Chelsea Manalo did not pass up on doing the “Hi Barbie” trend with her fellow Miss Universe beauties.

In the reigning Miss Universe Philippines queen’s latest TikTok, she could be seen waving at the representatives from Guinea, Bahrain, and Canada.

“Hi Barbie,” the audio from the hit live action “Barbie” movie said, followed by chimes of greetings of “Hi Barbie.”

All beauty queens in the video were wearing pink and denim dresses.

She will vie for the country’s fifth Miss Universe crown on the coronation night on November 16 (November 17, Philippine time). The Preliminary and National Costume competitions are set for November 14.

The 25-year-old won the Miss Universe Philippines 2024 crown in May, making her the first Filipino-Black American candidate to ever win the national title.
