“If I were to be a superhero, I would have this beautiful Elektra-fying blue look from Mamshie Cielo and Mama Florenz, and my character name would be Azul hehe,” she wrote.
“This look is a 2.0, decade later reboot of the photoshoot way back in 2012 with my BBP sisters taken by the amazing @sevenbarretto (Seven Barretto) for Metro Magazine,” Katrina added.
The 28-year-old television host had joined the beauty pageant in 2012, but was not able to represent the country in Miss Tourism Queen International that year since it was canceled.
