Will Leo Almodal design MJ Lastimosa's Miss Universe gown?

Jamie Herrell wore a Leo Almodal creation that brought her to the Miss Earth 2014 crown so when pageant fans/netizens saw Miss Universe Philippines Mary Jean Lastimosa posting for Leo Almodal, they seemed to have a big glimmer of hope that MJ will not be going to Doral, Miami wearing a Barraza creation.

For those of you who do not know Alfredo Barraza, he is a Colombian designer providing the gowns for the international pageants under BPCI. Truth be told, if you would look at other placements we had in Miss Universe you may say that the tacky outfits of Barraza worked well for Venus Raj, Shamcey Supsup, Janine Tugonon and Ariella Arida which gave us 4 consecutive Top 5 placements, but admittedly, our judgment has been it would have been better, especially in the 2012 edition where Tugonon gave Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo a good fight.

Rumors has been that Kris Tiffany Janson will be wearing a Cary Santiago creation and that her handlers had come to terms with BPCI but until then, I would have to wait for Kris' gown as well as of the gown of MJ, if it will be by Almodal, it must be something glamorous.
