MANILA, Philippines – It was a dream that became reality.
Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray took to Instagram late Monday evening, December 17 to share how her winning the crown wasn't just her dream – it was literally once her mother Normita's too.
"When I was 13, my mum told me 'Honey, I dreamt of you winning [Miss Universe] in a red dress.' At that time, I thought nothing of it, and today my mother's dream came true," she said.
Normita and her father Ian were in Thailand to support her. A video of them reacting to her win has since gone viral.
During the competition, Catriona wore a red "Mayon" gown designed by Mak Tumang with accessories by Tessera jewelry. She later went on to bag the title, becoming the 4th Filipina to do so.

She also also said it was an honor to have carried the flag of the Philippinrs in the competition, as she offered everything to God for the victory .
"Lord God, I lift everything up to you – to glorify and honour. Philippines, what an amazing honor it has been to carry your name across my chest and to embody you in all aspects. I may now carry the sash of Miss Universe, but I'll forever be your Miss Philippines."
She also thanked her team including Jearson Demavivas, catwalk instructor Carlos Buendia Jr, shoe designer Jojo Bragais, stylist Ton Lao, friends, and family.
