Que, who also created the national costume of Miss Universe 2021 Beatrice Luigi Gomez, said his new creation for Perez was inspired by the mythological creature Mayari.
“Mayari. Moon Goddess and daughter of Bathala. Hailed as the most beautiful deity, she has complete dominion of the world at night,” he said.
