Named the “The rebirth of the terno”, the red custom-made Filipiñana aims to represent the Filipina’s power, pride, strength, and the willingness to fight for her own freedom and rights. Designed by Filipino designer Ehrran Montoya, it is described as, “a classic silhouette, following the traditional draping and ’70s sophisticated butterfly sleeves.”
The costume also has a lavish train, elaborately designed with intricate embroidery and adorned with a variety of beadwork. Completing the look with a traditional umbrella, it boasts an eye-catching “Okir” pattern which is typical among the Moro and Lumad tribes as well as some regions in Sabah.
The coronation night of Miss Supranational 2023 will begin at 2 A.M. here in the Philippines. The pageant’s official YouTube channel will provide livestream coverage of the event.
