Rabiya Mateo gears up for the pageant, slays in a latex swimsuit

It looks like Rabiya Mateo is all set for the Miss Universe pageant! 

On Instagram, the beauty queen shared photos of herself clad and slaying in a custom latex swimsuit designed by Bessie Besana.

"Am I late for summer?" Rabiya wrote in the caption of her post.

The photo and creative direction was done by Seven Barretto while the art direction was done by Erwin Botin with assistance from Claude Villahermosa.

The Filipina beauty queen was styled by Mikee Andrei while her hair and makeup was done by Carissa Medved and Aries Manal.

The official Miss Universe Instagram page earlier announced that the prestigious pageant will take place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida on May 16, 2021.

Rabiya has been preparing for the competition. Just recently she showed off her runway walk in a video posted on the Miss Universe Philippines Instagram account.

Rabiya won the Miss Universe Philippines crown last October. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
