Celeste Cortesi channels Philippines' iconic superhero for Miss Universe national costume competition


Celeste Cortesi is repping the Philippines hard!

During Miss Universe 2022's National Costume Competition, the Filipina beauty queen wore a Darna-inspired national costume, in reference to the Philippines' fictional superhero Darna, based on Mars Ravelo's comic series.

Celeste walked down the runway like a real-life superhero in a fiery red Darna outfit, which showed off her tight abs and toned legs.

During swimsuit prelims, Celeste strutted down the catwalk in a hot pink bikini featuring a symbolic white cape with hand prints, highlighting her experience in "visiting the youth and their families during the Save the Children Philippines outreach in Marawi."

Meanwhile, the Philippine bet looked every inch celestial in a sky-blue gown by Oliver Tolentino, inspired by a poem written by Celeste's dad for her, during the long gown portion.

The 71st Miss Universe grand coronation night is set on January 14 at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center in Louisiana.
