The Miss Universe Philippines organization has released Miss Universe-Philippines 2022 titleholder Celeste Cortesi’s official headshot.

The photo, made available via Instagram Thursday, sees the 24-year old Filipino-Italian beauty queen from Pasay looking all-too fierce, ready.

The organization wrote, “The Miss Universe season is upon us! Here’s the official headshot of Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Celeste Cortesi.” 

It went on to urge fans, “Show support for our candidate in the 71st Miss Universe Competition by heading over to the link in our bio to vote.”

“Let’s make our Miss Universe dreams come true, Philippines,” it added.

The pageant will be held January next year in New Orleans.
