Lucky teen bags Miss Bulgaria’s evening gown

Every girl wants to feel like a princess on her prom night, but one Filipina will be more than that: she'll be a beauty queen.

A 15-year-old student is now the proud owner of a Sherri Hill dress previously owned by Miss Bulgaria 2016 Violina Ancheva during the 65th Miss Universe competition.

Ancheva earlier called on Filipinos in need of a prom gown to write her a personal message. She planned on giving her Miss Universe evening gown as a present.

How she chose whom to give the dress is a mystery for now, but she kept to her promise and passed the gown to its new owner: the daughter of single mom Issay Gallano.

In her social media accounts, Gallano posted photos of her daughter in the two-piece blue gown that Ancheva wore during the 65th Miss Universe pageant, which was held at the Mall of Asia Arena on Monday.

"Thank you so much Miss Bulgaria. You have a beautiful heart. We wish you all the best. God bless you and your family," she captioned.

She was also able to take a selfie with Ancheva during her meeting with her at Conrad Hotel, Pasay.

Ancheva may not have won the Miss Universe crown, but she has won hearts with her generous gesture—just like her compatriot did last year. — Jessica Bartolome/BM, GMA News
