Binibining Pilipinas 2020 national costume review

www.rappler.com: Last January 22, 2021, the Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. formally restarted the Bb. Pilipinas 2020 pageant through the National Costume Photo Exhibit Virtual Launch, hosted by Bb. Pilipinas International 2019 Patch Magtanong. For several weeks, a candidates’ national costume portrait photographed by Raymond Saldaña was posted daily on the Bb. Pilipinas social media accounts. Mrs. Stella Araneta, BPCI Chairperson, also announced that the Bb. Pilipinas Coronation night will be on April 17, 2021.

Although I am not a costume designer, I found all of these costumes to be absolutely stunning! I do think, though, that the red and blue lighting used behind the models to take these photos washed out some of the colors used. For example, there was a lady in a red costume (bb. 35) where her entire costume was washed out by the lighting. It almost seemed as if her costume wasn’t even there. It did not have that pop that a costume should have onstage. This also happened with a lot of the purple and gold costumes. They seemed to be washed away by the blue and red light. I guess this is a lesson in colors, though. You normally want your actors to be wearing complementary colors of the lights as opposed to the same or similar colors. This also might have been the photography, but I had a hard time understanding the texture of each costume, too. It seemed like that each costume had a different feel to it but it was difficult to tell what it actually was or felt like. I would be curious to understand if this was just my imagination playing tricks on me or something to do with the photography.
