Winwyn Marquez wears Aswang-inspired national costume to Miss Universe Philippines
Beauty queen and actress Winwyn Marquez, a fan favorite at the Miss Universe Philippines competition, wore a national costume inspired by her mother Alma Moreno's role in the 1992 film 'Aswang'.
The costume, designed with Obra Grandiosa by Bryan Diego, featured intricate detailing including rhinestones, acrylic beads, and embroidery laces.
Marquez described the outfit as a tribute to Filipino cinema and noted its transformation from elegant to sinister, reflecting the Aswang's nature in folklore.
In a video showcasing the costume, Marquez and her mother appeared alongside Miss Universe Philippines 2024 winner Chelsea Manalo and creative director Michelle Dee.
The coronation night for Miss Universe Philippines 2025 is scheduled for May 2 at the Mall of Asia Arena, where the new titleholder will represent the country in the 74th Miss Universe pageant later this year.
