If you grew up watching beauty pageants, you'll know how common it is to see candidates sport long and straight (or wavy) hair. That said, it was refreshing to see Filipino-Brazilian beauty queen Nikki de Moura embrace her naturally ~*curly*~ tresses at the Miss Grand Philippines 2023 pageant. Aside from her magnetic personality, the 19-year-old MGI Philippines titleholder stood out with her bouncy curls!
Now in Vietnam for the MGI 2023 coronation night, Nikki continues to let her natural beauty shine through.
For the pre-pageant activities, she's been styling her curls in different ways—and netizens love her for it!
"Gandang kulot," one netizen wrote. Meanwhile, another one commented, "Itaas [ang] bandera ng curly hair community."
"Love ur curls," another follower said.
"I like that I take space with my hair when I'm on stage," Nikki said during a press interview. "It's so easy to spot me. I think that's something that's very grand about me."
The 11th MGI 2023 coronation night is set to happen on October 25, 2023 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
We're rooting for you, Nikki!
