One, who has created another gown for Mateo for the finals on Sunday, says it was a challenge to put together the looks because of travel restrictions.
“I couldn’t travel to the Philippines, so we had all our fittings over Zoom and that took much more time and effort,” he says.
Michael Cinco, another celebrity favourite, also had his designs worn by contestants at the pageant.

The 2021 Miss Universe pageant was postponed last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but it’s back and better than ever, and it’s time for the 74 contestants to show the judges what they’ve got.
The women gathered at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., on Friday, May 14 to model their costumes as part of the preliminary competition. While some ladies wore patriotic ensembles to honor their country’s biggest exports, others wore traditional regional ensembles.
It’s only one of the many competition categories the women will be judged on before the finals on Sunday night when only 21 women will remain in the running.
