Kris Tiffany Janson, Bb. #13 like a dream in a pure white terno by designer Cary Santiago
I think it was clear as daylight for pageant fans that Bb. 13 Kris Tiffany Janson would win the Best in National Costume award. The way she looked in that white sampaguita-inspired terno by Cary Santiago! And how she daintily twirled that little parasol! She looked like a living doll that had just stepped off a wedding cake…
Unfortunately, only one winner out of 40 fabulous girls in costume was chosen leaving me wanting more. If I had my way, I would’ve selected a 1st and 2nd runners-up; they would’ve been Bb. 8 Pia Wurtzbach and Bb. 15 Kimverlyn Suiza, respectively.

Pia Wurtzbach’s National Costume, which could also have qualified as an evening gown entry, was a breath-taking Albert Andrada work of art. The way Pia carried it, her styling and emotion on stage made my heart leap a few times.
As for Kimverlyn Suiza (right), her terno, which was designed by Richie Bondoc had this fabulous aristocratic feel that suited Kim’s fabulous aristocratic beauty. She truly belongs to the haute couture set.
Anyway, here are a few more snapshots of Kris Tiffany Janson in her winning National Costume at Bb. Pilipinas 2014:
Notice the semi-sheer skirt? It’s seems to be the trend in pageant costumes nowadays…
The National Costume competition was held at the Araneta Coliseum on March 6, 2014 and the winner was announced on March 23 during the Bb Pilipinas 2014 primer (The Road to the Crown) that aired on ABS-CBN.
Kris Janson… angelic beauty…
