Nicole Cordoves is renowned for her hosting skills and has consecutively hosted the Binibining Pilipinas competition since 2021. In an Instagram post, the beauty queen said “Working with Bonita Penaranda (@bonitapenaranda) on 6 editions of Binibining Pilipinas now, it’s a challenging thing to come up with something new each year. So we decided to go with the theme of elements this year and play with different silhouettes and textures—starting off with the “alon” dress by Bonita Penaranda.
The oceanic element of Nicole Cordoves’ mermaid fantasy look was perfectly executed with the talent and help of her makeup artist Angeline Mae Dela Cruz, and hairstylist Valerie Repato Corpuz who put colors and life to this inspiration.
