MANILA, Philippines — They say a dramatic entrance is everything! And so it is!
Just like at the recent press conference and gala dinner night of the ongoing Miss Grand International (MGI) 2021 competition, where the candidates were whisked off to the Four Points Sheraton aboard a shining crimson Corvette C8 Mustang - wearing their national crowns and evening finery, the swimsuit preliminary did that as well - only, this time, the girls came to shore in a double-decked sailboat - the H.E. Hype Boat Club!
Garbed in bright yellow-orange maillots, the official MGI swimwear of the preliminary, all camera angles (from the bust frames, medium/long shots, to the several drone angles) captured the ladies' curves and contours (or the lack thereof) in the unforgiving glare of the mid-morning sun; intensifying the glamour and drama of the ongoing pageant!
Stephanie Medina of Dominican Republic delivered a whallop of a performance to snatch the top spot of the swimsuit parade - gliding through the quay like it was the most natural thing to do!
Adriana Moya (Costa Rica), Maria Jose Sazo (Guatemala), Sophia Rogan (Indonesia), and Samantha Alexandra Panlilio (Philippines) equally stood out in their respective pasarela routines down the gangplanks of the JL Marina.
