The MGI All-Stars contestants are set to make a grand statement in golden shoes made in the Philippines. These striking footwear pieces are designed for the fierce competitors who aim for the crown.
The contestants will debut the luxurious footwear during the preliminary rounds on May 27 and 28, followed by the Grand Final on May 30, all hosted at the MGI Hall in Bangkok.
Philippine representative and reigning Miss Grand International, Emma Tiglao, along with first runner-up Gotchabell Sarunrat Puagpipat from Thailand, had a sneak peek of the stunning 'All Stars' shoes during a photoshoot in Quezon City.
Designed by renowned Filipino shoemaker Jojo Bragais, the golden stilettos feature a chic four-inch heel and multiple straps, embodying the strength and elegance of the pageant queens.
Bragais is currently sourcing high-quality gold leather in China to ensure the shoes meet the expectations of the 58 contestants from 38 countries participating in this international event.
The designer aims to reflect the journey of the contestants, who are ready to reclaim their moment on stage after their previous experiences in pageantry.
Bragais will also be part of the judging panel, which includes notable figures like Miss Universe winners Lupita Jones and Natalie Glebova, alongside other esteemed pageant personalities.
Five contestants from the Philippines will compete in the event, showcasing the nation's strong presence in international beauty pageants.
