MANILA, Philippines — Despite a wardrobe malfunction, Philippine bet Jehza Huelar maintained her poise as she walked in a ripped gown at the recently concluded Miss Supranational 2018 in Poland.
Huelar shared a video of herself walking the pageant stage in an Instagram post on Tuesday captioned: “Grace under pressure.”
The beauty queen from Davao City said she only found out that her “light, stretchable with durable zipper” gown was ripped after it was announced that she made it to the Top 10.
“Minutes after the announcement of the Top 10, I realized that my gown was ripped … that’s why I was the last one to come out,” Huelar said.
Nonetheless, the “unfortunate event” didn’t bother her at all. She added, “Worry less, focus more — that was the only thought I had in my mind.”
Pageant website Powerhouse has posted a closer look of Huelar’s ripped gown held in place by safety pins.
Huelar finished as a top 10 candidate at the Miss Supranational 2018 held in Kyrnica-Zdroj, Poland on Dec. 7.
