Now you know why Miss Philippines Ariella Arida was not present during the Yamamay Meet-and-Greet Fashion Show. The participation in Tony Ward’s Couture Fashion Show for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Russia was far more important a gig. Not only did it showcase our bet in her most elegant and fashionable look, it also afforded her the chance to be seen and appreciated by important people from the Press and Moscow’s Fashion Industry.

The photos and screen caps above show how much of a stand-out Ariella is. 🙂

  1. pakisabi na magrupo lahat ng MIss Universe Filipina contestant..GAbon, Guam, Canada at syempre…Filipinas… at sabihin sa lahat ng contestant…hehehhe Filipinos, the most celebrated race on earth…

  3. It was strong performance by Ara I must say, it featured the outfit as much as her. That is what models do. She made sure that the focus is on the clothes, not her.

  4. I agree, I really like Valaries, Beside her, I like to see Belle Daza and Bea Soriano. I think their media exposure and modeling background are good foundation.

    • She looks ready for an international pageant and I have to agree with Sheena that she competes for Miss World.

      And whoa! She posed for Rouge, too. She’d be controversial, too. 😉

  7. Hindi magiging madali ang daan patungo sa korona Ara, gaya ni Megan dadaan ka din sa pagsubok subalit matamis ang magiging kapalit kapag ito’y napagtagumpayan mo,. Be kind be humble, I will pray na magtagumpay ka.. God bless!

    Seems like our ara is being bullied by some other continents at kilala nyo na ung mga un na hindi matanggap and makikitid ang utak sa issue….there are this insider on whats going on behind the camera…we can trust the person because hes half pinoy with some connections inside…..read what he shared in misso….

    And seems like PR rep is mapapel ha…as i saw in one video na pictorial na hindi nman cya kasali aba nagmamadali from the back at para mkasali sa mga ibang candidates na nagpapaicture sabay lakad sa gitna at pumunta sa gilid at sabay pakita ng likod…ohhh di ba bastos!!!

    And some chikas from hotel staff na may mga candidates daw talaga na bitches and naglalabasan ang ugali….

    >>I hope makarating to kay ara….the best way she can do to all of this is bring kindness to everyone it will be a good tool to some bitches,ignore,lakas ng loob and lumaban….it only shows that this people wants her to bring down kc shes popular candidate knowing our winning streak kaya ganyan sila kainsecure sa pinay plus maganda si ara….i want her to win….(feel bad to those people being bullied) i hope mabait ang kapalaran sa kanya…..tito norms pls. Rely my message to ara that our people is behind her kaya lumaban nlng cya and show kindness to everyone…

    Ps. The blind item number #1 seems like its indonesia that hes saying…..

  9. Arida is so graceful in motion. She’s perfectly in-tuned with the music especially when she stopped to pose and back again. She’s so captivating to the point of hypnotizing that I watched this video over and over again. if she keeps her momentum she’ll definitely ascend to the throne.

  12. Philippines ought to pass this, she’s a ramp model and she passed with flying colors along with Poland and Spain.

      • hi Neil, Poland was the one who opened and right before Olivia closed, she also has one or two more in between.

  13. I’m wondering if Mutya Datul could do as well in this pageant. She’s quite a charmer 🙂

  14. The shouldve named the show, “Paulina (Miss Poland) an friends show” hahaha since she was the “face” of the fashion show. hahaha the designer must really like.how she caries his design. She opened and closed (well technically coz Olivia Culpo doesnt count) Paulina rocked that fashion show! no doubt!

    but there were also somr standouts like Philippines Spain France and Venezuela

  15. Tony Ward Couture Fashion Show, indeed, was a success considering that the evening gowns and cocktail dresses were more contemporary and more well-defined. Each piece showing different identity and style. The Miss Universe aspirants, all-looking fierce were certainly a delight to watch. However, only four candidates stood out. And for me, they really made their captivating attires more interesting and the simpler ones more elegant.

    I know that the show will not affect the scores for the preliminaries but if the preliminary judges were in attendance, I am sure that those who stood out have some edge over the others. And here’s my honest-to-goodness Top 5 ranking. I repeat, RANKING!

    2. Philippines
    2. Poland
    2. Venezuela
    4. Russia
    5. Great Britain

    Although, GB’s catwalk was unforgettable, I have to give her credit for owning the fiercest face that night.

    My thanks to Pageant Guru who uploaded the entire show in YT. Without the video, I would not have been able to give my fair judgement about the show.

    And thanks also to whoever is officially handling AHA. That off white evening gown wasn’t an easy piece to walk with on the romp but she did it with absolute justice making the piece one of the most delicate and most elegant creation of Tony Ward.

    Simply my opinion…

    • I like how one comment went: “she made me want to buy those (simple) dresses” 🙂

  16. its okay to to express your dislikes and criticism, after all we all want our candidate to win, will you be heard by her handlers? when you see something that doesnt fit from what you expected to be achieved and you make nonsense comments, yong iba kung maka okray akala naman na i represent na ang pinas sa international pageant, o naka rampa na sa catwalk, Hoi baklang NEGATRON!! you are bitter and desperate fag, that has so much hatred in life cause the spotlight that Ara is enjoying right now will remain your Dream!! d mo kasi magawang i represent ang bansa natin so u opted to be the nuisance here so you could at least get a taste of temporary fame.

    • parang wala din, baka ayaw nya ng pang isetann recto mall show, gusto nya yung pang kay ara.. smx convention center show. 🙂

  18. Honesto?????????????????
    Halika dito at ikaw ang magkomento, may nakasubo kay Inday Basil habang may hawak na dalawang labakara.
    Pag humaba ang ilong mo na mas mahaba pa sa patola ni Facundo, alam na.
    Pero pag na-meynteyn mo ang nosebridge mo,wapak pasok sa banga ang peg ng lola mo!

    • Hoy Poohkelly, anong space ang pinagsasasabi mong butangera ka?
      Matter is anything that occupies space, I am a matter and I deserve a space.
      Vova!
      Beach!

  19. ANG CHIPANGGA NG YAMAMAY SHOW! LAKAS MAKA MALL SHOW! BUTI DI PUMUNTA SI ARA DUN! 🙂

  20. This room has full of pessimists and optomists. Stop the brouhaha if Ara was good or not. This is not even the contest proper, this is just some pre pageant activiites to satisfy the sponsors. It has no bearing whatsover on the final outcome of the pageant. You start saying things after the PRELIMINARIES, this is where the semi finalits of 15 will be chosen. Stop your nonsense. You are full of it bekis.

  21. Stunningly beautiful. And she’s not trying too hard to impress.

    This styling fits her to a T. Emphasized her strong features without looking drag. She looked like Zuleyka Rivera.

  22. If you watch it again and look closely on the walks of the candidates, you can say that PH has a strong walk. A model walk is different with pageant walk and she is one of the candidates who deliver that. Even on still photos show how relax her face and body. No muscle straining on her neck and face. For me she is one of the stand outs along with spain.

  23. OA naman ang iba, Ara did well in that show, but to praise her that she was the best over the rest of the ladies, you’re all hypocrites. Over maka hype, if yan ang way of showing support. I would only believe if someone(fashion critic) who was there at the show made a comment to a candidate, and if many of then applauded Ara, it will be a surprise.

    • C’mon you know ara did great admit it 🙂 ara is the shortest she didn’t wear the stunning gowns and cocktail dresses that everybody did but look she manage to standout 🙂 everybody is just in a happy mood today

      • tama. Bakit ba may mga taong hindi gustong maging happy. wala namang bayad mag appreciate ah. You can appreciate as much as you can for free.

  25. Can I just point out that she did a really good job walking with that white dress on. If you look at the bottom of the dress the leg space is tight. Walang masyadong space for movement. She walks just as good as some of the professional runway models. GOOD JOB ARA!

  26. I am not a fanatic but I think she’s more than OK. To those concerned about her height which is fairly average, this is not a modeling competition. And to put some perspective, Kate Moss is only 5’7″ too.

    • The difference is that Kate Moss is oozing with X factor…the model beomes her…impeccable pizzaz! While ARA is just ok…not bad…but nothing more than better!

      • X factor? She wouldn’t be chosen by Tony Ward Couture if she doesn’t have IT dahling!

      • Really? Ara’s beauty may not be considered as conventionally pretty but she has striking looks, along the lines of Joan Crawford, Sigourney Weaver….elegant, classy and sophisticated. There’s more to Ara than meets the eye and she is yet to reach her full potential, in my opinion.

  27. Kudos to the make-up artist of ARA in that Fashion Show — she/he is a pro, an ace, an expert! Ara should learn a thing or two from her/him. She looked so lady-like in that show…unlike in her earlier photos wherein she resembled BB Gandang Hari and Jon Santos.

    • Give the woman some credit! All the bashing, negativity and constructive criticism does not help while she’s currently competing. You’re not in her shoes and don’t know how she feels being pressured and criticized by her own fellowmen so instead of being smart asses and give your point of view… your support, understanding and prayers are the important factors she needs at the moment to boost her morale, confidence and able to effectively deliver the best she can be!

    • I would have to agree with benji here… I dont think he is bashing ara. its a good point to consider. remember what happened to nina ricci alagao, she was a strong contender from d beginning yet fell short in the preliminaries, they say it was politics but fashion experts said that she wasnt as glamorous during the preliminary night. during this time the girls were the ones doing their own hair and make up, so benji’s comment here is significant as I may say.. ara was very feminine yet fierce at the same time in this fashion event. this combination is gonna her passport I guess to winning. so for me she would need bring that out come preliminaries.. 🙂

      • Yes. That’s the best thing to block such bastard people like benji et al. too much na.

      • Benji, may kumpanya ka pala, pa-low profile ka pa.
        Kunin mo naman akong contractual, and I’ll be the best that I can be para maging regular.

      • That’s right tito norm…bka puede gawin un o qhng d nman ehh wla n lng xang hayaang magcomment…
        @hoy, tanga….Norman Blog is all about Pageants, Places, Peoples, etc….but most imposrtantly, it’s all about PATRIOTISM..kya ngah patriotic posts mkkita m d2 ehh…kh8 na pang-international pageants ang site na toh ehh we can’t deny that it’s more about philippines in international pageants kya wag ka magtaka qung grabe kme mkareact sa mga picture n ara…qng grabe ang papuri nmen…para ka lang trigonometry ehh..bak8, co’z ur tan G A…duh!

      • That’s right tito norm…bka puede gawin un o qhng d nman ehh wla n lng xang hayaang magcomment…
        @benji…….hoy,!!! tanga….Norman Blog is all about Pageants, Places, Peoples, etc….but most imposrtantly, it’s all about PATRIOTISM..kya ngah patriotic posts mkkita m d2 ehh…kh8 na pang-international pageants ang site na toh ehh we can’t deny that it’s more about philippines in international pageants kya wag ka magtaka qung grabe kme mkareact sa mga picture n ara…qng grabe ang papuri nmen…para ka lang trigonometry ehh..bak8, co’z ur tan G A…duh!

      • Maraming beses akong kontra ky benji pero i think hes just telling his strong point of views. Speaking his mind well is ok lalo na wala sya inaaway nang below-the-belt nor hes not using too harsh words.
        Mas healthy ang forum kung may debate.

        Kilala ni Manorman kung sino sino iblock/ban.

      • Neil, pag hindi nakakainom ng maintenance meds yang si benji humihirit yan out of nowhere tulad ng ginawa sa akin kahapon LOL.

      • Ganun ba sheena.i was not aware…
        Natawa nmn ako sa “medicine thing” na yan…

      • neil, bipolar lang ang peg nya. LOL. Check mo yung reply nya dun sa comment ko sa “The friends Ariella keep”, it’s on the top lang no need to scroll down. Parang may sanib magreply! epekto ng Halloween din? 😛

  28. Ara was good in that Fashion show — just good. She was OK. But to say that she was stunning, amazing, excellent, above the rest…ahhhh, then you must be kidding, making a fool out of yourself. Only the fanatics would take a second, third, fourth…tenth look at her and begin swearing that she is the goddess! I am sure that those Japanese Fanatics of their model would say the same to their candidate, but has ARA registered a bit to them? I doubt…and it’s a big “I DOUBT!”

  30. It is not just her walk is amazing, look at her eyes. She is smizing. She is connecting to the audience. She is commanding her presence. Ara is definitely one to beat

  31. She was one of the best. I don’t know what some of you guys are complaining about. It was only her, Venezuela and Poland that nailed their walks! The others were graceless, stiff and comical.

    France was graceless, PR was too stiff and one of her walks looked like she was woundeed in the leg.

    The others were just comical. I cannot control my laughter seeing that blonde walking like some idiot in the runway.

    Ara did great, and come to think of it, this is only her runway walk. I am curious as to what she has in store for her pagenant one.

    • @vendetta

      I AGREE. Her make-up is perfect, thanks to Tony Wards’ make-up artists.

  33. Another thing that I want to highlight is, it was a battle of the jawline between Gabriela and Patricia. Both are goddesses and Gabriela is a revelation! Watch out for her Ara. She’s also beautiful in motion just like Ara.

    • There is a very obvious asymmetry on Gabriela’s face when she smiles. Do you notice that too?

      • You mean in pictures? Just like Ara, I appreciate Gabriela’s face more with lighter lipstick, as I noticed that it softens their faces 🙂 Watching the fashion show for me is a revelation — Revelation of who can grab the crowd/judges’ attention come preliminaries if ever, those who knows the difference of runway walk and pageant walk, and those who are also beautiful in motion/videos. It’s actually nice to see Gabriela, Patricia and Ara all in 1 show. They’re a breath of fresh air to watch I must say 🙂

    • Your observation and assessments @ Sheena are truly accurate…
      Keep it up girl, follower mo na ako…

  34. wow. sa gantong klase ng show… where models would sport the same look… as in same hair, same makeup… lalabas talaga kung sino ang maganda… the rest would just be the twin of the other model… im happy that ara is one of the few who stood out. 😀

  35. Sadly, here’s one site on FB that continues to give her a back-handed compliment with a slap. Why do they do this?

  37. Apparently, Ara’s shorter compared to the other misses but she did very well in her solo walk.

  38. Myanmar is currently leading the people’s choice awards at the Miss Universe Website (english version). Ariella is at second place. Myanmar is ahead by like 100,000 votes. Lets get voting people!!!

    • Myanmar uses programming to generate these votes. It has roughly half the population of the Philippines and internet access in Myanmar is not as pervasive and at times restricted.

    • NO this is a lie. Sir Jonas denied this on his Twitter account when someone asked him. C’mon that’s not something you will wear in the Miss Universe pageant prelims and coronation.

    • Tlga? Sino source mo and sino designer? Di flattering for me gown na un…marami p sanang options sila dalhin.

  41. MAMA N…MISSO IS STARTING TO BAN MEMBERS THAT MAKE RACIST COMMENTS, ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT TOO?

  42. bud? thought wud just like to share this nice collage. Photo credit to the owner.

  43. She had an OK walk. She did not standout as a couture/catwalk model. Plus she looked very short.

    The first two girls, the girl after Puerto Rico, Venezuela had the best walks for me

    • Had to agree on the height. But I think this is not her fault anymore because most of the girls are at least 5’9 I think and it didn’t helped that she was sandwiched during their final walk :\

    • Ara walked the way it should be done in the runway! There is a huge difference between pageant walk and ramp modeling walk–let’s not get the two twisted.

      In my opinion she delivered very well now let’s see how she does it at the prelims.

      Regarding her height–Sheena I see what you mean she did look tiny but her height is pretty average and must say she is a lot taller than Olivia and she bagged the crown last year.

      Constructive criticism: ara should walk with power and like she owns the moment–that’s what Janine and all the other past girls did. Ara must deliver that when she walks in the room your head will turn and say “she is the one!”

      I am very hopeful and she has my support

      • Yup I know that’s why I mentioned the height of the majority of the girls. It’s a similar case with Megan’s during her Beach Beauty shoot — She looked short because she was sandwiched between 2 tall girls. I don’t have any doubts on her ability to wow the judges come prelims, I just said my piece for this fashion segment 🙂

      • @Sheena,

        Both Ara & Megan are short… But the difference between Megan & Ara is that Megan commanded the runway. Her eyes looked like as if lazer was going to come out of it. Her walk was a 10/10 for me.

      • This year’s coverage is a major fail IMO if you compare it when they held the pageant at Vegas and Sao Paolo… I remember the official pictures of the girls were uploaded last year in less than 5 days after the candidates arrived. I don’t know if it has something to do with the host country? :\

      • MU2013, based on international beauty pageant standards I won’t say they’re short but it’s just average. And I think Ara is a bit shorter than Megan. We all know that height is might but sometimes it doesn’t work that way 🙂

      • @Sheena,

        Sorry Sheena, but 5’7 is short. 5’9 would be average.

        My sister is 5’7.5″ and everytime she walks for San Francisco or LA Fashion week, she is ALWAYS the shortest. And this is just SF/LA fashion week..

        Anyone below 5’9 is deemed as SHORT.

      • High five.check.
        Venezuelans were trained on pageant-stage pasarela.
        This time, she turned her head to her leftside front row seats as if she was competing in an actual pageant.its a NO NO to haute fashion show…actually nowadays, there are international fashion shows where staff posted at backtage somthing like this: “no smiling. No gliding. No posing at end of runway platform.”
        Ara & Jamaica are Pro in this challenge.

      • MU2013, I get your point, but anyway I think we should just be proud that Ara was selected to participate for this event 🙂

    • I am not being overly critical – i am being honest and realistic. I did not say her walk is horrible – i said it was OK. Just OK. Please read carefully.

      Anyone saying Ara had the *best walk* is dillusional. Come on. If Ara wasn’t wearing the Philippine sash, you would not even notice her here. Be real.

      Maybe for Philippine standards, she has an *amazing* walk but this is an international arena, my dear. Reality check.

      I understand the need to show patriotism – but reality check is important also.

      • MU2013…as I read many of your other comments, I see myself agreeing always. I really couldn’t understand why others are so fanatical to the point of being delusional. Keep your objective assessments going – saying bland when it is bland, sour when it is sour (even if those crazy fans would insist that it is excellent and sweet…such a mediocre standard). I could feel that when it comes to seeing the real score, we are in the same wavelength! May our tribe increase, hehehe

      • Exactly, Benji.

        I give credit when its due. Like at the welcome dinner – Ara looked gorgeous there and i gave praises and compliments.

        I just hope the rest a mind of their own. Not just being BIASED all the time.

        When Riza Santos won Miss Canada, everyone was going “WOW!!! Another filipino!!! Ara and Riza are the best!!!! Filipino pride!!!!”

        And then when Ara and Riza became room mates, everyone started backstabbing Riza and bashing her – just for the fact that she is rumored to be “bitchy”.

        Reality check. Being bias and hipocracy must stop.

    • The thing here is the designer made ara wear the designer’s least desirable dresses of the line compared to the rest who wore gowns and more stunning flowy dresses but still ara managed to give justice to that red and white numbers and actually surpassed the others who were taller and made to wear haute couture gowns! Ara made me want to buy that white dress now! Haha so for me ara is the winner here

      • i think clothes are distributed based on height and size… i dont think the designer would risk giving a very long dress that would trip a model (ara) on stage… yun ang pagkaka alam ko sa ganyan… well but ara stood out along with spain and a few more… the rest pang pageant lang talaga…

      • Please don’t blame the designer…It might be that they really found it hard to pick a dress that compliments the height of ARA…

      • uhhmm benji? halatang basher ka…. or a big troll … i never said the word BLAME…. tsk tsk

    • just stop comparing megan to ara…. they are 2 different individuals…. plus, it only show that you criticize ara not bec you are saying the truth but because you just love megan so much and probably hate ara… just get over it… just be happy that these filipinas are making our country proud….

      • Constructive criticism: make use of hands and arms, play around with them, naka-puwesto sa bawang at hindi naka-laylay lang on the side, etc. I think it would make a really huge difference on the impact of the walk. Ganon yung ginawa ni Janine sa finals night. I’m sure alam ni Ariella ‘yan.

        Then again, fashion show ito. What’s important is the dress so minimal hand/arm gestures para makita yung kabuuan ng dress. Syempre iba na ‘yan pag pasarela. I’m sure magkakaroon ng may kembot at movement pa para mas may “ooomph” and “pak” factor na ‘yan.

    • MU2013…I couldn’t understand why others would thumb down your comments when in fact you are just telling the truth. Try stating that Ara just dominated the whole show and i’m sure you will be flooded with thumbs-up and words that agree and subscribe. Try stating one obvious deficiency of ARA and you will be bullied no end!

  46. Kabog si ara! Tama yung sabi nila maganda si ara in motion, bagay sa kanya yung aus niya! Lumabas yung exotic looks , parang pinaghalang ruffa & lara, natural na matangos ang nose niya wt penetrating eyes! Tamang tama yung lakad niya saka facial expression so far ara do very well! Nga nga na yung mga mayayabang na taga hanggang ng diosa ng asya kuno! Check ako sa ms.U section yung diosa ng asya kuno sa asya ang pinakachaka! Opinion ko lang po thank you!

  47. I’m just amazed at philippine reps! They Just keep bringing it on!! ara delivered in this show!! Up to now I can’t get over ara’s performance here. While other’s pasarela were very pageanty ara’s was just on point giving the right amount of fierceness not too much on the hip swaying and arms slinging!! If Tyra banks saw this she would have given the top model prize to philippines haha. ara is just heating up, this is just the beginning!

  48. Miss Dominican Republic mishap . I hope she did not sustain any injury. I cringed when i saw this. Ouch !

    • Who would have ever thought that anyone would fall through that big triangular hole placed right in the center of that stage!

      • Who in the world world would want to stage a runway show with an inconspicuous hole in the middle of the stage?? LATRINE IN THE MIDDLE PERHAPS???…

  50. I thought ang show ng yamamay was included in mercedes benz fashion week but in photos parang promo fashionshow lang sa trinoma.I do sounds sour-graping but its true.
    To think that picky Tony Ward chose ara in fashion week is indeed a huge milestone in her modeling career..ikaw n ara.Taray. Hindi nakasama si Ms.Indo sa show na to kasi di naman sya mgiging cohesive sa mga muses kahit n magaling sya sa catwalk.

    • Mas magaling walk ni Ariella kay Indo. Over the top si whulan minsan eh. Ariella’s glides beautifully without trying too hard.

      Plus people say Whulan is the fiercest face? They obvs havent seen Ariella here—ang powerful ng gaze niya dito.

      • Overrated ang W para sa akin :\ Ang layo ng itsura nya ngayon sa casual pictures kumpara dun sa mga kumalat na glam pics nya dati.

  51. Sir Norms: These are professional getty images you may want to use for this post. Thanks!

  52. Miss Philippines is almost perfect. However, I noticed that some other girls like Spain, France, and Jamaica are just outstanding as her.

  53. She was fab in the white gown. And her close-ups end all arguments about her facial beauty, she’s stunning. Her face is so symmetrical.

    I’m not a fan of that red dress they made her wear, it looked heavy and the odd length was not flattering.

  54. out of all the models, i think she really has the best facial expression. those eyes— grabe talaga. whew.

  58. Shit galeng. Nahaluan nya ng konting beautyqueen hip gliding ang haute couture catwalk which to me is ok ksi sobrang flattering. San na new vid bg 2nd catwalk nya?..link pls.

    Btw, iba pala talaga effect ng white sa tanned skintone nya…standout.

    • I believe Ara (AHA) is doing her best. The sad thing is Mr Trump is probably on to certain campaigns & strategies. This has already been shown as early as last year when our Miss Tugonon almost won, but failed to clinch the title – through no fault of her own. Mr Trump and the MUO may have already sniffed too close a coincidence that the Twitter question chosen was a) about language in dealing with the Q&As, b) that it went to our candidate, c) that it was asked by a friend of a Filipino TV producer in the US, and lastly d) that the specific question chosen was also by tweeted by a Filipino.
      Not to fault Ara or Janine, but the crown may go to someone else again – perhaps Miss Czech Republic or Vietnam, who knows.

  60. She is very modelesque! Her catwalk is just perfect for the runway. The styling is on point. Remember this is a couture show and I think Ariella gives justice to the garments. The white gown is very flattering on her. Maybe she should wear white for her gown competition. I love Spain.. she is divine on stage. I wish she and Ariella are the last two standing on stage on November 9. By the way, where are the others who were supposedly handpicked to walk for Tony Ward like Thailand, Mexico, Singapore?

  61. Sabi nya (ARA) sagwa daw yong tenga niya, di naman, di ba?…yan pa nga ang nagbibigay ng added definition sa mukha nya…for me, may appeal pa nga…may dynamism kung naka-expose yong tenga nya (ARA)

  62. Isn’t it wise to think, from these 27 beauties, ONE OF THE IS ALREADY A SURE WINNER?

    • I can see Poland, France, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Spain, Ukraine, Great Britain, Sweden (I love her unusual look not so much of her walk), Jamaica, and of course the Philippines making the first cut. I wonder who handpicked these delegates for the Tony Ward couture show. If there were a casting call, these ten ladies would have gotten a callback, in my opinion.

      • @Dawn Selya Saladores (@iamdawnselya) Yes Miss Sweden is also beautiful I think, but I hope that she had enough training to shine in the prelims. I’m still for ARIELLA!

  63. Who was the girl behind Ara (2nd appearance) ? Was that Puerto Rico? She’s straining her neck too much, in my opinion.

  64. Freeze on the 27th frame of the fourth video…kitang-kita na naka-protrude yong puson ni ARA…

    • Puson? I didn’t see any. Didn’t you see her swimsuit photos? What are you talking about? Please enlighten me.

    • di kasi puson yun. abs yun 😀

      pero di nga, you can’t expect ariella to be a full blown model by having the maximum height noh. plus don’t judge a beauty queen through standards used for for modelling. #justsaying

      si olivia nga tumaba at ‘di rin maganda ang lakad…..

    • Wow ha…mukhang ayaw na ayaw mo kay Ara ha..pero binabantayan mo sya…..alam ko ang tawag dyan…haha….ang ibang Pinoy talaga eh noh…sana di na madgdagan ang kagaya ni Benji….tsk tsk tsk! 😀

    • Eh yung nose hair tsaka ingrown nya nakita mu rin.. Kung may puson xa eh anu naman ngaun.. Do we really have to dwell on the nega side of things… Geez! Get a life ..pathetic!

  65. Wow!!…as in Wow again………………ang napanuoD ko Lng eh ung naka red sya…taPos bgLa pang nag Lag ung wifi ko….facT sheet………………………pls post aLL her performances….

  66. She looks like lara quigaman in her make up…..☺👍 PR is also strong and venezuela

      • alexandraflora, sister yes! Pareho sila ni Ara na sa motion maganda. She and Ara got my attention. Isa pa si Poland yata yun. The rest are either conscious about not tripping, masyadong mauga maglakad or mabigat pas

      • Isa din yan si Venezuela na nilalait for being matronly or not facially attractive. Pero parehas sila ni Ariella na mas maganda pag candid shots or pag simple or light make up lang. Super agree ako na sila ang pinakamaganda in motion. Lamang lang ni Vene ang height pero bias aside, mas magaling/maganda pa rin si Ariella.

  69. For me, the ones who stood-out outstandingly are the ff: Poland, Jamaica, France and Spain. Japan was so “Sakang”…ARA lacked the pizzaz needed of a model…besides, Ara was dwarfed by the tall co-models on stage. I’m afraid, JAPAN and Philippines will suffer “international bashings” due to their deficiencies on the rampart…Ara looked beautiful though — younger version of Ruffa G.

  71. oh GOD be the glory. That’s our girl. She did her best for us and our country. kinilabutan ako sa lakad nya.

  72. Super proud of her. She rocked that runway.. Very professional ang lakad niya. Speechless here. 🙂

  73. dis is it. oh my gosh. so elegant. kinumpleto mo na naman araw namin ariella arida. so stunning. thanks norm for the update. professional model abroad

  75. I am still in awe, ethereal. Can’t help but to be a bit teary-eyed while watching it earlier.
