Tracy Maureen Perez's grace and beauty caused a stir among Filipino pageant fans who witnessed the culmination of her Miss World 2021.
Fans tuned in on Thursday morning, March 17, 2022, to see the Cebuana beauty queen land in the Top 13 of the Miss World 2021 pageant held in Puerto Rico.
Her journey may have ended quickly, but Tracy still made her mark by slaying one OOTD after another.
THE BLACK DRESS
After being named as part of the Top 12, Tracy greeted her supporters and answered confidently as she wore a form-fitting black dress designed by Jeremiah Oribe for his clothing brand called Ebiro De Mariée.
After the pageant, Miss World Philippines Organization gave their Instagram followers a closer look at Tracy's little black dress.
It uploaded a photo from her shoot with celebrity photographer Mark Neto Diaz before she flew to Puerto Rico.
"BLUE FOR BLUE CROWN"
Tracy was also certified stunner during the Miss World 2021 grand coronation night. She wore a custom-made creation by UAE-based Filipino fashion designer Harvey Cenit.
Her sophisticated and sexy glam aura was highlighted by the glittering royal blue gown that proved less is more.
Tracy's evening gown OOTD for the Miss World 2021 pageant also featured a pair of heels designed by Jojo Bragais and earrings from DiaGold Jewelry.
Moments before the pageant's finale, Tracy took to Instagram with a photo of herself wearing her Miss World finale gown.
The photos were captured by Charvin Valdez Torne.
She wrote in the caption, “Blue gown for the blue crown. This is the last stretch, Philippines! Pray and manifest."
Other Filipina beauty queens loved her evening gown look and showed their support for Tracy in the comments section of her post.
With a blue heart emoji, Binibining Pilipinas International 2021 Hannah Arnold commented, "We love you and are so proud."
Boholano beauty queen Pauline Amelinckx—who was hailed Miss Universe Philippines 2020 3rd runner-up and is currently a Miss Universe 2022 candidate—told the Miss World 2021 finalist, "We believe in you, Trace! Bring it home [blue heart emoji and crown emoji]"
For both looks, Tracy was styled by Francis Chee and Vhee Co of StyleIt.Ph. She also tapped her go-to makeup artist Japeth Mike Purog and hairstylist Gelo Cibrian for both her shoots with Mark Neto and Charvin.
This is the second year that the country finished in the Top 12 of Miss World after Michelle Dee‘s placement in 2019. Megan Young is still the only Filipina to take home the crown when she won back in 2013.
Out of 97 candidates, Tracy secured a spot in the Top 40 after winning the Head-to-Head challenge prior to the pageant’s coronation night.
She was also among the Top 5 finalists for the Beauty With A Purpose fast-track program.
