Miss Universe Philippines 2020 National Costume Competition Photos
MANILA, Philippines – Miss Universe 2020 candidates showcased their national costumes earlier at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
The Miss Universe national costume competition was also aired live on the Miss Universe YouTube channel at 20:00 ET (Friday at 02:00 SAST).
You can also vote for your favorite costume at missuniverse.com/vote. Voting opens on Thursday and closes at 23:59 ET on Saturday.
During the recently concluded parade of national costumes, Rabiya looked like Victoria’s Secret angel wearing a beautiful feather that showcased the Philippine National Flag, Red, Blue, and Yellow color.
In one of her online interviews, She admitted that wearing the national costume was extra challenging for her since the runway for the contest is long, but she assured the fans that she would do her best.
The masterpiece was created by the late Filipino designer Rocky Gathercole while Bulacan-based jeweler Manny Halasan designed the headpiece and other accessories.
Here are some of the reactions from Netizens:
The National Costume looks very disappointing. It’s not what we expect. Not so impressive. Tooo Bad! Bawi na lang sa Evening Gown.

not being biased but the shades of blue and red are very deep, luscious and striking! the height and angle of the wings are very sexy and stood tall and powerful without being to be extravagant! lovette #AribaRabiya #MissUniverse pic.twitter.com/0Jnh0FWEhE
