The national costume, inspired by the Philippine Eagle, was created by Cary Santiago, who also did the evening gowns of Gazini for Binibining Pilipinas and the Miss Universe competition.
This is the second time that the Philippines won the award. The first was in 1994 when Charlene Gonzales wore a Bogobo-inspired costume designed by the late Pitoy Moreno.
Gazini ended her Miss Universe journey with a Top 20 placement.– Rappler.com
