Filipino designer's carabao-inspired costume lands Tarah Valencia 3rd runner-up at Miss Supranational

Filipino designer Emanuel Riñoza created Tarah Valencia's national costume for Miss Supranational 2025, inspired by the Philippine carabao and Cordilleran farmers.

The costume, named "Kalabaw: Strength of the Land, Spirit of the People," features sculpted shoulder pieces resembling carabao heads, a headpiece with horns and a nose ring, and a structured bodysuit incorporating solihiya weaving and Cordillera fabric.

Valencia aimed to win the Philippines' second Miss Supranational crown, following Mutya Datul's 2013 victory.

Tarah Valencia ultimately finished as third runner-up during the Miss Supranational 2025 coronation night.

Eduarda Braum of Brazil was crowned Miss Supranational 2025, with Germany's Anna Lakrini as first runner-up and Curacao's Quishantely Leito as second runner-up.
