A clean updo with a warm nude palette that elevated her white gown. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777735779794IMG_6834.jpg" style="width:700px;display:block;height:auto" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Cebu Province - Nicole Borromeo</strong></div><p>A vision in blue! Cebu Province held her own during the Q&amp;A portion, delivering a compelling and confident message. She paired her striking gown with a clean, pulled-back ponytail and a soft pink flush of makeup, perfectly brightening her complexion and ensuring her features stood out. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777735850572IMG_6832.jpg" style="width:700px;display:block;height:auto" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/></div><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>La Union - Bea Millan-Windorski</strong></div><p>This year’s crowd favorite, Miss La Union, shone in every segment of the competition. From the preliminaries and national costume to the swimsuit and evening gown rounds, Bea consistently served a visual feast. On coronation night, her glam featured a stunning earthy palette: smoky eyeshadow, a perfect nude lip, and seamlessly chiseled contours. Worn with long, silky hair, the styling perfectly accentuated her striking features.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777735919513IMG_6829.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Sultan Kudarat - Jen Rose Gomez Javier</strong></div><p>Sultan Kudarat emerged as the dark horse of this year’s Miss Universe Philippines, ultimately claiming the Pina Beauty title. Draped in a shimmering, gradient blue gown, the beauty queen wore her hair in soft, cascading waves swept to the left. This elegant styling beautifully framed her face, allowing her right profile to take center stage.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777734994219Sultan Kudarat.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @jenrosejavier_ </span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Taguig - Ysabella &quot;Bella&quot; Roxas Ysmael</strong></div><p>“What an ethereal beauty.” That was exactly our thought the moment she graced the MOA Arena stage. Wearing a stunning feathered gown that cascaded effortlessly as she walked, she complemented her angelic silhouette with an equally elegant glam. Luscious lashes, delicately arched brows, and a soft berry lip completed the celestial look.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777735958293IMG_6830.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Pampanga - Allyson Hetland</strong></div><p>A striking figure sashaying across the stage—that is exactly how Pampanga graced the coronation night. Flaunting a radiant, gilded look for the finale, her glam featured a beautiful golden smoky eye paired with a complementary warm flush on the cheeks and lips overlined to absolute perfection.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777736108893IMG_6835.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Tarlac</strong><strong> - Marian Arellano</strong></div><p>The moment she appeared on screen, her beautiful brown skin instantly stole the show. Framed by a strikingly piercing gaze, her glam was intentionally restrained. By using only a minimal wash of blush, the styling perfectly allowed her natural, glowing complexion to take center stage.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777735266500SnapInsta.to_672414570_18175848409397868_8866966183952222967_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @themissuniversephilippines</span></span></span></div><div><em>Photos via Youtube/EmpirePH</em></div>
