Madame Stella Marquez Araneta has reacted to the issue about Mary Jean Lastimosa's much-criticized Colombian-designed evening gown and national costume at the Miss Universe 2014 preliminaries.
Filipino pageant fans are furious over the statement made by Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) chairman Stella Marquez Araneta, aired on TV Patrol Weekend last night, January 24, 2015.
Reporter Ginger Conejero, who's covering the Miss Universe 2014 in Miami, asked Madame Stella about the reason why a Colombian designer, and not a Filipino, made Mary Jean Lastimosa's national costume which was heavily criticized by netizens, but the Colombian lady just made herself even more controversial with her statement.
Just like our previous Miss Universe reps, MJ's gown and costume were designed by Colombian fashion designer Alfredo Barraza, a good friend of Madam Stella.
According to what Madame Stella said on TV Patrol, the reason why she's been choosing designs from abroad is because the Filipino designs presented to her weren't good enough for our candidates.
"If I didn't do it for several years, it's because the designs that were given to us were no good enough for our candidates. That's the reason I went abroad," Madame Araneta told Conejero.

Whew! I can't really believe she said that. I find it insulting to the talented and world-class fashion designers we have.
And with that, it seems that Madame Stella is the kind of woman who will stand by her choice no matter the criticisms are, and so, Mary Jean Lastimosa is most likely wearing on tomorrow's finals the same white gown that she wore during the prelims.
