Michelle Dee takes her fashion seriously. The newly crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2023 is known for her daring looks and for delighting many pageant fans with her creative styling and Filipino designer wardrobe. Even during her downtime, Michelle’s outfits are thrilling. Her street style looks are as varied as her pageant and red carpet ensembles.

Rather than being tied to one style, Michelle leans into the transformative aspect of dressing. Above all, what we love about her is that she always dresses in Filipino fashion. Her go-to designers such as Mark Bumgarner, Chris Nick, Just Bonita, and more, have collaborated with her for many events.

In a moment when days can bleed into each other and feel monotonous, her capricious experimentation offers lessons on how to use fashion as a confidence booster.

In the gallery down below, we rounded up all the reasons why Michelle Dee was our style queen first before she became our new Miss Universe Philippines.
