Joy Barcoma glows as Mother Earth in latest photoshoot ahead of Miss Earth 2025 pageant

Joy Barcoma is truly giving her A-game at the Miss Earth 2025 pageant!

On Instagram Tuesday, the Filipina beauty queen shared some snaps of herself in her recent photoshoot ahead of the pageant. 

In the photos, Joy wore a high-neck outfit in gold and bronze hues, embellished with rhinestones and intricate beadwork that gave it a shimmering, almost liquid-metal look. She posed gracefully against a mossy, green, and earthy backdrop.

“Mother Earth. The crown may shine, but the real light comes from serving Mother Earth,” she wrote in the caption.

“Tomorrow, I step on that stage not just as a woman but as her daughter, ready to speak her truth,” Joy added. 

Earlier, in Missosology’s final hot picks for the pageant, the beauty queen from Cavite was predicted to win Miss Earth-Air, or the 1st Runner-Up.

Joy has been making waves online with her humorous posts during her pageant journey.

She also amused netizens with her witty Miss Earth introduction video with the hashtag #JoyToTheEarth.

The Cavite beauty previously took home the gold medal for Best in Terno for Asia & Oceania at the Media Moments and Terno Competition of Miss Earth 2025.

She also wowed in her national costume made of recycled materials.

Joy was crowned Miss Philippines Earth 2025 in August.

She is set to wear the Philippine sash at Miss Earth 2025 at the coronation tonight, November 5.
