WATCH: Nikki de Moura turns heads at the Miss Grand International 2023 prelims

Nikki de Moura was an absolute head-turner during the evening gown and swimsuit segments of the Miss Grand International 2023 preliminaries.

The Filipina beauty queen opted for a Rian Fernandez creation with different shades of pink, amped up with some glitter as well as a deep neckline and sheer overskirt for a subtly sexy touch. According to the designer, the applied ornamentation of the bodice "is encrusted with glass crystals and rhinestones carefully handcrafted to perfection."

Nikki matched her long gown with dangling earrings, smokey eye makeup, and curly hair.

She later walked the runway in MGI Swimwear x Bikini Passport with the same accessories, makeup, and hairstyle for the swimsuit competition of the pageant.

The Miss Grand International coronation night will take place on Oct. 25 in Vietnam.

Nikki is the first representative of the Miss Grand Philippines pageant under ALV Circle.

The Philippines has yet to win a Miss Grand International title since the pageant was established in 2013. The country’s highest placers in the tilt include Nicole Cordoves and Samantha Bernardo, who both won first runner-up in 2016 and 2021, respectively.
