All the stunning outfits Angelique Manto wore during her Miss Universe Philippines 2023 journey
Miss Universe Philippines 2023 2nd runner-up Angelique Manto was easily one of the crowd's favorite candidates during this year's competition. She's a genuine advocate of mental health, a progressive beauty queen, and a wise and intelligent woman who has a pure heart for people.
But apart from being a candidate for this year's competition, Angelique is also known for many things. She used to be a courtside reporter for UAAP and has joined numerous beauty pageants in the past. She won titles such as Mutya ng Kapampangan 2014, Mutya ng Lubao 2014, and Miss TSITP 2013 2nd Runner-Up.
While she was on a pageant break, Angelique hopped on numerous activities that further enhanced her passion for fashion and the arts. She became a digital content creator and a true fashion inspiration in her own right. That's why she easily knows her stuff.
Check out all of the stunning outfits Angelique wore during her Miss Universe Philippines 2023 journey.
Power suit
Former courtside reporter Angelique Manto made sure to put her power suit on as she entered the Miss Universe Philippines 2023 application. In her TikTok account, she shared, “my full look going into the #MUPH2023 application consists of pieces from my very own closet - wanted to come in presenting my very self on the day that held much importance to me.”
Cheetah Rivera
For her final screening for Miss Universe Philippines 2023, Angelique made sure to stun and leave a mark wearing this stunning Cheetah Rivera ensemble. We first spotted this on international fashion and style icon Heart Evangelista who wore it during Paris Fashion Week last 2022.
Filipiniana
Angelique shined and effortlessly captivated attention in this pure white Filipiniana from Filipino fashion designer Cheetah Rivera.
Girl boss
Angelique added flair to her go-to girl boss look having that dazzling sheer trail underneath her oversized white coat.
Bonita Penaranda
One of our favorite looks from Angelique is this sultry dazzling dress from stylist Bonita Penaranda who also has her own clothing line.
Ushishato
This piece though from Ushishato encapsulated the very essence of Angelique Manto, posh, sultry, and stylish.
Beach girl
If you're an avid follower of Angelique on Instagram, you would know that this social media personality is a beach enthusiast of her own accord. From time to time, you would spot her in stunning swimsuits like this one.
Beach fit
Another beach outfit, we loved on Angelique is this sheer white backless dress from Ushisato. The beauty queen's curves are on fleek in it.
Martin Bautista
Angelique's beauty is definitely made for the universe especially wearing this two-piece ensemble from Martin Bautista.
Photoshoot Challenge
Angelique made it to the top 5 winners of the Best in Photoshoot Challenge and we're not at all surprised. This beauty queen knows how to work her way around a camera, especially rocking a Cheetah Rivera ruffled dress.
Swimsuit Challenge
Angelique is on a winning streak as she also made it to the top 5 winners of the Best in Swimsuit Challenge wearing her green two-piece swimwear.
Jojo Bragais
Angelique is the epitome of class and elegance as she wore this stunning light blue modern Filipiniana from fashion designer Jojo Bragais. In her caption, she shared, “When we were asked to wear a modern Filipiniana, I wanted to mix my explorative fashion sensibilities to the regality and honor our Filipiniana has; getting my whole vision, collaborating on an outcome we are proud of, and executing the whole garment in roughly three days, what a feat for us but most especially to @patriciaapascual.”
National Costume
For the national costume, Angelique made sure to represent her hometown Pampanga in a myriad of ways. “In collaboration with Kapampangan designer Cholo Ayuyao, this is an ode to my hometown Lubao's Sampaguita festival. This Sampaguita costume embodies the dwindling and almost forgotten Sampaguita farming industry and reintroducing it to the country: wearing this represents the tradition of the harvest, the fragrant courage of my Kapampangan people and the spirit to push on even in this most modern of times.” Angelique shares.
Evening Gown
Last but definitely not least is Angelique's stunning green gown from fashion designer Frederick Policarpio. When she walked on that runway wearing this gown, everyone's jaws dropped and we were left stunned. Truly, her Miss Universe Philippines 2023 was a blast.
