Emma Tiglao moved from the pageant stage to the runway as she wore the couture creations of Filipino designers at New York Fashion Week (NYFW).
The reigning Miss Grand International opened the NYFW show of Leo Almodal, sparkling on the runway in an opulent, crystallized gown with giant wings and a headdress.
Rian Fernandez, who designed Tiglao's winning gown in Miss Grand International, also presented his masterpieces in NYFW.
Serving as the designer's muse once more, Tiglao brought her signature elegance as she closed the fashion show in a white dress paired with a floor-length cape.
Tiglao, who became the Philippines' second Miss Grand International titleholder in 2025, is no stranger to Fashion Week events.
Earlier this year, she made her debut in Milan Fashion Week in Italy as Almodal's muse. She also attended the Bangkok International Fashion Week in Thailand right after winning the crown.
