Film actress and comedienne Ai-Ai delas Alas aired her frank comments about the gowns of the Miss World 2019 winners in her Instagram post last September 16, Monday.
Ai-Ai questioned why most of the candidates wore slit gowns during the coronation night which she described as “weird”.
“Ms world 2019 .. ( CONGRATULATIONS sa MGA NANALO) nanood ako kahapon d ko lang natapos kasi kailngan ko gumising ng maaga may work ako .. isa lang ang hindi ako maka move on bakit parang lahat ng GOWN ng contestants may slit either sa kanan or sa kaliwa na mala catriona ( etong pic dba lahat sila labas yung hita nila ) mga 80 % ng gown ganun bakit? Iba iba naman ang designer .. basta wierd talaga.
The actress added that the slit gowns seemed inappropriate for the candidates unlike Catriona Gray who wore it perfectly during the Miss Universe 2019 pageant.
“Yung ibang gown tuloy parang hindi lumabas na maganda kasi d naman swak yung may slit parang ipinipilit lang lagyan — iba kasi yung kay catriona talagang swak yung dating sa kanya …dito parang nakakalito…#sawalo6angmayslit #nakakalitonggown #lahatnalangmayslit #pwedenamangwalanon,” she wrote.

Some netizens agreed with her observation that the candidates lacked elegance while using the gowns with slits.
“Yun na nga ang nasa isip ko para silang mga boldstar ang dating hindi nakakaelegante.”
Michelle Dee, the daughter of iconic beauty queen Melanie Marquez, was crowned as the Miss World Philippines 2019 on Sunday, September 15 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, outshining the other 39 other candidates. She will represent the Philippines during the Miss World 2019 this December.
