The pink carpet was rolled out and set ablaze!

Prior to arriving in Los Angeles, California, Catriona Gray teased fans with angelic portraits on her socials. Draped in a body-hugging pink suit, Miss Universe 2018 stunned everyone with her ethereal look. Accentuated by platinum blonde hair, gray contact lenses, feathery brushed-up brows, and wispy lashes, she took her signature glamour to an entirely new level.

At the actual event, Catriona traded that look for a romantic ensemble. With celebrity makeup artist Jelly Eugenio and hairstylist Paul Nebres behind the glam, she served sultry elegance—seamlessly marrying pageant polish with classic VS bombshell energy through voluminous, textured waves. Every tone was deliberate: soft blush swept high across her upper contours, translucent pink shimmer danced across the lids, and fluttery lashes made her gaze pop.

Christina Nadin

Joining Catriona was Filipino-Irish model Christina Nadin, who made history as the second Filipina to walk the Victoria’s Secret runway following Kelsey Merritt’s debut in 2018. Proudly representing the Philippines, Christina glowed with pastel-pink glitter across her lids, seamless golden skin, feathered brows, and a soft pink lip gloss. Her look celebrated her roots: bouncy, dark brown curls that flowed effortlessly as she strutted down the runway.
