Beauty queen-turned-peace advocate Margie Moran travels back to 1973 as the newly-crowned Miss Universe. The Filipina beauty was being interviewed by the press just after her crowning moment.

The throwback photo in black and white got some love from Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, Miss Universe Philippines 2018 Catriona Gray, and from fans of the organization. As of writing, it has more than 46k likes. 

Similarly, the former beauty titlist also posted an old photo during her reign in the United States wherein Miss Universe Philippines 1947 Guada Sanchez (now Mrs. McLauchlan) was photoboming her portrait.

 

Margarita was the second Filipina to be crowned in the prestigious international pageant after Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz.
