MANILA, Philippines — Great Britain's bet Christine Dela Cruz Chalk slayed the runway at the Miss Universe 2024 preliminary swimsuit competition earlier today in Mexico.

"Christina is on a mission to connect and uplift women worldwide," R'Bonney said.

Christine was a former Miss Universe Philippines candidate.
She won as Miss Universe Great Britain last July.
“If at first you don’t succeed… try, try, try, try again,” the Filipina-British said in her Instagram after winning the title.
