The 28-year-old beauty queen makes history as the first Filipino-American candidate to win the Miss Universe title. MissUniverse2022
Born to an American mother from Beaumont, Texas and a Filipino father, R’Bonney made history as the first Filipino-American candidate to win the Miss Texas USA, Miss USA, and Miss Universe pageants.R’Bonney shared that her father left Manila for the United States on a college scholarship with “only $20 dollars in his pocket” to “pave a new life for himself.” R’Bonney is the youngest and only girl among four children.
During her Miss Universe pageant stint, R’Bonney collaborated with Filipino designers for her ensembles – her evening gown during the preliminary competition and coronation night were created by Rian Fernandez, while her national costume was made by Patrick Isorena.While it might be a historic win, R’Bonney’s journey to the Miss Universe crown was not easy. In July 2022, R’Bonney participated at the Miss Texas USA pageant again, and this time, she won the title.
“For me, I would like to seen an age increase. Because I am 28 years old, and that is the oldest age to compete. I think it’s a beautiful thing. My favorite quote is, ‘If not now, then when?’ As a woman, I believe age does not define us. It’s not tomorrow, it’s not yesterday, but it’s now. The time is now that you can go after what you want.” Outside the pageant scene, R’Bonney is a fashion designer, model, and sewing instructor.
Aside from being the CEO of her own sustainable clothing line, R’Bonney Nola, she is also the lead sewing instructor at Magpies & Peacock, a Houston based non-profit design house that is known for their dedication to sustainability and community impact. She also teaches sewing classes to women who were victims of human trafficking and domestic violence.
