Philippine bet, Chelsea Manalo, narrowly missed securing a spot in the Top 12 during the Miss Universe 2024 coronation night in Mexico City on Sunday, Nov. 17 (Philippine time), concluding her journey in the Top 30.
The beauty queens who advanced to the Top 12 include Bolivia, Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Nigeria, Russia, Chile, Thailand, Denmark, Canada, and Peru.
Before the Top 12 announcement, Chelsea earned her place in the Top 30, where she showcased her signature “Tampisaw Walk” during the swimsuit competition.
In the preliminary round, Chelsea captured attention on social media by wearing a blue Cinderella-inspired gown designed by Manny Halasan. She also paid homage to the country’s religions through her national costume, “Hiraya.”
Chelsea vied to bring home the Philippines’ fifth Miss Universe crown. The 73rd edition of Miss Universe featured the “Lumière de l’Infini” (Light of Infinity) crown, handcrafted by Filipino artisans.
