The 61st Binibining Pilipinas candidates once again turned heads and stole hearts as they lit up the Lagoon runway in Gateway Mall 2, Araneta City, during the much-anticipated Lagoon Fashion Show held on 28 May 2025.

Set against the breezy, tropical-inspired ambiance of The Lagoon—a one-of-a-kind, 84-foot-long shallow pool surrounded by foliage and restaurant spaces—the event blended fashion and pageantry in a stunning showcase of confidence and style. The Binibinis walked the shimmering runway in vibrant yellow swimsuits designed by Dia Ali by Justine Aliman, capturing the sun-soaked energy of the season.

The bright hues, sleek cuts, and tropical flair of the swimsuits perfectly complemented the candidates’ radiant beauty and poise. Styled by Patrick Henry, with footwear by Mari Queen and accessories by Christopher Munar, the overall aesthetic was one of elegance, empowerment, and modern femininity.

The finale was led by reigning queens Myrna Esguerra (Binibining Pilipinas International 2024), Jasmin Bungay (Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2024), Christal Jean Dela Cruz (1st Runner-Up), and Trisha Martinez, who all graced the catwalk in bold hot pink swimsuits, drawing cheers from the crowd.

Dia Ali by Justine Aliman, known for its luxurious designs and body-flattering silhouettes, continues its role as the official swimsuit provider for the pageant—highlighting the form, flair, and fearlessness of every Binibini on stage.

The Lagoon’s unique layout—an open-air dining and retail space transformed into a fashion runway—provided a stunning backdrop for the event, adding an extra layer of charm and elegance to the show.

As the road to the coronation night heats up, fans can look forward to the Grand Parade of Beauties on June 8 and the Grand Coronation Night of Binibining Pilipinas 2025 on June 15, to be held at the iconic Smart Araneta Coliseum.

With glamour, grace, and grit on full display, this year’s Binibinis are proving they’re more than just beautiful—they’re ready to reign.
