With people still abuzz about the infamous announcement mix-up in the Miss Universe 2015 pageant last month, actor Paolo Ballesteros transformed himself to become Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez.

In a post on his Instagram account on Saturday, Ballesteros channeled Gutierrez to become “Ariadna Guchenez.”

“Ariadna Guchenez, 22, Colombia. #transformlangnangtransform #makeuptransformation #AriadnaGutierrez #MissUniverse2016edition” the caption of the photo read.

The photo has since gained more than 44,000 likes and thousands of positive comments from netizens as of this writing.
