<p>The crown is hers! <strong>CJ Opiaza</strong> is in Thailand for the crowning ceremony of <strong>Miss Grand International 2024</strong>. The announcement comes right after MGI announced the end of 2024 winner Rachel Gupta’s reign. CJ will be the first Filipina to wear the coveted MGI crown. Known for her magnetic walk and queenly looks, it’s no question why CJ is the perfect woman for the role. </p><div><br/></div><p>During the Miss Grand International 2024 pageant, she famously wore a stunning silver Mak Tumang gown with a sheer pearlesque cape. We expect nothing less from CJ and Mak for her grand coronation dress. On her Instagram stories, the beauty queen shared that Mak only had three days to create a custom gown for the celebration. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748952869600snapins-ai_3646780570186161808.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="CJ Opiaza at her Miss Grand International coronation | Photo from @missgrandinternational on Instagram"/><span class="fr-inner">CJ Opiaza at her Miss Grand International coronation | Photo from @missgrandinternational on Instagram</span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748952907499snapins-ai_3646780570110690264.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">CJ Opiaza at her Miss Grand International coronation | Photo from @missgrandinternational on Instagram</span></span></span></div><p>At her much-awaited coronation, CJ wore a custom Mak Tumang creation that featured a flattering silhouette elevated by a voluminous train. The look resembles a peacock&#x27;s majestic tail in a stunning green and gold color. A closer look at the gown shows the intricate beads and sequins that made the gown shine on stage. A soft fabric dyed to resemble a green flower tied the whole look together. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748952922957snapins-ai_3646783744906354849.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Cj Opiaza&#x27;s custom Mak Tumang gown | Photo from @maktumang on Instagram"/><span class="fr-inner">Cj Opiaza&#x27;s custom Mak Tumang gown | Photo from @maktumang on Instagram</span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748952973961snapins-ai_3646783745006766662.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Behind-the-scenes at Mak Tumang&#x27;s atelier | Photo from @maktumang on Instagram</span></span></span></div><p>Before her trip to Thailand, CJ was photographed in an extraordinary Francis Libiran ensemble to mark the start of her reign.
