RIGHT after winning the Miss Universe 2018 crown, Philippines’ bet Catriona Gray took to Instagram to thank everyone who has supported her and gave a special shout out to the team behind her success.
In addition, Catriona also shared a story about her mother dreaming that she would be Miss Universe someday.
“I was 13, my mum told me ‘Honey, I dreamt of you winning @missuniverse in a red dress.’ At that time I thought nothing of it, and today my mother’s dream came true,” she wrote.
“Where do I even begin? Lord God, I lift everything up to you – to glorify and honour you.
“Philippines what an amazing honor it has been to carry your name across my chest and to embody you in all aspects. I may now carry the sash of Miss Universe, but I’ll forever be your Miss Philippines,” she added.
Catriona surely won the hearts of many. She first had 1 million Instagram followers before being hailed as this year’s Miss Universe and she now has 2.3 million followers a day after winning the crown.
Catriona is the country’s fourth Miss Universe title holder, after Pia Wurtzbach who took home the crown in 2015. (Push)
