Future beauty queen? Gabbi Garcia stuns in four looks as MUPH host

Gabbi made her MUPH stage debut in a beautiful red form-fitting dress with a draped blush pink fabric by Mark Bumgarner. Her hair was styled with a side-swept beauty queen hair. 

For her second look, the My Destiny star showed off her sultry side by wearing a Bonita Penaranda ensemble for the backstage interviews. The gown features a sheer aesthetic, emphasizing roped and knotted accents in royal blue.

During the Top 10 announcement, Gabbi wore a Mara Chua creation: a golden corset paired with a black sleek skirt. 

For her final look, the Kapuso actress changed into an opulent black gown by Anthony Ramirez, that had a dramatic train and exquisite lace.

She surprised viewers with a chic, short hairstyle at the pageant, a bold change from her signature look.

Gabbi's dazzling display that evening left fans wondering if she might consider pursuing the Miss Universe crown in the future. In a video that she shared on her Instagram, Gabbi teased her followers with: "Next time na 'yan. Host lang ako."

In 2021, she did the TikTok "Questions I Get Asked Challenge" and revealed that she was a pageant fan when she was younger.

"When I was a kid I remember kasi diba dati ang beauty pageants Sunday's Best, 'yan lagi dati. Gabi pinapalabas, tapos may school kinabukasan. Lagi ako nagpapaalam sa parents ko 'Puwede ba extend, 10 p.m. ako matutulog, kasi I really wanna watch the whole pageant,'" Gabbi answered a member from the media in a virtual press conference for her show IRL last year.

"Kahit after ng Q&A matutulog na ako. 'Yun ganong level. So dream ko sya, actually, but then nag-iba 'yung universe ng direction para sakin eh," the actress added.
