Chelsea Manalo channels Princess Tiana in latest photos
Chelsea Manalo is undoubtedly the Philippines' very own Princess Tiana.
On Instagram, the Miss Universe Philippines 2024 shared her gorgeous portraits inspired by the Disney Princess in the film "The Princess and the Frog."
In the photos, Chelsea wore her Jewelmer crown while donning a green gown inspired by Princess Tiana by The Atelier Arcusa.
"The journey has been magical, and with your support, we can make dreams come true," the Bulakenya beauty queen said in the caption.
Chelsea then called on her fans and the rest of the Filipinos to vote for the Philippines in the Miss Universe app.
"Don't forget to cast your votes and help me reach for the crown!" she said.
Earlier this month, Chelsea arrived in Los Angeles before the Miss Universe 2024 pageant in Mexico.
Before departing the Philippines, the Bulakenya beauty met with the press members for last-minute interviews, as well as a crowd of supporters to see her off.
Chelsea will vie for the country's fifth Miss Universe crown on the coronation night on November 16 (November 17, Philippine time). The Preliminary and National Costume competitions are set for November 14.
The 25-year-old won the Miss Universe Philippines 2024 crown in May, making her the first Filipino-Black American candidate ever to win the national title.
Go for the crown, Chelsea!
