MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): Michelle Dee’s flamboyant performance during the Miss Universe Philippines’ evening gown competition was inspired by her mother, Melanie Marquez, whose signature 'S” walk clinched her Miss International crown in 1979.

During the pageant, Dee sashayed in her elegant asymmetrical black dress by Mark Bumgarner, going from one side of the stage to the other before stopping in the middle and doing a quick turn, all while serving a fierce look to her audience.
