R’Bonney Gabriel, 26, a model and fashion designer representing the city of Friendswood, was crowned Miss Texas USA 2022 on July 2nd. She is the first Filipina and the first Asian American to win the state title. Gabriel was first runner-up last year.
For the first time in the history of Texan pageantry, two Filipinas will represent the Lone Star State respectively at Miss USA and Miss America. Averie Bishop, who was crowned last week as Miss Texas 2022, is also
Filipina.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if both women won their respective national titles? That would be epic!
