I am not an expert when it comes to clothing designs but look at this piece, don't you think it's a disaster? I mean, fair enough, the top looks good but the colorful bottom part of the gown just doesn't seem to match the overall design. It's as if Bianca is modeling for a yarn company. It's disastrous, it's messy and very disappointing. I heard it was made by a Colombian designer, the same designer who created the Miss Universe national dresses in the previous years. I don't wanna think of sabotage here.
Beyond any doubt, a lot of fashion critics will surely have their say on this, too. And I just hope that Bianca Manalo would do well and excel on other categories of the pageant and at least win other major awards.
