Pilot beauty queen Nelda Ibe blooms in Sampaguita-inspired national costume for Miss Globe

Pilot beauty queen Nelda Ibe was decked out in a Sampaguita-inspired national costume for Miss Globe.

Nelda was clad in a white and grass green mermaid Filipiniana gown, a masterpiece designed by Fredrick Berches.

"National costume is a NATIONAL IDENTITY. It reflects the country, it's culture, tradition and heritage," Nelda wrote in the caption, sharing a photo of her national costume.

 

National costume is a NATIONAL IDENTITY. It reflects the country, it's culture, tradition and heritage. I am wearing another proud masterpiece by Frederick Berches @frederickberches for Miss Globe 2017. One interesting fact about the host country and home of Miss Globe which is Albania. IT HAS LOADS OF FLOWERS. ????????????????????????????????Albania boasts more than 3,250 species of plants, which accounts for 30 percent of all flora in Europe. And that being said, I am happy to say that the Philippines National Flower, Sampaguita was the very inspiration of my costume. #culture #diversity #history #missglobe #themissglobe #pilot #pilotlife #pilotbeautyqueen #deliartassociation #albania #visitalbania

She also explained the inspiration behind her blooming costume which has something to do with the host country Albania's richness in flowers and Philippines' national flower:
