We all know all of her costume are beautiful. But take a moment to kudos to the green dress. As Thai myself, that was really really smart beginning and smart move. My soul was snatched by that dress and most of the Thai fans were crazy about it. Not only it's beautiful. But it is reflected that she did her homework, well thought out. Totally got my heart since day one.
The dress resembled Thai's traditional dress called สไบ (breast cloth). And that golden belt, actually it is the normal accessory that most of Thai women own (my grandma had many of them lol) But it compliment that green dress and Cat herself very well.
She won not only because of her beauty and brains, but also because she was the most prepared and organized. Every moment, outfit, hair, makeup look, even the accessories, were well-thought of and well-executed. She was involved in every step of the way and planned everything beforehand. Really the gold standard for every Miss Universe 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well, she should be the most prepared among our pinay beauty queens. She was top 5 in the Ms. World pageant and that was not an easy feat. She learned more after that competition.
Oh my god, she thought for every look and researched so much, so so much. Special apploaud for the research, she even researched about the colour of the places and then decided the dress. Omg, she took the standard so so high. I'm just amazed by her.
She didn't compete to MU just for experience, she straight up went for the crown. She knows that from the moment she landed in Thailand that she's already in the competition, every schedule have to be considered, and everything she'll be doing from then is important to win the crown, not just the prelimaries and finals night.
The fact that she does her research about the place prior in order to coordinate and choose her outfit for every occasion is really a great embodiment of her personality. Not to mention the touches of home in every look like a bag that's made locally in the Philippines jz tells us how detailed, organized and well prepared she is given in any event, not jz the main competition. She represented Philippines, above and beyond. Well done Cat! Nice to know the behind the scenes of your Ms Universe 2018 journey. You're very disciplined and a really good role model to look up to. You're probably the best Ms Universe winner by far. Kudos to you and ur team ♡ Stay safe :)
She's independent not rely on MU Philippines. She has a group that coordinated with her while Rabiya dependent to MU Philippines. Rabiya don't have such money and people like Cat had.
It's a good decision that Cat decide to have her own team, to pick each member of her team and let her lead on the plans and be the visionary. Preparation realness!!!! 💕👏👏
What I like about Catriona is that she never forgot her team, she shared the spotlight with them. What a queen she is. Till today, they are still with her, rising to the top with her.
Catriona set the bar really high not just for Miss Universe but for all future contestants all over the world. She became like a formula for everyone else to follow. From wardrobe preparations to speaking skills & personality development. I don’t mind if she will be the last MU of our country. If we can’t find another one as eloquent, smart & total package as her, I’m fine in not winning at all because Catriona will always be embeded on my mind as a point of comparison.
Unmatched. Style, creativity, poise, eloquence, wit. Hindi pa naipapanganak ang papantay o hihigit sa galing ni Cat sa larangan ng Filipino pageantry, or maybe even the global pageantry.
The best thing about Catriona's journey is that she knows what she wants and put that vision into reality. She did not allow others' views bother her knowing that pageants fans would always have something to say.
Will NEVER get tired of saying, that she went to Thailand JUST to claim the crown! The planning and preparation that went to her journey is proof of how deserving she truly was! Kudos to her, and her ENTIRE team! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
And this why its important to have a solid team with their own identity and style! Cat was literally a team effort and the whole country rallied for her!! It’s 2021 and I can still feel her impact!
Before Cat, no other contestant/team, has exerted that much attention, and effort in promoting their contestant. Think of all the pre-competition videos she made, the music she created, all the charity works, even her outfits are relevant to her representing the Philippines in the Miss Universe pageant. If she didn’t win, luto na talaga. Career na career si ateng! I think if she can create her own beauty house, she will be a great coach for future beauty queens on how to be completely prepared for the competitions.
Iba na kc humawak kay rabiya kaya hindi rin sya pwede basta basta magbigay ng ng opinion. Baka ma offed nya yong team nito at mga designers. At si gaffud may kunting something ata sa kanila ni Cat. He will never allowed Cat to say so.
Seriously Catriona, YOU SHOULD BE A CONSULTANT TO THE MISS UNIVERSE PH ORGANIZATION. Your passion for arts, culture and almost all aspects of pageantry is just outpouring. You’re not just beauty and brains but you also have a big big heart. The Best Universe ever!
Catriona is the gold standard of Miss Universe, I’ve never seen such candidate like her! She is just the legendary in history! She’s the Queen of the Universe! 👑 No wonder everyone is imitating or copying her.
I hope cat considers being one of the head mentors of our candidates, she’s smart, adaptable, passionate and generous. I bet she will not hesitate to share her knowledge and skills to other aspiring queens
Unparalleled. Style, creativity, poise, eloquence, wit. She’s an international standard. Hindi pa naipapanganak ang papantay o hihigit sa galing ni Cat sa larangan ng Filipino pageantry, or perhaps even the global pageantry.
Catriona is just so eloquent! You are just drawn to her everytime she opens her mouth. She is truly exceptional and one of the best Ms Universe in recent years
I'm from Thailand, and I went to see you in the arena in the final round too, back in 2018. I loved all the queens, but I have to say that you truly won everyone's heart, inside and outside the arena alike. I'm so proud that my home country Thailand got to host MU that year because it's the year that YOU won. Somehow, apart from our past MU winners and contestants, I think many Thais reckon you as one of our sweethearts, too. Maybe it's because of the fact that apart from representing your home country and the PH culture so beautifully, you also presented Thailand and Thai culture (like Thai Waii) so gracefully to the whole world, too. And we were all so grateful for that. I hope you come back to visit Thailand again when the COVID-19 situation is gone. Much love, my Queen Cat.
She really set a very high standards when it comes to being a Miss Universe. She knows not just about the A-to-Z of the game but also the 1-to-gazillion reasons on how to introduce who she is and what she represents. A very very very smart and intelligent move! She was prepared for Miss Universe and that made her standout!
Her predecessors have big shoes to fill. She elevated the Miss Philippines title. Her high-slit gown is still in. Her slowmo turn is iconic. Catriona’s win cemented out status as Powerhouse.
The most prepared Miss Universe candidate ever in history. Everything was well polished and on point ♥️ And I would agree, many candidates (future or current) are looking and getting some inspiration from her
not just prepared but most artistic, articulate, patriotic, visionary, passionate and perfectionists. You can prepare all you want but if you have no plan, no vision. Nothing comes out of it.
The green outfit she wore when she got into thailand, was the 1st time i saw her in this m.u. Journey and really felt how strong her presence was even if you’re just watching her from the tv. It’s like you’d feel her aura. 😌 plus good speaking skills, you’d feel the sincerity whenever she answers the questions. She’s really really good. She really deserves the 👑❤️
The team behind all of this is really recognized. They are all amazing. Cat did her homework and she really made sure that she represents the Philippines on any angle. Our future and aspiring candidates must see this so they get to be empowered and inspired by this productive planning. Super galing! No wonder youre Miss U. From the beginning palang, sayo na talaga ang korona ❤️
Cat, I'm just astounded by how thoughtful you are about your outfits and how you carry and represent the Philippines. You're an awesome ambassador for the country, not only in the way you outwardly present yourself but in your kindness and demeanor.
I love how brave you are in sharing your favorite national costume, knowing the biases of many Filipinos, equating your words to something else even when you are only expressing your personal choices and it does not necessarily mean not being supportive of our candidate. I voted for her (MUP2020) just to show support even if I am not so convinced with the performance. You are a Queen in every way talaga..na stuck up na ako sa MU2018.
I love Rabiya but let’s be honest her national costume sucks. The stars looked like a bad DIY. Rabiya actually made it look better than what it is. The costume didn’t really tell much of what we are as a filipino. If the costume has a deeper meaning, it completely flew over my head.
True.. Setting a very high standards for the next PH representative.. After watching thd 2021 prelims, i watch the 2018 prelims again.. And thats when you'll know the difference.. CAT is really slaying the game then.. 😻
True. I'm sure a lot of co-Filipinos out there also had their favorite and we had to be honest that Rabiya's natl costume is really a bit off but we're not denying the fact that she still pulled it off.
She's very hands on to every detail of the pageant. This is the true dedication. Not about how prestige the designers are or how costly your gowns as long as you do feel the PRIDE while wearing the dress.. Its so nice of CAT to always think of how she can still take pride of PH even in a small detail.. I'M A FAN!! And you're my forever Ms. U 😘
Cat shared this detail after her reign just shows how classy and elegant she is. She deserves all the recognition and not mention she sets the bar too high! Proud of you for representing our country! The truest embodiment of a beauty queen💛
All her wardrobes are well-thought of. Grabe! Biruin mo nagreresearch pa siya sa places na pupuntahan nila next is very smart! then saka niya babagayan ng wardrobe colors and styles. Ang galing!
The thing that I like as I watched one of her interviews before is when she says "to develop a mental fortitude" pertaining to dealing with criticism or bashing. Kaya the art of deadmatology ay ginawa niya. I lava you Queen Cat, always and forever. ❤️
Pia and Cat have different strategies during their respectives competitions. Pia's strategy was knowing when to peak, when to standout, as what was mentored to her: madaling mapagod kapag naka peak ka palagi. While Cat, she's always on peak by taking advantage every single minor/major events leading to the pageants. Both women used their strengths so well💖
@@amosherrera9911 Agreed, that was on the audiences' point of view. But on the Queens' POV, it was their strategies that they really did during the competition. Pia and Cat said it themselves.
Catriona is a sure win while Pia is a surprise win. Nevertheless, they made us all proud. Looking forward for more Miss Universes from the Philippines.
Parang mas gusto ko style ni Catriona. Kasi why would you give all at the later part if you can do it all the way from the start. The chances of getting noticed and taken note by judges might from the beginning. Mas may chance to present well yourself than just a wallflower.
@@steshka1015 Back in Pia's time kasi, sobrang baba ng chances niya noon. Mas madaming maiingay na names bago pa sila nagkasama sama sa US with the other contestants. Colombia, Belgium, USA, Domican Republic to name a few. Minsan na rin sinabi ni Pia na tinatabihan pa niya yung mga kilalang contestants tuwing mga events prior sa MU para mapag aralan kung bat ganun kaingay ung names nila sa crowd. Dark horse kumbaga. Kaya marami rin sinasabi na suprise winner siya. Compared to Cat, na Binibinibing Pilipinas palang, sureball win na.
when rabiya did not make it to win, i decided to search for Catriona to watch her miss universe journey all over again. How i wish they’ll be another Catriona to represent the Philippines. You are the best Miss Universe 🇵🇭
I like it when before the pageant you were just so silent about your preparations, and when you finally came out twas like boom!! you really prepared for it.. your win is not by Luck... you really worked hard for it. . I salute you for that..
Good thing that she has a dedicated personal team. You wouldn't expect Binibining Pilipinas to be as this thorough to our candidates. Cat is exceptional already but the incredible filipino talents showing culture-based art through fashion is a source of inspiration. I wish more success to our pinoy artisans. Thank you for enhancing the beauty of our country & the people. Pinoy Power! 🇵🇭
See, this is how her over all performance is so iconic. I bet no other candidate ever researched and even thought of color coordinating wih their surroudings.
@@karenjones9215 Most countries took notes from Catriona's performance as you will notice in MU 2019, a lot of countries stepped up. You can see by the way they speak, the way the incorporate their advocacies, to the gowns that they wore. I already Thais and some other pageant contestants even mimicking Cat's walk
She is the epitome of elegance. She also did her research, as well as giving homage to Thailand and The Philippines. She is such a beautiful natural. So proud of her and Pia was also one of the most elegant, Miss Universe. Two beautiful, intelligent and deserving of the title.
Every single piece was well thought of. There was always a touch of Filipino. The kind of wardrobe every Miss Philippines should have. Catriona, more than presenting herself, has always showcased a true Filipina.
Hands down queen. With all what you said. You won because you were that contestant that is quite meticulous,prepared and powered by that extra special ingenuity in you. God bless and you're always loved.
Nobody could really rob the crown from you back then. You were really well-prepared and every move was calculated and the whole Philippines is very thankful to you for bringing such pride to our country. You will forever be the best Miss Universe.
I love the way you always consider our country’s pride. Wearing those outfits in dress or accessories creates a mindset that we have a very unique and wealthy culture. Thank you for showcasing our culture anywhere you go. God bless you Ms. Catriona!
*Cat was right about Rabiya's natcos though she really didn't say anything about it. As one of the smartest MU ever, she knows what is a well-thought winning piece. She was right all along and I love her even more for somehow expressing it. Designers should take this as a constructive criticism and learn from it moving forward.* ❤️
@@mightymight24 She didn't said anything, She just didn't include Miss Philippines in her top 6 Natcos which is i agree, Rabiya's natcos was not the best. But she didn't said anything bad to Rabiya
@@certifiedlovergirl9983 Ahhh okay po. Sana itake na lang po nila as constructive criticsm yun. Kasi I'm on Rabiya's side din pero di ko din masyadong gusto yung natcos niya. And Cat has the knowledge and experience so she knows well ano yung maganda. Sobrang butthurt lang siguro talaga ng mga supporters ni Rabiya.
It feels like MU2018 just happened yesterday🥺 Time flies really fast. I’ll never get tired watching you again and again queen!🥺❤️ You’ll always have our love and support. Our best miss universe!❤️🤗
It's so nice to get these pictures and the stories first hand, I can only imagine how happy excited and also anxious you were representing a whole country. You are the true embodiment of a confident beautiful woman, and hand's down my best Miss Universe of all time. Thanks so much for sharing your story 👏🏼 Sending love from Nigeria.
Di mo akalain na ang mga tela ng Pinas mula sa mga indigenous materials maybibigay ng classy at makisabayan sa produkto sa buong mundo. galing Ms. Cat.
Agree!hoping that president na kung sino yung team na naging isa sa dahilan na pagkapanakalo ng pilipina sa MISS U ay Dpat xila den ang kunin to train para mas masustain....
She captained her own ship, and got people who complimented her own ideas/vision, instead of "relying" on the team to decide for her. If Cat would be the director of MU then chances of back-to-back winnings will drastically increase. She clearly knew how to play the pageant game.
Her outfits are well managed from day 1 to end. From the stories behind it, the accessories. She nailed everyhing, she was destined to be our queen periodt 🙃
She's so detailed! She planned it ahead before the competition to avoid any accidents. And her team is remarkable! Don't waste their talents, make them the official team of MUPh! Everything's in your journey is so perfect. You're prepared. You hav ethe best team. You tag the Philippines along with you! It's not only the sash that makes them recognize you're a Filipino delegate but also your waedrobe. I love how detailed you are! You researched before and do everything to stand out. What a standard. I hope all our candidates will learn from you.
YOU REALLY ARE AN EMBODIMENT OF A TRUE MISS UNIVERSE QUEEN!! We loved all the outfits. Thank you for showcasing the wonderful dresses made by our talented Filipino designers! ♥
You really made Filipino representation very appropriate with a sense of pride. All your well thought of efforts showed us how very intelligent and grounded you are as a Filipino with knowledge and meaning of our culture, heritage, and art. Congrats, you are the best Miss Universe! You are the best Miss Philippines!
Positive vibes pouring out from your aura. Grabe ang dating mo, elegant, confident pero napaka sweet tingnan. Comfortable ka and parang ang dali mong iapproach kahit mukha kang Barbie doll, parang walang sumisira ng araw mo. And yung dedication, determination, at drive mo to bring home the crown eh kitang kita. Para kang business o career woman na diyosa at hindi beauty queen na walang essence.
Catriona is so fashionable. She is the one choosing her outfits for each day so she can feel powerful with her outfit and I really love that because as she said if you are uncomfortable in your outfit then it will affect your performance and how you act. She did a good job for choosing her outfits by herself and not relying on her designers or team to choose for her outfits.
She had folders to show which outfits were where? What a organize person, who thinks of this? I bet no other contestants ever thought of this. Catriona is brilliant.
Now I see why you look so effortless on Miss Universe 2018... You made so much effort behind the scene! I love how you went the extra mile to research on the place to exude colors of your dress. Very well thought of! Wow!
Catriona was truly a winner she wasnt just representing the country philippines but also the country where she is going to with . Every story she told there is always a knowledged for her to share the background .
A captain of her own ship. From day 1 she captured to the hearts of locals in Thai. All the concept of her game really made her win. She came way prepared. Its true that she had set the bar so high.
Walang duda kaya whole package sya ..super hands on sa lahat . Kse napakaimportante tlga na sa mga visit ng miss u sa lahat ng pupuntahan maging angat ka kahit sa damit lang na mapansin ba . Kase malaking puntos un .. kaya si queen cat super taas ng standard na iniwan nya sa u na hanggang ngyon d pa dn tyo maka move on sa pagkpanalo nya
Catriona really did a huge impact for the beauty candidates. It's been three Years and still the people being inspired with her. Forever a QUEEN indeed.
Her walk Her gown Very brainy Very classy Very natural all natural pati face wala pinaretoke wal pinadagdag sa katawan kundi work out lang talaga ginaw nia..nakakabilib ang queen na to very very rare...iconic ika nga...have a long long life our queen catriona grey.....you desrve happiness in life.
Watching this made me convinced that she was not just destined to win but she prepared and executed her preparations in order to win. I feel in any competition one must just do his or her assignments in order to understand his or her competition in order to stand out every step of the way. Likewise, the budget and preparations must not be left from supporters or organizers but more importantly the role also of the candidate to ensure there that things will be carried out well and according to plan. Winning in a pageant is about impression thus you have to create that impression that you prepared to win and that every moment is must be a statement of hey look at me I am a winner. Wear it feel it say it and be it the winner that you are in a competition such as a beauty pageant. This is a business so invest and invest to win. Congrats Ms. Grey.
I superrr love Ms Catriona Gray. She is really my favorite Ms Universe winner 😊. For me, she is a representation of beauty, elegance, character, standard, purpose. She won back 2018 but her fame is still felt, her advocacy, purpose is still on the run. She is Ms universe. Her mind and heart is brilliant. God bless you queen 😊😊😊
This explains why she had the crown in the bag. She had a clear vision of what to do and what she wants. She was part of every little detail and decisions about her journey and that's impressive.
You're so organized & beautiful 😍 You're really our Miss Universe ❤

Everyone don't have this privilege 😅 but her choice is remarkable ❤️❤️❤️
I wish all pageants are given this choice, then they all would be able to represent their country, views, perspectives, personality more openly.
Catriona set the bar really high not just for Miss Universe but for all future contestants all over the world. She became like a formula for everyone else to follow. From wardrobe preparations to speaking skills & personality development. I don’t mind if she will be the last MU of our country. If we can’t find another one as eloquent, smart & total package as her, I’m fine in not winning at all because Catriona will always be embeded on my mind as a point of comparison.
This^👏👏👏
This hits so different now 🥹❤️
Yesssss
The most prepared contestant.
To crown her is just a formality.
When she speaks, she knows what is she talking about. A dreamer, spokeperson and visionary. Thats why i called her the Queen of all queens.
Unmatched. Style, creativity, poise, eloquence, wit. Hindi pa naipapanganak ang papantay o hihigit sa galing ni Cat sa larangan ng Filipino pageantry, or maybe even the global pageantry.
Indeed
napanganak na po.. andito lang! charrr hahaha 🤣
Napanganak na po...andito na si bong rabillaaa! 🤣
Catriona as the future National Director for Miss Universe Philippines 🙌
YESSS!!!
Ipatrend sa twitter!
Sana nga! 😍
siguro pag nangyari yan kakabahan mga other national directors and their candidates from other countries..hehehe
I hope so ill pray for that
10-20 years from now we will still talk about Catriona and her journey towards becoming one of the best Miss Universe.
The best thing about Catriona's journey is that she knows what she wants and put that vision into reality. She did not allow others' views bother her knowing that pageants fans would always have something to say.
Totally agree!
She is full of creativity and class.
true she is focus to her self and the competitions. big impact why she won 😊
she already know from her experiences that she needs her own personal style,that no other can overthrow from competing, a clear standout
Will NEVER get tired of saying, that she went to Thailand JUST to claim the crown! The planning and preparation that went to her journey is proof of how deserving she truly was! Kudos to her, and her ENTIRE team! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
I agreed
And this why its important to have a solid team with their own identity and style! Cat was literally a team effort and the whole country rallied for her!! It’s 2021 and I can still feel her impact!
Before Cat, no other contestant/team, has exerted that much attention, and effort in promoting their contestant. Think of all the pre-competition videos she made, the music she created, all the charity works, even her outfits are relevant to her representing the Philippines in the Miss Universe pageant. If she didn’t win, luto na talaga. Career na career si ateng! I think if she can create her own beauty house, she will be a great coach for future beauty queens on how to be completely prepared for the competitions.
Iba na kc humawak kay rabiya kaya hindi rin sya pwede basta basta magbigay ng ng opinion. Baka ma offed nya yong team nito at mga designers. At si gaffud may kunting something ata sa kanila ni Cat. He will never allowed Cat to say so.
💯 agree!
Seriously Catriona, YOU SHOULD BE A CONSULTANT TO THE MISS UNIVERSE PH ORGANIZATION. Your passion for arts, culture and almost all aspects of pageantry is just outpouring. You’re not just beauty and brains but you also have a big big heart. The Best Universe ever!
True! She is really the best
Habang na kay Jonas ang MUPH, impossible mangyari ‘yan I think.
@@paulsalvador7256 bakit po?
@@mikaela2833 Di sila friends 😅 Jonas and his team dislike Catriona
@@johna.s.5862 Whaaaat? Bakit?
she's very strategic. She really came to Miss Universe to win
Catriona is the gold standard of Miss Universe, I’ve never seen such candidate like her! She is just the legendary in history! She’s the Queen of the Universe! 👑
No wonder everyone is imitating or copying her.
SHE'S SO INTO EVERY DETAIL OF HER MS UNIVERSE JOURNEY WOW
Cat’s team should be the official glam team of all our Miss U candidates moving forward
I hope cat considers being one of the head mentors of our candidates, she’s smart, adaptable, passionate and generous. I bet she will not hesitate to share her knowledge and skills to other aspiring queens
She’s honestly the most STRONGEST contestant in MU there ever was. ❤️
Most na strongest pa
@@tacoyaki4398 🤣🤣🤣🤣stop hahaha. I can’t
No doubt!
@@tacoyaki4398 My goodness. Same thought. 🤣🤣🤣
@@tacoyaki4398 baklang to perfect ka?
WE CAN'T DENY THE FACT THAT " CATRIONA" IS THE STANDARD.👑💖
*GOLD STANDARD*
Cat and Pia~😍
Unparalleled. Style, creativity, poise, eloquence, wit. She’s an international standard. Hindi pa naipapanganak ang papantay o hihigit sa galing ni Cat sa larangan ng Filipino pageantry, or perhaps even the global pageantry.
@@froeloe true CATRIONA IS THE BEST MISS UNIVERSE EVER LIKE VICE GANDA SAID😍❤❤
@@annyettie7605 sorry, but realtalk. It's Cat only. The standard!
Catriona is just so eloquent! You are just drawn to her everytime she opens her mouth. She is truly exceptional and one of the best Ms Universe in recent years
Napakatalino talaga neto ni Cat! Grabe. Nakakakilabot habang nakikinig 😍
Sana ibsng beauty queene mag learn din ksy cat
Nakakakilabot as in!
Sure
its nerve wracking or nerve rocking......
I'm from Thailand, and I went to see you in the arena in the final round too, back in 2018. I loved all the queens, but I have to say that you truly won everyone's heart, inside and outside the arena alike.
I'm so proud that my home country Thailand got to host MU that year because it's the year that YOU won.
Somehow, apart from our past MU winners and contestants, I think many Thais reckon you as one of our sweethearts, too. Maybe it's because of the fact that apart from representing your home country and the PH culture so beautifully, you also presented Thailand and Thai culture (like Thai Waii) so gracefully to the whole world, too. And we were all so grateful for that.
I hope you come back to visit Thailand again when the COVID-19 situation is gone. Much love, my Queen Cat.
Your very sweet!!❤️
She really set a very high standards when it comes to being a Miss Universe. She knows not just about the A-to-Z of the game but also the 1-to-gazillion reasons on how to introduce who she is and what she represents. A very very very smart and intelligent move!
She was prepared for Miss Universe and that made her standout!
Her predecessors have big shoes to fill. She elevated the Miss Philippines title. Her high-slit gown is still in. Her slowmo turn is iconic. Catriona’s win cemented out status as Powerhouse.
You mean successors? Hehehe
@@PaulPaul-xu2dl yea, successor. 😅
The most prepared Miss Universe candidate ever in history. Everything was well polished and on point ♥️ And I would agree, many candidates (future or current) are looking and getting some inspiration from her
Tama po.
not just prepared but most artistic, articulate, patriotic, visionary, passionate and perfectionists. You can prepare all you want but if you have no plan, no vision. Nothing comes out of it.
The green outfit she wore when she got into thailand, was the 1st time i saw her in this m.u. Journey and really felt how strong her presence was even if you’re just watching her from the tv. It’s like you’d feel her aura. 😌 plus good speaking skills, you’d feel the sincerity whenever she answers the questions. She’s really really good. She really deserves the 👑❤️
The team behind all of this is really recognized. They are all amazing. Cat did her homework and she really made sure that she represents the Philippines on any angle. Our future and aspiring candidates must see this so they get to be empowered and inspired by this productive planning. Super galing! No wonder youre Miss U. From the beginning palang, sayo na talaga ang korona ❤️
Cat, I'm just astounded by how thoughtful you are about your outfits and how you carry and represent the Philippines. You're an awesome ambassador for the country, not only in the way you outwardly present yourself but in your kindness and demeanor.
I love how brave you are in sharing your favorite national costume, knowing the biases of many Filipinos, equating your words to something else even when you are only expressing your personal choices and it does not necessarily mean not being supportive of our candidate. I voted for her (MUP2020) just to show support even if I am not so convinced with the performance. You are a Queen in every way talaga..na stuck up na ako sa MU2018.
very well said, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love Rabiya but let’s be honest her national costume sucks. The stars looked like a bad DIY. Rabiya actually made it look better than what it is. The costume didn’t really tell much of what we are as a filipino. If the costume has a deeper meaning, it completely flew over my head.
True.. Setting a very high standards for the next PH representative.. After watching thd 2021 prelims, i watch the 2018 prelims again.. And thats when you'll know the difference.. CAT is really slaying the game then.. 😻
True. I'm sure a lot of co-Filipinos out there also had their favorite and we had to be honest that Rabiya's natl costume is really a bit off but we're not denying the fact that she still pulled it off.
@@annesangabriel5784 Catriona slew in her Natco? Are you kidding me?
She's very hands on to every detail of the pageant. This is the true dedication. Not about how prestige the designers are or how costly your gowns as long as you do feel the PRIDE while wearing the dress.. Its so nice of CAT to always think of how she can still take pride of PH even in a small detail.. I'M A FAN!! And you're my forever Ms. U 😘
Cat shared this detail after her reign just shows how classy and elegant she is. She deserves all the recognition and not mention she sets the bar too high! Proud of you for representing our country! The truest embodiment of a beauty queen💛
All her wardrobes are well-thought of. Grabe! Biruin mo nagreresearch pa siya sa places na pupuntahan nila next is very smart! then saka niya babagayan ng wardrobe colors and styles. Ang galing!
Catriona is a type of Queen that can compete every year and will still win.
Walang katulad talaga si Catriona.. very intelligent and have a great decision making...such a strong, beautiful and very talented queen.
The thing that I like as I watched one of her interviews before is when she says "to develop a mental fortitude" pertaining to dealing with criticism or bashing. Kaya the art of deadmatology ay ginawa niya. I lava you Queen Cat, always and forever. ❤️
♡
Pia and Cat have different strategies during their respectives competitions. Pia's strategy was knowing when to peak, when to standout, as what was mentored to her: madaling mapagod kapag naka peak ka palagi. While Cat, she's always on peak by taking advantage every single minor/major events leading to the pageants. Both women used their strengths so well💖
Let us be realistic here. One is a sure winner from the get go while the other is a surprise winner.
@@amosherrera9911 Agreed, that was on the audiences' point of view. But on the Queens' POV, it was their strategies that they really did during the competition. Pia and Cat said it themselves.
Catriona is a sure win while Pia is a surprise win. Nevertheless, they made us all proud. Looking forward for more Miss Universes from the Philippines.
Parang mas gusto ko style ni Catriona.
Kasi why would you give all at the later part if you can do it all the way from the start. The chances of getting noticed and taken note by judges might from the beginning. Mas may chance to present well yourself than just a wallflower.
@@steshka1015 Back in Pia's time kasi, sobrang baba ng chances niya noon. Mas madaming maiingay na names bago pa sila nagkasama sama sa US with the other contestants. Colombia, Belgium, USA, Domican Republic to name a few. Minsan na rin sinabi ni Pia na tinatabihan pa niya yung mga kilalang contestants tuwing mga events prior sa MU para mapag aralan kung bat ganun kaingay ung names nila sa crowd. Dark horse kumbaga. Kaya marami rin sinasabi na suprise winner siya. Compared to Cat, na Binibinibing Pilipinas palang, sureball win na.
when rabiya did not make it to win, i decided to search for Catriona to watch her miss universe journey all over again. How i wish they’ll be another Catriona to represent the Philippines. You are the best Miss Universe 🇵🇭
Same here I’m end up watching Catriona!
Catriona should be the official wardrobe advicer for miss u ph!!!!
I like it when before the pageant you were just so silent about your preparations, and when you finally came out twas like boom!! you really prepared for it.. your win is not by Luck... you really worked hard for it. . I salute you for that..
Shows that if you want something, you have to work hard for it!
Good thing that she has a dedicated personal team. You wouldn't expect Binibining Pilipinas to be as this thorough to our candidates. Cat is exceptional already but the incredible filipino talents showing culture-based art through fashion is a source of inspiration. I wish more success to our pinoy artisans. Thank you for enhancing the beauty of our country & the people. Pinoy Power! 🇵🇭
See, this is how her over all performance is so iconic. I bet no other candidate ever researched and even thought of color coordinating wih their surroudings.
I agree with you on that!
truly mindblowing!
I bet they will now after seeing this
@@karenjones9215 Most countries took notes from Catriona's performance as you will notice in MU 2019, a lot of countries stepped up. You can see by the way they speak, the way the incorporate their advocacies, to the gowns that they wore. I already Thais and some other pageant contestants even mimicking Cat's walk
She is the epitome of elegance.
She also did her research, as well as giving homage to Thailand and The Philippines.
She is such a beautiful natural.
So proud of her and Pia was also one of the most elegant, Miss Universe.
Two beautiful, intelligent and deserving of the title.
She's realy came prepared. walang palya. Kaya ang taas ng tingin ko sa Miss Universe because of her.
Catriona is one of the best Miss Universe to the point that there were two candidates (of MU2020) imitating her even after 2 years she won.
Who?

In awe! No wonder Cat didnt make us nervous all throughout the game. Lahat pinag isipan up to the smallest details. 🙌🙌🙌
Every single piece was well thought of. There was always a touch of Filipino. The kind of wardrobe every Miss Philippines should have. Catriona, more than presenting herself, has always showcased a true Filipina.
You are Philippine treasure...will never forget how we all screamed with happiness because of the honor and glory you gave us. Thank you ulitmm
Hands down queen. With all what you said. You won because you were that contestant that is quite meticulous,prepared and powered by that extra special ingenuity in you. God bless and you're always loved.
Look how prepared she is. From the Thailand arrival up to winning the crown. And she's very detailed and hands on. From outfit to accessories.
Nobody could really rob the crown from you back then. You were really well-prepared and every move was calculated and the whole Philippines is very thankful to you for bringing such pride to our country. You will forever be the best Miss Universe.
I love the way you always consider our country’s pride. Wearing those outfits in dress or accessories creates a mindset that we have a very unique and wealthy culture. Thank you for showcasing our culture anywhere you go. God bless you Ms. Catriona!
*Cat was right about Rabiya's natcos though she really didn't say anything about it. As one of the smartest MU ever, she knows what is a well-thought winning piece. She was right all along and I love her even more for somehow expressing it. Designers should take this as a constructive criticism and learn from it moving forward.* ❤️
Ano po sinabi ni Cat?
@@mightymight24 She didn't said anything, She just didn't include Miss Philippines in her top 6 Natcos which is i agree, Rabiya's natcos was not the best. But she didn't said anything bad to Rabiya
@@certifiedlovergirl9983 Ahhh okay po. Sana itake na lang po nila as constructive criticsm yun. Kasi I'm on Rabiya's side din pero di ko din masyadong gusto yung natcos niya. And Cat has the knowledge and experience so she knows well ano yung maganda. Sobrang butthurt lang siguro talaga ng mga supporters ni Rabiya.
It feels like MU2018 just happened yesterday🥺 Time flies really fast. I’ll never get tired watching you again and again queen!🥺❤️ You’ll always have our love and support. Our best miss universe!❤️🤗
It's so nice to get these pictures and the stories first hand, I can only imagine how happy excited and also anxious you were representing a whole country. You are the true embodiment of a confident beautiful woman, and hand's down my best Miss Universe of all time. Thanks so much for sharing your story 👏🏼 Sending love from Nigeria.
si catriona yung kaklase mong super grade conscious at hindi nagpapakabog sa mga school projects, a true perfectionist
cat is so iconic i swear. shes a legend
Di mo akalain na ang mga tela ng Pinas mula sa mga indigenous materials maybibigay ng classy at makisabayan sa produkto sa buong mundo. galing Ms. Cat.
How i wish every Miss Universe Philippines in the future has this kind of winning team. 🥰
So prepared, so systematic.
Agree!hoping that president na kung sino yung team na naging isa sa dahilan na pagkapanakalo ng pilipina sa MISS U ay Dpat xila den ang kunin to train para mas masustain....
She captained her own ship, and got people who complimented her own ideas/vision, instead of "relying" on the team to decide for her.
If Cat would be the director of MU then chances of back-to-back winnings will drastically increase. She clearly knew how to play the pageant game.
Her outfits are well managed from day 1 to end. From the stories behind it, the accessories. She nailed everyhing, she was destined to be our queen periodt 🙃
4 years ago you won Ms Universe, but I still have goosebumps everytime I watch your performance on Ms Universe. Best Universe indeed 💗
She's so detailed! She planned it ahead before the competition to avoid any accidents. And her team is remarkable! Don't waste their talents, make them the official team of MUPh! Everything's in your journey is so perfect. You're prepared. You hav ethe best team. You tag the Philippines along with you! It's not only the sash that makes them recognize you're a Filipino delegate but also your waedrobe. I love how detailed you are! You researched before and do everything to stand out. What a standard. I hope all our candidates will learn from you.
YOU REALLY ARE AN EMBODIMENT OF A TRUE MISS UNIVERSE QUEEN!! We loved all the outfits. Thank you for showcasing the wonderful dresses made by our talented Filipino designers! ♥
Wx
She's the volcanic empress goddess.
You're a:
✔Game Changer
✔Trendsetter
✔Authentic
✔Unique
And last but not the least, A TRUE QUEEN! ❤🔥🇵🇭👑
You really made Filipino representation very appropriate with a sense of pride. All your well thought of efforts showed us how very intelligent and grounded you are as a Filipino with knowledge and meaning of our culture, heritage, and art.
Congrats, you are the best Miss Universe! You are the best Miss Philippines!
Positive vibes pouring out from your aura. Grabe ang dating mo, elegant, confident pero napaka sweet tingnan. Comfortable ka and parang ang dali mong iapproach kahit mukha kang Barbie doll, parang walang sumisira ng araw mo. And yung dedication, determination, at drive mo to bring home the crown eh kitang kita. Para kang business o career woman na diyosa at hindi beauty queen na walang essence.
Right from the beginning....she IS already miss universe to the end...she has it all...beauty, brains, heart and soul!
She came to win talaga 😍 The most prepared among the rest! That's why no question, why she was the Queen of the Philippines i love you Cat muah 😘
Catriona is so fashionable. She is the one choosing her outfits for each day so she can feel powerful with her outfit and I really love that because as she said if you are uncomfortable in your outfit then it will affect your performance and how you act. She did a good job for choosing her outfits by herself and not relying on her designers or team to choose for her outfits.
No one can ever beat her when it comes to passion and love for the country. I love heer!!
I love you too😄😘
She had folders to show which outfits were where? What a organize person, who thinks of this? I bet no other contestants ever thought of this. Catriona is brilliant.
Now I see why you look so effortless on Miss Universe 2018... You made so much effort behind the scene! I love how you went the extra mile to research on the place to exude colors of your dress. Very well thought of! Wow!
Catriona redefined the modern era of pageantry. Best Miss Universe in the recent years. 💯
Catriona was truly a winner she wasnt just representing the country philippines but also the country where she is going to with . Every story she told there is always a knowledged for her to share the background .
A captain of her own ship. From day 1 she captured to the hearts of locals in Thai. All the concept of her game really made her win. She came way prepared. Its true that she had set the bar so high.
Walang duda kaya whole package sya ..super hands on sa lahat . Kse napakaimportante tlga na sa mga visit ng miss u sa lahat ng pupuntahan maging angat ka kahit sa damit lang na mapansin ba . Kase malaking puntos un .. kaya si queen cat super taas ng standard na iniwan nya sa u na hanggang ngyon d pa dn tyo maka move on sa pagkpanalo nya
She was soooo well prepared. A queen worthy to emulate.
Catriona really did a huge impact for the beauty candidates. It's been three Years and still the people being inspired with her. Forever a QUEEN indeed.
For Filipinos, yes. To the universe, nah... nonsense claim, honey. No offense.
oh thats what you say hahaha..it has elevated everything
Grabe Lang pala insight ni Catriona. Everything was very well thought of.
True! Very organized queen
Her walk
Her gown
Very brainy
Very classy
Very natural all natural pati face wala pinaretoke wal pinadagdag sa katawan kundi work out lang talaga ginaw nia..nakakabilib ang queen na to very very rare...iconic ika nga...have a long long life our queen catriona grey.....you desrve happiness in life.
Watching this made me convinced that she was not just destined to win but she prepared and executed her preparations in order to win. I feel in any competition one must just do his or her assignments in order to understand his or her competition in order to stand out every step of the way. Likewise, the budget and preparations must not be left from supporters or organizers but more importantly the role also of the candidate to ensure there that things will be carried out well and according to plan. Winning in a pageant is about impression thus you have to create that impression that you prepared to win and that every moment is must be a statement of hey look at me I am a winner. Wear it feel it say it and be it the winner that you are in a competition such as a beauty pageant. This is a business so invest and invest to win. Congrats Ms. Grey.
If they finally teach Miss Universe 101 as a subject in schools - this should be a reference material. Catriona's journey should be the blueprint. ❤️
I superrr love Ms Catriona Gray. She is really my favorite Ms Universe winner 😊. For me, she is a representation of beauty, elegance, character, standard, purpose. She won back 2018 but her fame is still felt, her advocacy, purpose is still on the run. She is Ms universe. Her mind and heart is brilliant. God bless you queen 😊😊😊
Same feeling here.. 😍
Same she is BEST MISS UNIVERSE EVER LIKE VICE GANDA SAID ❤❤
