Filipina candidate McDonnell honors Maranao heritage with Singkil costume at Miss Globe 2025

Filipina candidate Annabelle McDonnell showcased her heritage with a Singkil-inspired national costume during the "semi-final" show of The Miss Globe 2025 pageant in Albania.

Her costume, designed by Chino Christopherson, featured red and gold elements with fan-like appliques and a matching parasol, honoring her Maranao roots from Iligan City.

Indonesia's Dela Deniya won the "Best in National Costume" award.

McDonnell previously won the Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2025 crown and was the first runner-up in the Miss Charm pageant in 2023.

The Miss Globe 2025 finals are scheduled for October 15, with Filipina queen Maureen Montagne serving as a host.
