Miss Universe has unveiled its list of fan-favorite evening gown moments, and once again, the Philippines' Catriona Gray has made the cut.
Her iconic lava gown, inspired by the Mayon Volcano, was the first to appear in the official reel titled "Evening Gowns Runway Top 10 Fan Picks," released Wednesday.
Also featured in the list are Sheynnis Palacios (Nicaragua, 2023), Paulina Vega (Colombia, 2014), Harnaaz Sandhu (India, 2021), Ximena Navarrete (Mexico, 2010), Zuleyka Rivera (Puerto Rico, 2006), Zozibini Tunzi (South Africa, 2019), Iris Mittenaere (France, 2016), Dayana Mendoza (Venezuela, 2008), and Demi-Leigh Tebow (South Africa, 2017).
"Based on your votes... Here are the Top 10 evening gown runways you loved the most!" Miss Universe announced on its social media pages.
Gray’s fiery red gown, designed by Filipino couturier Mak Tumang, remains one of the most celebrated looks in pageant history. It has been replicated by candidates worldwide and even immortalized on her Madame Tussauds wax figure, which recently moved from Singapore to Hong Kong.
