R'Bonney Gabriel is a stunner on the Francis Libiran runway
R’Bonney Gabriel closed out Francis Libiran’s fashion show, and she was nothing but stunning.
The Fil-Am beauty queen showed her impressive runway skills in an elegant black ombre gown, with a fitted top and mermaid-like bottom. She also had on large black beaded earrings.
“What I would have worn to the #goldenglobes,” she said in her caption.
Tagging Francis, R’Bonney added, “Thank you for letting me close your show, it was an honor.”
According to a post by the Filipino fashion designer, his eponymous label is “the first Filipino global brand to debut its collection at San Francisco's prestigious Ferry Building, illuminating the Love the Philippines event with unparalleled Filipino artistry and style.”
R’Bonney was crowned Miss Universe 2022 and is the first Filipino-American queen to have the title. Aside from being a beauty queen, she is also a sustainable fashion designer.
She also supports Filipino fashion designers. She wore pieces by Michael Cinco and Rian Fernandez. Plus, her Miss Universe national costume was made by Patrick Isorena.
In 2023, R’Bonney visited the Philippines in 2023 as the special guest for the Miss Universe Philippines coronation night. She was also able to reunite with her family and visit her dad’s home street in Malate.
She was also one of the hosts of the Miss Universe 2023 National Costume competition at the pageant in El Salvador.
