MANILA, Philippines — Before setting foot in the grandest pageant in the universe, Miss Universe Philippines 2018 Catriona Gray gave the world a glimpse of her winning walk as she slays the runway for designer Sherri Hill at the recent New York Fashion Week.
Clad in an elegant peach dress then later a yellow one, Catriona walked confidently on the runway with fellow models, including Miss USA 2018 Sarah Rose Summers.
On her Instagram account, the Philippines’ Miss Universe 2018 representative posted a photo of her walking on the runway, saying that she could not believe she was chosen by Sherri Hill.
“My first NYFW. When I got the call back in Manila I was incredulous, to be flown to NYC to work with @sherrihill - I couldn't believe it, ako ba? Bakit ako?,” she wrote.
“Thank you @sherrihill for the amazing opportunity and for seeing something in me! And thank you everyone back home who stayed up to 5am to support! Mahal ko kayo sobraaaa #CatrionaForSherriHill,” she added.
Catriona will be representing the country in the upcoming Miss Universe 2018 to be held later this year in Thailand.
