Patuloy ang pagsasanay at paghahanda ni Miss Universe Philippines 2024 Chelsea Anne Manalo para sa nalalapit na pagsali niya sa 73rd Miss Universe na magaganap sa Nobyembre 16, 2024, sa Arena CDMX, Mexico City, Mexico.
Sabik na si Chelsea na maipakita sa mga Pilipino ang kanyang National Costume na pinagtulung-tulungang ginawa ng mga fashion designers, sa pangunguna ni Manny Halasan, na siya ring gumawa ng kanyang mga kasuotan nang lumahok at manalo siya sa Miss Universe Philippines noong Mayo 22, 2024.
Ang kuwento niya sa Cabinet Files, "I am already talking to the designers. It’s gonna be a collaborative work, so I am really excited for the Filipino fans and from all over the universe to see the national costume I will be wearing."
CHELSEA GETS TIPS FROM FROM FORMER MISS UNIVERSE QUEENS
Masaya si Chelsea dahil sa suporta at mga payo sa kanya ng mga dating beauty queens, gaya nina Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, at mga kapwa niya kandidata sa Miss Universe Philippines 2024.
"I did get a lot of advice from one of my idols, Miss Pia Wurtzbach, and also from Gazini Ganados, Bea Gomez, Catriona Gray, and, of course, all the other queens behind my back in the Miss Philippines journey.
"The journey, when I was still a candidate for Miss Universe Philippines, merong support naman akong nakukuha from my co-candidates.
"Now that I am competing for Mexico, I still get some messages from them. It’s not just the support, but to kind of like engaged with them, be with them is also a training ground for me, so I won’t feel too much pressure or distress, but to rather have fun."

Ang madalas daw na ipayo kay Chelsea ng mga dating Philippine candidates sa Miss Universe: Enjoy her journey.
At ito ang gagawin niya pagdating sa Mexico sa Nobyembre 2024.
"To just have fun,” ang sabi ni Chelsea na dinugtungan niya ng, "I mean it’s still a competition, but it’s a competition within myself, so during the whole process, I will just enjoy it, savor the moment kasi it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
"Time will come that pressure will kick in, but at the end of the day, we will still have fun.”
