MANILA, Philippines — There’s nothing stopping Miss Universe Catriona Gray from showing the universe the culture of the Philippines.

In an Instagram post on Saturday, Gray flaunted her skirt made by the Tagakaolo tribe in Mindanao at the headquarters of Miss Universe in New York City.

Gray, who went to the Big Apple to start her duty as the new queen of the universe, said a giant cup of tea and coffee saved her day.
