LOOK: Isabelle Daza as mom Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz

Although Isabelle Daza did not follow her mom Gloria Diaz’s footsteps of being a beauty queen, she surprised friends, fans, and followers last night.
 
During Tim Yap’s birthday celebration, she dressed as the 1969 Miss Universe titleholder and blew everyone away. 

 

When your mom is iconic enough to be a costume. Thanks for the crown. And thanks to my awesome team @nanteywest @antheabueno @lizzzuy @stylizedstudio @danaevernisse @thepatrickperez @stevencoralde
