HONG KONG, China (The Adobo Chronicles, Hong Kong Bureau) – Beauty queens can never let go of that crowning moment when they were proclaimed the most beautiful in the world. Or the universe.

In a rare public appearance together, former Miss Universes Pia Wurtzbach (2015) and Catrion Gray (2018) posed for fans and the news media to reminisce their respective queenly reign.

Wurtzbach crowned Gray, but critics said it should have been the other way around. Many will recall that before Wurtzbach was crowned, Miss Colombia was declared the new Miss Universe because of an error in the announcement. They said it would have been more symbolic and accurate if Gray crowned Wurtzbach in the reenactment.

Nevertheless, the whole photo op was a sham because only Gray was there in person. It turns out Wurtzbach was a mere wax figure.

It all happened at the Madam Tussauds wax museum in Hong Kong!
