Here are two photos from yesterday’s sendoff for Miss Universe Philippines Celeste Cortesi as arranged by Hydee Ursolino Pichai and hosted by Charina Vergara of Titas of Manila Filipino Kitchen in West Covina, California.

And while we are in the subject of Celeste, there are rumors circling the pageant grapevine that she will be rooming with Miss Universe Italy Virginia Stablum (who is being reported as having Roberto Cavalli as Designer for her competition evening gown). Let’s see if this turns out to be true because the dynamics between the two ladies will be quite interesting.

I like her ‘softer’ look here, Celeste looks younger, looks more approachable, relatable, and less fierce — qualities that women themselves might find more appealing, something to consider as it is again an all-women judging panel this year who will select the winner.
Si aunt Jonas parang bagong tawag as last sa taff 20. ginuo koooooo. rampa kung rampa. Naka smize ang hitad!!!!
May nadagdag ba sa sawsaw at fishngehhh hihihihihi. Good luck girl. Be natural always kahit merong hindi natural kung Meron man😆😀 cherette
The red dress could have been perfect if the length is just a little above the knee.
Hmmmm. The reason behind the sunglasses a few days prior. I think cheleste had the fox eyelift surgery or baka makeup lang yan. Her eyes looked more Asian 😂 or baka they are trying for Celeste to look more Pinay with the eyes.
Sino ba ang magcocompete, si Lola Jonas or si Choltaire???? hihihihii
I hope these two just step out of the spotlight and give Cheleste the space she needs….
As for her ensemble, I agree. I really like it. She wears something conservatively powerful. Like a potential transformational leader that Anne-ti is looking for hihihihihihi
True, bakit ba sila kasama parati? I was browsing through pics of other candidates and luggages lang ang katabi nila. And honestly, I rather see maletas next to her rather than Voltaire and Jonas. Nakakaumay na!
I wish her well! I hope that she smiles naturally. Kapag pilit, I noticed that her upper lip disappears. And the wave! Sometimes mejo pageant patty. Relax lang, and be you!
SHE IS VERY LOVELY IN THAT GETUP.
Turns-out Miss Russia is going to compete! &
I hope they would give her the opportunity to make it to at least the TOP 20 to provide her the platform to be the voice of PEACE. If I’m MUorg, I would make Miss Ukraine & Miss Russia roommates.. and let them battle it out upto the finals… Miss Colombia & Venezuela, Guatemala & Peru, Lebanon & Israel, Philippines & USA.. just for the clout..😅😈😏🤣

HELLO, SHALALA AND MAMA CHONAS…NAKAKAWALA NG CLASS SA BRANDING NI CELESTE, PALAGING KASAMA SA PICTURAN
Celeste wore the dress with élan. I. Super. Love. It.
I have once written here that red is Celeste’s color. So, I hope that her evening gown would be in that shade. She looks braver, confident, and powerful in red dress.
Celeste’s nude make up also suits her. But, I don’t care if she wears red lipstick in her red evening gown. For sure, she will look more beautiful in that ensemble.
Best of luck, girl.
That’s all.
Beautiful.
One of the rare photos to show the natural, smiling beauty of Celeste. No make-up make-up. She looks young here. No pretentious pouting lips, no pa-sultry look, and with minimal to no skin exposure. I hope she can showcase these multi-faceted looks and versatility in New Orleans.
World Peace.
WOW , roommates ! just waiting for Miss Ukraine to complete my triumvirate !
