Beauty pageant enthusiasts are celebrating a heartwarming reunion as Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray recently connected with her fellow queens, Emma Strandberg and Helena Heuser!

The Filipina-Australian beauty queen shared snapshots of their delightful meet-up in the picturesque streets of Stockholm, Sweden, on her Instagram. Even dressed casually, the trio exuded elegance, transforming the city sidewalks into their own glamorous runway.

Catriona affectionately captioned her post, “From World to Universe and beyond, a friendship that’s spanned 8 years and counting! Reunited with my loves Emma Strandberg and Helena Heuser.”

Fans swiftly filled the comments section with expressions of affection and excitement, overjoyed to witness the beautiful reunion of these queens after several years.

Adding to the heartwarming moments, Catriona also shared a muted video on her Instagram Stories capturing their joyful embrace and excited squeals. She playfully wrote, “Muted the squeals hahaha.”

The delightful get-together gained even more sparkle as TV host Nicole Cordoves later joined the group. The stunning women spent their day appreciating Stockholm’s scenic beauty and savoring tasty treats.

Catriona’s connection with Emma and Helena traces back to her participation in Miss World 2016, where she achieved an impressive Top 5 finish. While the crown eluded her then, she made a triumphant return in 2018, ultimately winning the coveted Miss Universe title.  

Beyond her reign as a beauty queen, Catriona remains an inspiring figure through her role as an ambassador for the National Commission for Culture and the Arts and her dedicated charity work.
