In beauty pageants, even the most polished moments can sometimes go off-script. This was hilariously the case during the Miss Universe Philippines 2024 coronation night, where Chelsea Manalo & Michelle Dee became the meme stars.

Chelsea Manalo & Michelle Dee shared a laugh-worthy accident that quickly became a meme. During the crowning moment, Michelle Dee placed the crown on Chelsea’s head, but it didn’t sit quite right. Reflecting on the moment during an interview on “Unang Hirit,” Chelsea couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s so funny, I can’t believe I made it to the memes,” she said.

Chelsea explained, “When Michelle put the crown on my head, it had weight, so I didn’t feel like it was gonna fall. I felt like it was already sturdy until I had to turn.” However, Michelle quickly adjusted it, ensuring that the final pictures turned out perfectly.

The two beauty queens have taken the incident in stride. “We laughed about it,” Chelsea shared. “I think she was also tense, she was nervous, this was her last night, she wanted to just give her best, to really give that crown to the next Miss Universe Philippines.”

Michelle Dee, known for her humor, also poked fun at herself on social media. She shared screenshots of the moment on X, humorously captioning it, “MICHELLE ANO BA,” along with laughing emojis. Her playful approach added to the light-hearted nature of the incident.

Adding to the fun, former Miss Universe Philippines 2013 Ariella Arida joined in on Instagram, joking that Chelsea’s first task as a queen was to “know how to balance.”

The crowning moment, though slightly imperfect, has shown the grace and poise of Chelsea Manalo & Michelle Dee. Beyond the humor, it emphasized their ability to handle unexpected moments with charm and a good laugh.
