Last night was one of the glamorous events leading up to the Miss Universe pageant—the Governor’s Ball hosted by Chavit Singson. The fundraising event is a Miss Universe tradition to highlight charities that the host country supports like the Philippine Red Cross, Gawad Kalinga Foundation, and more.
This event was also a chance to mingle and get to know all the candidates of Miss Universe. So, who dressed up and partied last night? Scroll, please.
The event was hosted by Joey Mead-King. During the event, she wore three looks designed by Mark Bumgarner. The red jumpsuit was our favorite.
Senator and boxing champion Manny Pacquiao was also present last night. Here, he is photographed with Ms. Peru (Valeria Piazza), Ms. Russia (Yuliana Korolkova), and Ms. Croatia (Barbara Filipovic).
Previous Miss Universe 1969 Ms. Gloria Diaz attended the event last night and was photographed with Gretchen Barretto (her makeup lewk was on point!), Ms. India (Roshmitha Harimurthy), and Ms. Myanmar (Htet Htet Htun).
Gretchen also posted a photo with PAGCOR president Atty. Fred Lim, Ms. Nicaragua (Marina Jacoby), and Ms. Honduras (Sirey Moran).
Former Miss Universe 1973 Ms. Margie Moran was also at the event. There was no shortage of beautiful people.
Jed Madella posted a photo before he performed on stage.
Alice Dixson with her dates for the night Eric Quizon and Ricardo Rivas.
Dawn Zulueta wore a dark blue dress with a belted waist. Why does she look like she doesn’t age at all? She also posted a photo with Lani Mercado.
And of course, this night would not be the same without the reigning Miss Universe and this year’s candidates. Who wore your favorite look?
It’s true what Chavit said that it would be glamorous. Now we wonder how the Miss Universe pageant will be.
