Pia Wurtzbach’s royal blue gown draws inspiration from country’s natural wonders

Pia Wurtzbach's royal blue gown draws inspiration from the Philippines' natural wonders. This royal blue, figure-hugging, strapless serpentina gown made the people watching all over the world utter the word WOW!!! By the words of the designer himself, Albert Andrada:

•My Inspiration for Pia's evening gown is all about "The Pearl of the Orient". The mermaid gown has a very simple front because I want Pia's beautiful face to shine. The back reveals opulent details of sun rays made of beads, sequins and crystals, which represent the sun rising in the middle of a serene blue sea.

•Tiny sapphire colored crystals are mixed with the beadwork and cascade towards the front of the gown, representing beautiful sands of our beaches. Made of silk gazaar, the gown has a hem of draped multiple folds at the back, which are like fins of the different beautiful fishes found in Philippine waters.

•The color blue represent the tranquility of the deep blue Philippine seas as well, as a tribute to Pia's queenly beauty. Blue was also her choice of color to wear to Miss Universe.
