Last night was one of the glamorous events leading up to the Miss Universe pageant—the Governor’s Ball hosted by Chavit Singson. The fundraising event is a Miss Universe tradition to highlight charities that the host country supports like the Philippine Red Cross, Gawad Kalinga Foundation, and more.
This event was also a chance to mingle and get to know all the candidates of Miss Universe. So, who dressed up and partied last night? Scroll, please.
The event was hosted by Joey Mead-King. During the event, she wore three looks designed by Mark Bumgarner. The red jumpsuit was our favorite.

Dawn Zulueta wore a dark blue dress with a belted waist. Why does she look like she doesn’t age at all? She also posted a photo with Lani Mercado.

And of course, this night would not be the same without the reigning Miss Universe and this year’s candidates. Who wore your favorite look?
Party time! #GovernorsBall #MissUniverse

It’s true what Chavit said that it would be glamorous. Now we wonder how the Miss Universe pageant will be.
