Michelle Dee goes daring in new magazine cover

Michelle Dee is bold and daring in her latest magazine cover.

The Miss Universe Philippines 2023 queen graced L’Officiel’s June/July cover topless. She posed in nothing but black jeans and accessorized with jewelry from Tiffany & Co.

Another shot showed Michelle with her edgy short haircut, wearing a black blazer and gold jewelry. More photos showed Michelle in a chic black dress and white tank top.

The photoshoot follows the theme of authenticity in time for LGBTQIA+ Pride Month.

“Thank you @lofficielph for giving me my BOLDEST cover yet,” the Kapuso actress and beauty queen said in her caption.

“Embracing my truth, owning my story unapologetically, and finding success in authenticity. I’m soooo proud to stand tall alongside all of you," she added. “All love always and HAPPY PRIDE."

Michelle, who is proudly bisexual, also shared a story about how a young girl approached her when she came home from competing in Miss Universe 2023 in El Salvador.

“She told me how my story helped her—not only embrace herself, but it helped her parents accept her too…,” Michelle said. “The best thing about Miss Universe’ platform is really not the facade of things but the lives that you can touch and the unheard stories that inspire me everyday.”

Michelle came out as bisexual in 2023 after being crowned Miss Universe Philippines.

She finished in the Top 10 of the Miss Universe 2023 pageant and won several special awards. She recently crowned her successor, Chelsea Manalo from Bulacan.
