The release of Manalo’s official headshot for the 74th Miss Universe pageant thrilled not only her fans but also her fellow beauty queens, such as Miss Universe Philippines 2025 first runner-up Winwyn Marquez and Miss Supranational Philippines 2026 Katrina Llegado.

Before this, Manalo shared a series of her photos looking regal in an asymmetrical golden dress made by Filipino fashion designer Job Dacon.
“Let’s start with this,” said the beauty queen.
Manalo earned her ticket to the 74th Miss Universe competition after winning the coveted Miss Universe Philippines crown in her third attempt, representing Quezon Province.
In an exclusive interview with republicasia, she made a promise to the Philippines “the best fight ever” in the highly anticipated beauty pageant.
Manalo will vie for the country’s fifth Miss Universe crown in the pageant’s 2025 edition, which will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, on November 21.
