Franki Russel was appointed as Miss Universe New Zealand 2024 on Thursday, March 21. She was sashed by Filipino franchise holder Josh Yugen of the Yugen Group.
Franki was a former housemate of ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother. She didn’t win but eventually landed acting projects after the stint.
Also, her Instagram page shows how physically fit she is to become a beauty queen.
I just don’t know if she will be flying to Mexico from the Philippines or from New Zealand come pageant time.
