Philippines' Yllana Marie Aduana among top bets for Best National Costume in Miss Earth 2023
Philippine representative Yllana Marie Aduana is undeniably showcasing her A-game at the Miss Earth 2023 pageant!
The Laguna native has earned a spot in the Top 12 Best National Costume category.
The 25-year-old beauty queen is one of the three delegates for the Asia and Oceania continental group alongside Myanmar and Vietnam.
According to the post, this feat will enable the 12 delegates to double their voting points for the Miss People’s Choice.
During the national costume competition, Yllana wore a mountain-like skirt, an intricate golden piece with a matching headdress, inspired by Diwata Maria Makiling, associated with the famous Mount Makiling in Laguna.
Yllana has been busy with Miss Earth 2023 activities. Just last week, she made it to the list of the Top 5 Best Appearance.
She was also named Miss Earth 2023’s Best Bikini winner.
Yllana flew to Vietnam for the international pageant in November and vowed to do her best to bring the Miss Earth crown back to the country.
The Miss Earth 2023 coronation night is set to take place on December 22 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center.
