40 Binibining Pilipinas candidates showcased the creative creations of local designers at the National Costume Competition, held at the New Frontier Theater. The top 5 Best Costume winners were announced at the end of the show, including representatives from Oriental Mindoro, Quezon Province, Kalayaan, Laguna, Cavite, and Abra.
Each candidate’s costume was inspired by their hometown, with designs reflecting the rich heritage of their provinces. The competition was a display of culture and tradition, as the candidates brought to life the essence of their respective regions through their intricate costumes.
The Grand Parade of Beauties is set to take place at the Araneta City, with the Grand Coronation scheduled for July 7 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Former Binibini queens Catriona Gray, Nicole Cordoves, MJ Lastimosa, and Kylie Versoza will host the event, with performances by Martin Nievera, Gary Valenciano, and SB19.
The new titleholders will receive generous cash prizes, with the current Bb. Pilipinas International and Bb. Pilipinas Globe queens passing on their crowns to their successors. As the competition heats up, candidates have shared their plans for the prize money, ranging from investments to funding their international pageant journey and supporting charitable causes.
