MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – Miss Universe Philippines 2016 Maxine Medina shone at the pageant’s preliminary rounds on Thursday, January 26, and impressed fans with her glimmering national costume after.
On Instagram the following day, Maxine posted a photo of herself at the presentation, saying: “I felt like a royalty when I walked in my national costume last night. The inspiration behind this creation include the colorful Muslim vinta, the corals, and the South Sea pearls of Mindanao.”
Maxine’s costume was by Rhett Eala, who told ABS-CBN that its headdress and earrings cost more than P1 million, because of its South Sea pearls from Jewelmer.
Rhett also designed Maxine’s evening gown for the pageant.
