When four super queens reunite, you know it’s about to go down with the memes.
Ever seen the Lady Gaga clip where she showers the interviewer with non-stop praises for ten seconds straight? That was our exact reaction when we saw Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam’s latest cover shoot featuring four of the most-celebrated beauty queens in the Philippines.
Lensed by top photographer BJ Pascual, the shoot was mind-blowing and breathtaking in every aspect. The Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam team couldn’t have chosen better cover stars for their anniversary issue other than Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, Miss International 2016 Kylie Verzosa, Miss World 2013 Megan Young, and Miss Earth 2015 Angelia Ong. A powerhouse all in one frame featuring four different concepts.
Now let’s be real. The Vogue or Pinterest validation is real for any creative individual, but when your work goes viral and has been constantly recreated—especially in the art of memery, that’s when you realize its long-lasting impact. In this case, the Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam cover with the four super queens. Scroll down below for our favorite recreations!
