EXCLUSIVE: You Too Can Get Your Hands On Catriona Gray's Iconic Ear Cuff—Here's How!
Catriona Gray, the Filipino-Australian stunner whose most memorable moments at Miss Universe 2018 competition include her "Lava Turn" and custom-made ear cuff by by Tessera Jewelry, has officially been named Miss Universe 2018.
She is the fourth Filipina to earn the title, following Pia Wurtzbach in 2015.
The 5'10" beauty was in the Top 3 alongside Miss South Africa Tamaryn Green and Miss Venezuela Isabella Rodriguez, and was named the evening's winner by host Steve Harvey.
Miss Universe 2017, South Africa's Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, was at the event to officially hand over the Mikimoto Peal Crown to her successor who shone in another Mak Tumang gown done in bold, fiery red and orange.
The Miss Universe competition is Catriona's second try at pageants; her foray into pageantry was in 2016 when she made it to the Top 5 at the 2016 Miss World competition.

The reason why she did not get the crown for Miss World before, is because there's a much better crown suited for her. In God's time, you are being crowned as #MissUniverse2018 and I am so so proud of you, #CatrionaGray ?? #MissPhilippines #MissUniverse pic.twitter.com/DU8LVoQjfP
