Miss Universe Philippines Michelle Marquez Dee's evening gown at the prelims

"A symbol of power, transformation, and wisdom "


Miss Universe Philippines Michelle Marquez Dee with the Miss Universe 2023 contestants compete in evening gown during the Preliminary Competition held earlier today in El Salvador

A closer look at Michelle Dee's cut-out gown by internationally renowned fashion designer Mark Bumgarner, bedecked with 30,000 Swarovski crystals.

Michelle Dee and Mark patterned her preliminaries gown from Melanie’s winning look from Miss International 1979. The emerald green color was inspired by Melanie Marquez

Crafted by Mark Bumgarner, the gown sparkled with thousands of Swarovski crystals, while the deep green pays homage to her advocacy for autism and also serves as a heartfelt tribute to her mother, Melanie Marquez, adding layers of meaning and personal connection to this stunning creation.

Delving more into the intricacies of the design, Mark added, “The evening gown is fully encrusted with three shades of emerald green Swarovski crystals and contrasted black [ones] to give it a different dimension under the light. Overall, the dress is covered with thousands of crystals.”

Further integrating Melanie’s legacy of movement that forms into the letter S, Michelle decided to take it further by owning the snake symbol. “I wanted it to look like the skin of a green viper,” the designer pointed out. “It is a symbol of power, transformation, and wisdom.”
