Rain or shine the event will start at 8AM.

Prior to the first released statement that the 65th Miss Universe pageant will be held at 5 AM, the Miss Universe committee reveals yesterday during Pageant's Media Launch that the final start time of Monday's event will happen at 8 AM and will end by 11 AM.

It will be held morning here in the Philippines to allow network in the United States to televise the pageant live in prime time.

Last time the "5AM statement" of DOT Secretary Wanda Teo caused stir online as netizens were not thrilled about the scheduled time. Some parody twitter accounts were asking if the pageant will either be a fun run or simbang gabi.
Hopefully, President Duterte will also issue an Executive Order declaring January 30 (which falls on Monday) as a non-working holiday in the country.

During 1994 Miss Universe pageant, it was held at approximately 8:00 in the beautiful morning in the Philippines.

Kylie Verzosa and her Lovely Lobster Gown

Here's a little fashion trivia on Miss International 2016 Kylie Versoza's now infamous "Lobster" gown which a lot of pageant fans poked fun about it..seeing the gown as fashion disaster...ignorantly not realizing the high profile background of it's inspiration.

In the 1930s, Wallis Simpson (Duchess of Windsor, an American socialite. Wife of Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII) was a frequent subject of Cecil Beaton’s photographs.
Before Wallis's marriage to the Duke of Windsor in May 1937, Cecil Beaton was asked to take some official photographs of the bride-to-be at the Château de Candé, where she was staying as a guest. Since many of the past photographs of Simpson were unflattering, Beaton had a bright idea and suggested more romantic-looking pictures, including an image of her standing in the château’s garden wearing the SCHIAPARELLI LOBSTER DRESS.

The infamous lobster dress was a design collaboration with Salvador Dalí that grew out of the lobsters that started appearing in the artist’s work in 1934. Beaton took almost a hundred photographs during the session with Simpson, and Vogue devoted an eight-page spread to the results.
This Lobster dress is said to be a high fashion dress that only socialite women can wear. So for those who are curious and criticizing why our Miss International wore a lobster dress during in her presscon, this info will help a lot..And since Kylie is Miss International, a Japan based Org, expect for a more simple yet elegant dress that our Queen will wear during her reign.
