Almost one week after the 72nd Miss Universe Competition in El Salvador, pageant organizers announced on Friday, Nov. 24, Miss Universe Philippines Michelle Dee as the winner of Best in National Costume.

Miss Universe made the official announcement on social media on Friday. Organizers said fans on the official Miss Universe app chose the winner.

This is the fourth special award for Michelle in the competition. Earlier, she won Voice for Change, Spirit of Carnival (presented by pageant sponsor Carnival Cruise), and the Miss Universe app fan vote.

The full announcement:

"And the National Costume Winner is… Michelle Dee! Chosen by the fans on our official Miss Universe app, Philippines is taking home the costume vote for this incredible outfit!

"A look back at the script of the National Costume Show as Michelle took the stage;

“It’s a bird, it’s a plane...it’s the Philippines! Crowned with a captain’s hat, this costume is a salute to the delegate’s role as an Air Force reservist. The look is representative of her country – resilient and radiant. There’s no denying she’s the queen of flying ... in the Philippines. Congratulations @michelledee"

Michael Barrasi, who created Michelle's national costume, was grateful for the recognition. He wrote:

"In the grand tapestry of the Philippines comes a National costume as stunning as its archipelago. Behold, Sergeant Michelle Marquez Dee, Miss Universe Philippines, adorned in the nation’s pride and heritage.

With each thread woven into the “solihiya” pattern, an iconic design used in the tropics of the Philippines, it embraces her body flawlessly — unfolding the story of the islands’ unity and artistry.

"Rising from her back, her wings bear the colors of the Philippine flag and a mural of its most breathtaking sights while parading the country’s official tourism slogan: #LoveThePhilippines.

"Crowned with a captain’s hat, this is a salute to her role as an Air Force reservist and to our boundless adventures awaiting in the skies! This National Costume represents the Philippines — resilient, radiant, and ready to embrace the Universe! “
