This year’s National Costume theme is a celebration of a bygone era of elegance and sophistication—the Manila Carnival Queens. They are the first Filipina beauty queens whose names are still remembered by historians and pageant aficionados. Their images wearing elaborate and intricate costumes live on in black and white photos. So we wanted to bring these back to life and imagine how they would have looked today. Our delegates’ costumes are all masterfully created for them by world-class Filipino designers. It showcases the Filipina beauty, heritage, and artistry interpreted in modern, traditional, and avant-garde ways. Regardless of its interpretation, at the very core is the heart of a Filipina who is proud of her history, heritage, and country.
