Emma Tiglao owns the stage in Miss Grand International 2025 prelims

Emma Tiglao was shining like she's born to be at the Miss Grand International 2025 preliminaries!

On Wednesday, the Filipina beauty queen oozed with confidence during the swimsuit and evening gown competitions.

Emma was aura farming in her green swimsuit, slaying everything from her smile, her hair tosses, her gestures, and her pasarela.

In the evening gown portion, she wore a striking red piece with a plunging neckline and structured panels that accentuate the shoulder. The bodice was embellished with red and gold crystals and sequins.

The gown also had a sheer drape at the waist that Emma spread out for a cape-like effect.

Previously in the national costume competition, Emma wore an ensemble designed by Patrick Isorena inspired by Mayari, the Kapampangan goddess of the moon. 

A total of 77 candidates are vying for the Miss Grand International 2025 title. Reigning queen CJ Opiaza of the Philippines will crown her successor at the finals on Saturday. —MGP, GMA Integrated News
