R'Bonney Gabriel wears creation of Filipino designer Rian Fernandez for Miss Universe prelims hosting
Reigning Miss Universe R’Bonney Gabriel looked splendid anew in another stunning creation by Filipino designer Rian Fernandez as she hosted the pageant’s preliminary show this year.
On Instagram, R’Bonney shared snaps of herself wearing the bejeweled gown and tagged Rian in the caption.
The sparkling high neckline piece had a nude base and was covered with jewels lined in an intricate pattern.
She matched the gown with a pair of crystal earrings and stage-ready makeup by MUBA Cosmetics’ official artist Miguel Crespo.
During her Miss Universe coronation in January, the Filipino-American queen donned a stunning black and blue gown by Rian, adorned with black onyx and glass mirror drops.
R’Bonney visited the Philippines last May as the special guest for the Miss Universe Philippines coronation night. During her stay, she not only reunited with her Filipino family but also had the opportunity to visit her dad’s home street in Malate.
Meanwhile, the Miss Universe 2023 coronation night is happening on November 18, with Michelle Dee as the Philippines’ representative.
