Catriona Gray dons a stunning one-shoulder formal red dress during her hosting stint at the 72nd edition of the Miss Universe on Sunday, November 19, 2023 (Philippine time), in El Salvador.
The Miss Universe 2028 titleholder serves as one of the annotators, giving her commentaries and insights on the side.
The dress, featuring an elegant net-like design, is a creation of designer Anthony Ramirez.
Its splendid glory was shown on Catriona's Instagram account.
The color red was reminiscent of the gorgeous and now-iconic lava gown she wore during her crowning moment at the 2018 Miss Universe pageant.
"A new journey begins tonight! Let’s keep praying and cheering on our candidates!" wrote Catriona.
She also gave Philippine bet Michelle Dee a shout-out.
