Representing our country for this year’s Miss Universe, Celeste Cortesti steps up to the role as she competes for the crown this January 14, 2023 in New Orleans, which is January 15 in the Philippines.

An outstanding line of accomplishments, Celeste Cortesi is a contender with fierce determination.
To honor the beauty queen before she competes, we look back on her stylish ensembles outside her pageant life. From casual outfits to show-stopping pieces, we rounded up 10 looks we love from Celeste Cortesi.
Sultry cuts
Celeste Cortesi definitely sparkled at the GMA sparkle ball in her sultry number that featured cutouts on the bodice and a rather revealing back.
Alluring in velvet
Though the material may look simple, it’s a detail that really puts the spotlight on the sensual design of the dress. The high neck was cut by the bust to create a simple bralette while the skirt started with a simple knot.
Cascading sequins
The sequined gown sported a cutout that flowed from the bust down to the hip while the high slit was there for an added sensual detail.
Disco queen
It may be a classic silhouette, but Celeste Cortesi keeps up with the trend with her embellished mini dress that perfectly hugs her figure.
Playful blues
Here’s another mini dress moment that Celeste Cortesi slayed. Her mini royal blue dress was adorned with embellishments as well, but this time around, she opted for a square neckline—giving a dainty yet flirty vibe.
Sculpted beauty
This look is one for the books. The beauty queen donned a neon orange sculpted corset and magenta trousers that certainly accentuated her figure.
New business
Celeste Cortesi goes for a structured look that plays with feminine elements like the vest corset, as well as masculine elements such as the pinstripe coat and trousers.
Y2K moment
We all love a color coordinated outfit and Celeste definitely got the memo. She went with brown hues with the figure-hugging turtleneck and mini skirt—it’s giving Miu Miu and we’re here for it.
Classic black
The beauty queen opted for a laidback look as she played with the textures of her black bodysuit styled with a pair of knee-high boots that had a shiny finish.
Colorblocked ‘fit
Color blocking can be a little tricky, but Celeste Cortesi pulled it off with a youthful yet seductive outfit. Her orange cropped blazer paired well with the brown trousers, but it’s white lace corset that elevated her look.
