Bea will be representi­ng the country in the 70th Miss Universe which will be held in Eliat, Israel on December.

Bea is not the only beauty pageant winner who is gay. The are other former beauty queens who reveals their real selves to a chosen few but never in public.

Bea, 26, is a model/ Philippine Navy reservist who won the highly coveted title at the pageant's grand coronation night held at Hennan Resort Convention Center in Panglao, Boh ol .

Beatrice looked stunning in her royal blue asymmetric­al evening gown with matching earrings and nude platform heels. Her gown was designed by renowned Dubai-based Filipino fashion designer Furne One Amato of Amato Couture. And it won the

Best in Evening Gown award.

Furne One, revealed the inspiratio­n behind the designer's crystalemb­ellished masterpiec­e. He said it represents a "Modern Filipina." The gown is also Furne One's tribute to Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach— whose signature color on the pageant stage is blue.

When Pia won the Miss Universe 2015 title, she wore a blue evening gown designed by Albert Andrada. When the pageant's 65th edition of Miss Universe was held in the country, she also picked a blue Michael Cinco gown during her final walk.

Back to Bea, the red gown she wore during the preliminar­y competitio­n was also designed by Furne One. And it is likely that the Philippine bet will be wearing the designer's creations agai n.

It can be recalled that Furne designed the two gowns— "Sarimanok" and canary yellow— worn by Rabiya Mateo at the Miss Universe 2020 pageant in the U.S.

Furne One's clientele includes Hollywood AListers Katy Perry, Mariah Carey, and Ariana Grande, as well as local stars Maymay Entrata, Maja Salvador, Nadine Lustre, and Vice Ganda.
