MANILA, Philippines — Newly named Miss Supranational 2023 1st runner-up Pauline Amelincx owned the stage as she glided with a matchy red parasol and fiery red Terno at the coronation night held in Poland.
The Filipiniana-Belgian beauty queen looked every inch the Filipino queen in an Ehrran Montoya Filipinana.
Montoya described his custom creation as a modern take on the classic Filipiniana.
"This custom Red Filipiñana is created in a classic silhouette. Following the traditional draping and 70's sophisticated butterfly sleeves. A voluminous cascading train is attached to epitomized the daintiness of a Filipina. Adorned with intricate embroidery details with bead works. Paired with a traditional umbrella decorated with sparkly 'Okir' patterns.
