From Music Theory to Miss Universe: The Inspiring Journey of Filipina Beauty Queen Catriona Gray

by Beautifilipina Staff, 01 Mar 2023

Are you ready to feel the energy and excitement of one of the most beloved Filipina beauty queens? Look no further than Catriona Gray, the dazzling star who captured the hearts of audiences worldwide when she won the Miss Universe title in 2018!

Born in Cairns, Australia, Catriona's unique heritage, with a Scottish father and Filipina mother, has always been a source of pride for her. She grew up in the Philippines and went on to pursue a degree in Music Theory from Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA. With beauty and brains like hers, it's no surprise that she quickly made a name for herself in the pageant world.

In 2016, Catriona won the title of Miss World Philippines, and soon after, she competed in the Miss World pageant where she placed in the Top 5. But she was just getting started! In 2018, she represented the Philippines in the Miss Universe pageant, where she rocked the stage and made history by becoming the fourth Filipina to ever win the coveted crown.

During her reign as Miss Universe, Catriona used her platform to promote important causes such as education and HIV/AIDS awareness. But it wasn't just her advocacy that made her stand out - her signature "lava walk" and stunning gown inspired by the Mayon Volcano (a landmark in her mother's hometown of Albay) became instant sensations, making headlines and cementing her place in pageant history.

With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the world in 2020, the Miss Universe pageant was postponed to 2021. But that didn't stop Catriona from continuing to inspire her fans through her social media presence. Her positive outlook, as well as her dedication to various causes, have made her an icon for women everywhere.

At Beautifilipina, Catriona is celebrated for her achievements on the international stage and her commitment to promoting beauty, confidence, and empowerment for all women.
