“Ang design concept na ito ay inspired sa damit na sinuot niya [Catriona Gray] nung nanalo siya sa Miss Universe, na kung saan yung lava ay kinopya namin yung texture.

“Then, in-exaggerate na lang namin gamit ang textured fibre glass and then, in-airbrush namin. Hand-made po ito.”

The 9 by 30 feet float will feature not only the lava-inspired gown, but also the Mikimoto crown and the Peacock dress she worn during the preliminary round.


The homecoming parade for the current Miss Universe will start at 2:00 p.m. from Sofitel Philippines and will pass through the streets of Pasay, Manila, and Makati.
