"I feel like I'm a Victoria's Secret angel right now," she said.

Mateo's costume was created by the late designer Rocky Gathercole and jewelry designer Manny Halasan.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Halasan described the beauty queen's outfit as "avant-garde and modern."

Mateo is gearing up for the May 16 finals night (morning of May 17 in Manila), as she eyes the fifth Miss Universe crown for the country.

She is the first representative under Miss Universe Philippines, which is headed by Miss Universe 2011 third runner-up Shamcey Supsup and beauty queen maker Jonas Gaffud.

The 69th Miss Universe competition will be aired live on A2Z channel.
