Pia Wurtzbach Wears Oliver Tolentino for Miss Universe 2015 Evening Gown Preliminary Competition

Images courtesy of Jory Rivera


Due to typhoon Nona, Albert Andrada was not able to board his flight to the USA last Tuesday. Albert was supposed to bring two evening gowns for Pia to choose from for the Miss Universe 2015 preliminary event. To save the day, Pia's mentor, Jonas Gaffud, went to his back-up plan and contacted Los Angeles-based Filipino designer, Oliver Tolentino, who was already vacationing in Aspen. Tolentino immediately instructed his staff to rush several gowns to Las Vegas after receiving the news.

Hopefully, if Pia makes it to the final round, she will be wearing an Albert Andrada evening gown. Good luck, Pia!

      Accdg sa nabasa ko hindi talaga yan ang gown ni Pia kundi ang gown na nabili ni Madam via online kasi ang frend nyang basura ayaw na ng gumawa ng gown for Ph. Kaso ung nabiling gown masyadong malaki for Pia. 24hrs na lang prelim na. So si Jonas of A n Q naghanap ng tulong kay Oliver... nagpadala sya ng gowns to rescue Pia's prelim. Pumayag na rin si Madam na filipino designed gown ang gamitin nya. Kea ngayon lang nakarating ang gown nya.

    Acht. That would have been so disappointing for Mr Andrada, as it's sure he had put a lot of love and effort for those gowns. Force Majeure. Well, still, good luck for Pia. Hope these replacement gowns help her achieve the winning look. Oliver Tolentino's haute couture gowns in his website are beautiful.

    Thank goodness Jonas Gaffud and Aces & Queens had the initiative to call Oliver Tolentino to ask for help. Pia would've worn another Barraza creation (which was said to be 6 sizes bigger than Pia's size 2 frame) that Madam Stella initially insisted that Pia should wear since the Albert Andrada evening gown she was supposed to use didn't make it due to unforeseen delays in Albert's flight to Las Vegas last Tuesday, December 15. As for the Oliver Tolentino gown, it was the gown the Pia chose out of the 9 gowns he sent to Las Vegas for her to try. It looked perfect onstage, she looked very regal in it. Loved the hairstyle done on her hair. Just a little adjustment on the waist area and the neckline (make it deeper to emphasize her twin assets) of the gown and it will be perfect. Pia will still use the Albert Andrada gown during pageant night.
