Tweet

Country's loveliest jazz up the runway at the Big Dome yesterday, April 11. They didn’t do Shamsey’s Tsunami or Janine’s  Cobra walk, but they ruled the runway just the same.

Clad in “Heritage” gowns by acclaimed fashion guru Pitoy Moreno and casuals from JAG, the fifty aspirants of the much coveted Binibining Pilipinas titles and current queens Ms. Universe 2012 1st Runner Up Janine Togonon, Binibining Pilipinas- International 2012 Nicole Smitz, Bb Pilipinas Tourism 2012 Katrina Dimaranan and Ms. Supernatural 2012 3rd Runner Up Elaine Kay Moll recently sashayed down the fashion ramp of the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

It was fitting tribute to the Philippine’s fashion czar and esteemed Binibining Pilipinas executive Board member.

Directed by Raymond Villanueva, the show featured choice outfits that ranged from elegant gowns to fun and sexy formals. The fifty candidates were clustered to parade different fashion concepts, mirrored through the Moreno collection and accompanying music. JAG provided casuals that were spiced up by accessories from the Binibini collection.

The Fashion show is the last of many activities that the fifty candidates engaged in the past months. The ladies also participated in a slew of charitable events including an Operation Smile mission conducted in Sta Ana Hospital in Manila. After this, the candidates are going to be busy with rehearsals en route to the Grand Coronation Night to be held on Sunday, April 14 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. This will be aired live on ABS-CBN Channel 2. 

The coronation night is expected to have an array of equally stylish former beauty queens who captivated the international pageant stage such as former Miss Universe queens Gloria Diaz and Margie Moran and Miss International winners Precious Lara Quigaman, Aurora Pijuan and Melanie Marquez. More than 70 of these former queens are expected to don their classiest gowns when they walk down the red carpet and grace the cocktails at the Grand Atrium of the Big Dome on pageant night.

Other notable beauties to grace the affair are Miss Universe 1999 1st Runner Up Miriam Quiambao, Miss Universe 2010 4th Runner Up Venus Raj, and Miss Universe 2011 3rd runner up Shamcey Supsup.
