Paolo Ballesteros brought out his inner artist once again with a tikbalang-inspired national costume for Binibining Pilipinas candidate Graciella Lehmann.
The television hot took to Instagram to feature the sketch behind his design for Oriental Mindoro’s bet in the pageant.
The all-white ensemble featured a massive headpiece, resembling the head and mane of a horse, and hoof-like shoes.
“This tikbalang national costume is fashioned with intertwined branches of the Balete tree that forms the horse head and butterfly sleeves, and hugs the body down to its hooves to conceal the creature’s looming presence,” he wrote in the caption of his post.
It was in Monday when Graciella showed a glimpse of her wearing the grand costume.
