The longest-running beauty pageant in the Philippines brings new glittering gowns that instill Filipino elegance at the coronation night
When Pia Wurtzbach won in 2015—then as a national representative to the queen of the universe—she brought along some change during her reign. Among which involved the evening gown. Since then, the contenders of the succeeding Binibining Pilipinas queens had the liberty and the responsibility to choose the frocks and the designers that could make or break their performance. At the 60th Binibining Pilipinas coronation night, indeed, a number of candidates made the right call in their memorable numbers. With that, here are MEGA’s best evening gowns that graced last night’s stage.
