Catriona Gray’s now-iconic “Lava Walk” has become a pageant sensation. At the recently-concluded Miss Intercontinental 2018 grand coronation, local pageant fans spotted two candidates attempting to perform their own take on Miss Universe 2018’s pasarela.
Netizens have already made comments on Miss Vietnam, Ngan Anh Au Le, who nearly replicated Catriona’s evening gown performance from Miss Universe 2018.
One pageant fan asked, “Is it ‘inspired’ or ‘imitated’?”
Another fan pointed out that Miss Thailand, Ingchanok Prasart, who stepped out before Miss Vietnam during the evening gown round, seemed to have also been inspired by Catriona’s “Lava Walk.”
This time, the Thai beauty queen appeared to try her own version of the slow-mo turn.
What do you guys think?

“Bago naging #PepitoManaloto, #TropangTrumpo dati ang Sabado ko. Sino nakaka-alala nito?”
“Battle of the Brainless” is one of the popular segments in Tropang Trumpo, which is a parody of RPN-9’s game show, Battle of the Brains.
Pepito Manaloto is Michael V.’s weekly sitcom on GMA-7.
