International beauty queens Megan Young and Pia Wurtzbach graced with their regal presence the 30th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games opening ceremony yesterday, Nov. 30.
Miss World 2013 Megan Young could not help but express her joy for being one of the “queens” for the event.
Young took some backstage photos with Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, as seen on Instagram yesterday.
The two stood cheek to cheek, wearing elegant figure-hugging Filipiniana dresses and intricately crafted jewelry.
“Each of us walked with a participating country earlier and I’m so happy I got to walk with the Indonesian athletes,” Young said.

Pia Wurtzbach was also a part of the opening number as the representative of the Philippines.
“Nakakakilabot nung sinabi ung (It was amazing when they said) ‘PHILIPPINES’!” Young claimed. “During that moment we were all just so proud to be Filipino.”
Wurtzbach and Young were only two of the beautiful muses which slayed the opening ceremony’s parade.
