Bea Millan-Windorski has officially started her runway training for the Miss Universe 2026 pageant.
The Philippines' representative is being mentored by pasarela coach Ian Mendajar, with the guidance of Miss Universe Philippines (MUPH) president Jonas Gaffud.
"Every session is designed to refine Bea's technique, stage presence, and overall performance — ensuring that every step is purposeful as she prepares to represent the Philippines on the Miss Universe stage," MUPH said as it gave the public a glimpse of her journey to the crown.
Here's a look:
Mendajar, founder of Kembot Studios, was also Millan-Windorski's trainer during her MUPH stint.
In a previous interview with ABS-CBN News, the pasarela coach commended the beauty queen's humility and willingness to learn.
"She really told me that she had to work with her pasarela," Mendajar shared. "She even said, 'I'm kinda confident with my Q&A, but with my pasarela, no.'"
Millan-Windorski is set to represent the country in this year's Miss Universe pageant, which will be held in Puerto Rico in November.
She is aiming for the fifth crown after Catriona Gray (2018), Pia Wurtzbach (2015), Margie Moran (1973), and Gloria Diaz (1969).
