MANILA, Philippines — As Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray returned to the Philippines for her homecoming parade, several artists paid homage to the beauty queen’s victory.

These artists made dolls and a cake inspired by Gray’s iconic looks during the Miss Universe 2018 pageant.

The replicas of Gray in the form of dolls and a cake featured the 25-year-old beauty queen’s Mayon gown designed by Mak Tumang as well as her pink swimsuit.

A doll also featured the Christmas and Luzon-Visayas-Mindanao national costume designed by Jearson Demavivas. It also had a lit lantern.

Some dolls also highlighted other outfits of Gray during the Miss Universe preliminary pageant and her stay in Bangkok, Thailand. 

The dolls were made by various artists, designers and pageant enthusiasts who include Alvin Ocampo, Eric Benito, Ian Mendajar, Deph Hermoso and Christopher Flores.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, a baker created a cake inspired by Gray’s final look at the Miss Universe competition. It was made for the cake competition Bakery Fair 2019 held at the World Trade Center.

The cake featured landmarks in Albay where Gray hailed.

Gray has returned to the Philippines on Saturday and is set to grace her grand homecoming on February 21 and 23.

Here are the photos of dolls and cake created as a tribute to Gray:
