NICK VERREOS FASHION REVIEW | MISS UNIVERSE 2018

Postby lesham » Thu Dec 20, 2018 3:15 pm

    

Let's start with the winner:

Miss Universe Philippines Catriona Gray--Catriona wore this sexy red beaded gown from Filipino designer Mak Tumang, who also created her Preliminaries dress. The gown, entitled "The Mayon Gown", was inspired by the iconic Mayon Volcano (the most active volcano in the Philippines) which features a perfect symmetric conical form at the top. According to folk tales, it was named the "Mayon" volcano after the mythological heroine Daragang Magayon (Beautiful Lady). The designer said that Catriona can be considered as the modern-day Daragang Magayon...

Image
Image

My Critique: The dress was covered in thousands of multicolored crystals creating an effect of molted lava covering her figure and featured sculptural nude illusion panels showing almost a sliding-like path of the "lava" crystals. The design also had a super-high side slit showing off her long legs. While it wasn't my favorite gown of the Top Ten to be honest (it was a little too-mucheey in terms of leg for my taste), I liked the inspiration and it definitely had stage impact. Also, I just wished she wouldn't have worn those platform nude heels because they were distracting and, frankly not right with that gown (red strappy non-platform heels might have been a better choice, style-wise).
Score: 8.95 (out of 10)

I did, however love that she wore the earring accessory that she also wore back when she won Miss Universe Philippines earlier this year...
Catriona's "Three Stars and the Sun" earring cuff, created by Tessara Jewelry. She said that she wanted to add a "patriotic" touch to her look: The earring accessory is inspired by the stars and sun in the Philippine flag.

Image
1. Miss Universe South Africa Tamaryn Green--Tamaryn, who ended up as Almost-Miss-Universe--or First Runner-up, wore this silver crystal gown for the Miss Universe 2018 Final Crowning Night. In all honesty, this was my Top Favorite Gown. The design was from Galluzi e Gini, the same designer/brand that created her preliminary Gown (which I also loved HERE). The strapless column gown featured a side cowl drape and open side front slit. The fit and length were spot-on, unfortunately, because of that side skirt panel, it had a "life of its own" and kept wanting to crawl into her walking space. It really affected her moment on the stage but luckily, later she realized what to correct--in terms of her walk--to make up for that clumsy runway mishap. Even with that, the gown itself was TOP NOTCH. And I loved the styling including her hair and the matching silver crystal strappy heels.
Score: 9.90

Image
Miss Universe Canada Marta Stepien--My No. 2 Best Gown at the 2018 Miss Universe Finals was this fabulous design worn by Miss Universe Canada. Marta SHUT THE GOWN DOOR DOWN with this over-the-top design from Dubai-based Filipino designer Michael Cinco. She actually wore this gown for the Preliminaries but only featured the dress--and not the 5-tiered crinoline overskirt. She overtook the stage--and the Evening Gown Competition--when she stepped out in this, SLAYING everyone else (except Miss Universe South Africa's dress). I loved the Couture look, fabulous over-the-top effect and You-Only-Get-One-Miss-Universe-Gown-Chance so...
Score: 9. 89

Image
Miss Universe Venezuela Sthefany Gutierrez--Sthefany wore this same gown for the Miss Universe 2018 Preliminaries and while it would have been nice to see something different, it was a strong design to show--especially for those viewers who had no knowledge of what she had already worn at the Preliminaries. The gown was from Venezuelan designer Nidal Nouaihed and featured silver sequins over a nude illusion base...

Image
Sthefany's gown was THE definition of the popular "Nude--or Naked-Dress", inspired by the one-and-only Cher, and designer Bob Mackie at the 1974 Met Gala (above photo). I thought Miss Universe Venezuela looked great.
Score: 9.35

Image
Miss Universe Curacao Akisha Albert--My 4th Favorite Gown of the Miss Universe 2018 Finals was this silver sequined one worn by Miss Universe Curacao. The fit was perfection and Akisha looked every bit a Pageant Goddess in it. I loved the radiating upper torso crystal details and how it framed her figure and the styling was on-point--including her chignon hairstyle, makeup and earrings. She was ELEGANZA defined!
Score: 9.25

Image
Miss Universe Vietnam H'Hien Nie--Next up is Miss Universe Vietnam in this silver sequined gown. I thought she looked marvelous, elegant and exuded Pageant Royalty in this shimmering custom gown by Linh San Couture. The column fitted dress had an open-scoop neckline, center front illusion panel, side front slit, long sleeves. The length was perfect and the fit was 100 %. I just wished she would have worn silver strappy heels.
Score: 9.20

Image
Miss Universe Thailand Sophida Kanchanarin--Miss Universe Thailand changed her gown from the Preliminaries to the Finals. And I was a happy Gown Blogger for it: I really loved this custom gown designed by Asava. The design featured a fitted silhouette with many panels (pattern-making marvelousness!) and gorgeous sequined jewels hand-sewn throughout. It was a true example of Haute Couture. I just wished that it was a teeny bit longer and more sweeping-dramatic.
Score: 9.10

Image
Miss Universe Puerto Rico Kiara Ortega--Kiara wore this silver/nude gown from Sherri Hill (I was a bit surprised she didn't wear a design from a Puerto Rican designer, but "oh well", as they say) for the Miss Universe 2018 Finals. The column/fitted dress featured a lunging v-neck and mini cap sleeves. She looked sweet but Pageant Impacting. It was very beautiful, and "gown safe"--nothing too "fashion'y" or daring.
Score: 8.50

Image
Miss Universe Nepal Manita Devkota--First off, a big Congratulations for Miss Universe Nepal for making the Top 10 of the 2018 Miss Universe; not sure when the last time that her country made the cut. This gown was not my favorite. The one shoulder silver sequined design had a salmon pink ombre skirt lining that was a bit weird, to be honest. But more awkward was how the waist lining stopped and was so blatantly on display. The beautiful Manita would have been better served with an ivory sequined column gown that had no "break" in the line as this one did.
Score: 7.99

Image
Miss Universe Costa Rica Natalia Carvajal--Last on my Top 10 Gown List from this year's Miss Universe, is this royal blue design worn by Miss Universe Costa Rica. I am going to be honest here: While it fit her very well and showed off her figure perfectly, this off-the-shoulder sequined/lace applique dress was too 1998 Pageant Betty for my taste. And then, she styled it with those silver platform "Stripper Heels" (NOOOO!!!). It was all a bit to dated, except for her hair and makeup, Gracias!
Score: 7.95

Image
Now, speaking of Fashion, while we're at it...Did anyone else notice What DESIGNER Host Steve Harvey was wearing???
I'm Wearing Who?? Miss Universe 2018 Host Steve Harvey made it a point to single out his custom-made suit featuring hundreds of crystals, saying the larger stones represented the 94 nations competing in the Miss Universe Competition. He then proceeded to show the fab lining featuring the names of the countries...One had to pay close attention to the end credits to find out it was designed by none other than Dolce & Gabbana:

Image
Hmmmmmmm....Very interesting. Especially since, well...considering all that has recently occurred with the brand: The cancellation of their Shanghai show because of alleged racist comments made on Instagram by Stefano Gabbana, as well as the controversial videos advertising the show highlighting an Asian model trying to eat pizza with chopsticks...let's just say I was a bit surprised that a fashion industry watchdog like DIET PRADA didn't notice this and put it on their Instagram.

It's not cheap looking, but that's your opinion. It's just that the silhouette is common in pageants. :=p I agree she carried it well. Congratulations to your Sophida. :-D

Let's be honest, Cat's gown is solely for the Miss Universe stage. The beaded material created an effect that made her stood out in the sea of metallic gowns. It was a one of a kind gown only she can pull off for that specific moment.

My other favorite gowns were Canada, Curacao and Vietnam.

Though I understand her critique about Cat's shoes, I can't understand that he chose Tamaryn's gown as the best of the the top 10.

TBH, it was actually one of the ugliest. Construction was poor. Draping was very amateurish (one of the reasons why the girl had difficulty walking).

Well I am not a fashion expert so I rest my case. >:) >:) >:) >:) >:) >:)

It's not cheap at all dear. You'll be surprised how much those gowns cost. The gowns are very unique and eye-catching. Only Catriona can carry them well

I actually wait for his reviews and I agree a lot with his so comments but for me he is so off this year. One of his top gowns in prelims is Indonesia and South Africa. And I was like, are you fucking kidding me? Indonesia’s gown while intricate is not very good and South Africa’s gown is cheap looking. So bye Felicia.
Everything is so finite. But don't you think that that's what makes our time, at specific moments, so important?

Are you kidding me? Miss Universe is all about presentation in EG. Philippines was the best. The gown was unique and stood out from the rest of their couture gowns of the top ten. That’s what they were looking for. I was not a fan of Cat during Bb. Pilipinas but she delivered this time.

Have you watched South Africa again? Her gown was ill-fitted, very loose, too long for her height, her hair was a mess in the back and her walk was a disaster. How can you give her the highest score. She should have not gotten to top 5.

Puerto Rico was short, her gown was loose in some areas with her sexy body. Her facial expressions were flat.

It’s only Philippines, Venezuela and Vietnam who delivered during the EG among the top 5.

It's not anymore the South Americans monopoly.
No wonder several contestants had their gowns done by Filipino designers.
Had Catriona worn a Barazza, Verreos would have scored them highly.
He also scored Pia's gown so low in 2015 knowing it was from a Pinoy designer, Albert Andrada.
Ever wonder why they put on those horrible shoes? Chinese Laundry is big sponsor of Miss Universe!!!

Flop + Bias = the TS



I am sad how Ms SA stumble and struggle with that gown. Nothing is special with that gown, honestly i imagined a girl wrapped in a towel after a shower the first time i saw Ms SA wearing that, it was really amateurish. I'd pick what Miss Curacao wearing than Ms SA's.

Now wtf Canada's wearing that back part screams volume which did not enhance her physical features.

The only thing i dont like with miss Thailand's gown is the silver pattern that kinda give me an impression of common dress. I think it is much better if they placed it in a pattern creating sexy silhouette.

Venezuela's bottom part is heavy.

Ms Philippines Lava gown is too hot to handle, I wish it has a long sleeves to make it more tame and add more drama to the arms. A little spark was also needed to that Ibong Adarna inspired gown.

Again it's my opinion.

Nick Verreos' aesthetics is that of high fashion or haute couture, so it makes sense that his taste will gravitate towards designs that are familiar to him because that's his bread and butter. Pageant gown aesthetics is much more dramatic, flamboyant, attention - catching and at times, can be exaggerated because the main idea is to get the attention of the judges.

Cat's gown stood out in a sea of silver, glittery fabric so overall, she succeeded in achieving the agenda of any beauty queen in an evening gown competition : TO STAND OUT.

I didn't like South Africa's gown, but it did highlight her exotic beauty, and make up for her wardrobe malfunction.

Venezuela's gown is what you expected from a Miss Venezuela : goddess - like.

Vietnam rocked that gown with the skill of an edgy, high fashion supermodel.

The one that least worked for me: Nepal ( it looked dowdy and matronly to me ), Costa Rica ( it looks inexpensive ) & Puerto Rico ( she should have a chignon or a bun hairdo in able to elevate her look, she looked plain in that gown. Good thing her smile made up for it ).

Oh really? It looks cheap, huh? See this...

A whopping 1 million pesos per gown! That's around $19000+ per gown.

Cheap gown it is.

Truth be told, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia constantly critiqued Nick Verreos because all he did on Project Runway was to make a high-low skirt with a fishtail for a gown. He also had had questionable taste level. I wouldn't take his criticism on Catriona's gown seriously because knowing his track record, he was just an average fashion designer. He didn't even land in the Top 3 of Project Runway, for crying out loud. I'd rather choose Francis Libiran and his kitchen-inspired doily patterns anytime than Nick Verreos's creation for our candidate.

It's not cheap looking, but that's your opinion. It's just that the silhouette is common in pageants. :=p I agree she carried it well. Congratulations to your Sophida. :-D

Flop + Bias = the TS

I am sad how Ms SA stumble and struggle with that gown. Nothing is special with that gown, honestly i imagined a girl wrapped in a towel after a shower the first time i saw Ms SA wearing that, it was really amateurish. I'd pick what Miss Curacao wearing than Ms SA's.

Now wtf Canada's wearing that back part screams volume which did not enhance her physical features.

The only thing i dont like with miss Thailand's gown is the silver pattern that kinda give me an impression of common dress. I think it is much better if they placed it in a pattern creating sexy silhouette.

Venezuela's bottom part is heavy.

Ms Philippines Lava gown is too hot to handle, I wish it has a long sleeves to make it more tame and add more drama to the arms. A little spark was also needed to that Ibong Adarna inspired gown.

Again it's my opinion.




I agree with your assessment
I guess, you are more knowledgeable in fashion than the TS

For me, the only falling of Cat's Mayon gown is not the gown itself but the SHOES
TS IS CORRECT WITH HIS SUGGESTION REGARDING THE SHOES

The comment that the Mayon gown is TOO HOT
well, it is inspired by volcano's LAVA - very hot indeed
Besides, Cat is sultry , so, it fits
and a FEAT

I read in yahoo news that one of your media influencer in thailand could be end up in court because she criticize the gown wore by Sophida which was design by your princess. I think that one was a real cheap though, although that was carried well by Sophida.. Lol!!!
