R'Bonney looked like a mountain flower in this shoot for the 72nd Miss Universe.

"A not so casual morning hike up Santa Ana volcano..Anything for the shot right?! 🌋" R'Bonney wrote on her Instagram. The voluminous multilayered gown evoked petals stood out against the stark barren background.

The dress is designed by Albert Andrada, a fashion designer known for his opulent pieces. Andrada is the Design Council Head of Miss Universe Philippines.

Miss Universe 2023 will be held in El Salvador on 18 November 2023. Model and actor Michelle Dee is the Philippine entry to the tilt.
