Miss World Philippines Gwendolyne Fourniol has all eyes on her thanks to her national costume.
Miss World Philippines Gwendolyne Fourniol is making sure all eyes are on her early on in the Miss World pageant as she attends the pageant's opening ceremonies wearing an eye-catching national costume.
In one of the more recent posts on her Instagram account, Gwendolyne shared several photos of her wearing what she described as a national costume that represents the “Filipina's craft spirit of dignity, growth, and joy.” According to Gwendolyne, the costume was hand-embroidered with embellishments that were inspired by authentic Ilonggo textiles.
Gwendolyne also noted that the costume also pays homage to current Miss World pageant host country, India, by incorporating the country's traditional “Ikat” print using glass beads, sequins, and Swarovski crystals.
It was just yesterday that Gwendolyne posted on Instagram about meeting fellow Miss World delegates Yoon theint theint nway of Myanmar, Audrey Vanessa from Indonesia, Priyanka Rani Joshi from Nepal, and Tomiris Kakimova from Kazakhstan.
In the caption to the post, Gwendolyne shared that she just had “an incredible dinner” with her Miss World “sisters”. She also thanked the Miss World organization for its “warm hospitality.”
Gwendolyne left for India two days ago (Philippine time) and upon arriving at the Indira Gandhi International Airport expressed her eagerness to meet the rest of the “incredible” Miss World “sisterhood”.
There is now a little over two weeks before the Miss World finals to be held on March 9, 2024 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, India and pageant fans have been treated to lots of new Miss World content from Gwendolyne. Before her departure to India, she announced the debut of her Miss World introduction video on her Instagram account.
It was also on Instagram where Gwendolyne announced the release of her official headshot, writing in the captions that there was only a week left before she starts her Miss World pageant journey.
Gwendolyne has spent more than a year holding the title of Miss World Philippines, having won the crown in June 2022. She was set to compete in the Miss World pageant back in December 16, 2023 when it was first scheduled at the ICC Delhi India, but the finals were moved due to elections that were happening in India at the time.
