Katrina Dimaranan Gives Reboot Of 2012 Photoshoot For Miss Universe Philippines

“Elektra-fiant.”

Miss Universe Philippines candidate Katrina Jayne Dimaranan serves up a more fierce version of her photoshoot from 2012 and reboots it with a superhero twist.

Katrina, who represents Taguig City in the contest, on Friday shared photos of her sporty blue and black eyeshadow and spiky hairstyle on Instagram which she captioned as “Azul.”

“If I had to be a superhero, I would have this gorgeous Elektra blue look from Mamshie Cielo and Mama Florenz, and my character name would be Azul hehe,” she wrote.

“This look is a 2.0 reboot, ten years later, of the 2012 photoshoot with my BBP sisters taken by the amazing @sevenbarretto (Seven Barretto) for Metro Magazine,” Katrina added.

BBP refers to Binibining Pilipinas.

The 28-year-old TV host joined the beauty pageant in 2012 where she won the title Bb. Philippines Tourism at 18 years old. However, she was unable to represent the country in Miss Tourism Queen International that year as it was canceled.

Katrina is also the first runner-up of Miss Supranational 2018 where she represented the United States.

She shared a photo of herself in the old magazine photoshoot where she wore blue and black eyeshadow but with long hair.

Filipinos noticed the changes in her photoshoot and shared their opinions in the comments section.

“Haute couture, I love it,” said one Instagram user with a heart-eyed emoji.

“Iba ang beauty ng Filipina, ohhhh kay ganda ng Filipina,” another fan wrote with various emojis.

“Grabeeeeee,” another account commented with a series of clapping emojis.

Katrina in her caption also shared that she was proud of her Filipino heritage when she mentioned a Pinay Marvel character named Wave.

Wave, or Pearl Pangan, is a character introduced by Marvel Comics in 2019.

She has the ability to control water and works as part of Atlas Agents under Jimmy Woo.

“It’s so inspiring to see that we Filipinos and Filipinos are starting to see progress in the representation we deserve, in the mainstream media,” Katrina said.

“Mag-aral na din ba ako ng martial arts kasi bekenemen bet nila haha ​​char. But it gives me another reason to be a proud Filipina! she added with heart emojis that depict the colors of the Filipino flags.

The night of the coronation of Miss Universe Philippines 2021 is September 25.
