features a deep neckline with a sheer overskirt in cascading intricate details.
According to the designer, the color exemplifies majesty and femininity. Furthermore, the bodice is embellished with intricate glass crystals and rhinestones that were “carefully handcrafted to perfection.”
Youthful, flirtatious, and sophisticated all at once, the gown excellently complements Nikki’s image, branding, and personality.
Miss Grand International 2023 will be staging its coronation night on Wednesday, October 25.
Congratulations on doing a phenomenal job, Nikki! We wish you the very best of luck and let’s get that first Miss Grand crown for the Philippines.
