VANESSA CARO and GLORIA DIAZ The Look-a-like

 VANESSA CARO  and GLORIA DIAZ

DOPPELGĀNGER or DÉJÀ VU ?

Doppelgänger in German means double walker or who is biologically unrelated look-alike, or a double, of a living person while déjà vu is a French word expressing the feeling that one has lived through the present situation before.

Many friends been telling me Vanessa Caro, Miss U Ph 2022 Iloilo Province, looks like Gloria Diaz, the first Miss Universe winner from the Philippines. Vanessa is unconscious about it. They have the same pouty lips, the same nose shape, shape of eyes, same jet black straight hair, same smile and the prominent intellectual looking forehead. Most of all, Vanessa talks like Gloria Diaz--sharp, witty, wise. We all have our look-alike in life. Who is yours? A celebrity? A friend? A neighbor? Isn't it fun?

Vanessa Caro has the same exotic and Asian feature as Miss Gloria Diaz 

Vanessa Caro striking resemblance to Miss Gloria Diaz- the shape of eyes, nose and lips. Both have long straight hair. Their smile also is also similar.  

Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz and Miss Iloilo Dinagyang 2016. Vanessa is as eloquent as Miss Diaz  in smartness and wisdom.

Imagine  the iconic Marilyn Monroe in Iloilo hablon as her skirt was blown away by the New York City steam. Miss Universe Ph 2022 Iloilo Province  Vanessa Caro went to school in New York City and here is  her local version today  of that famous pose in the past.

Vanessa wears an individually hand-cut hablon foliage dress  by Ilonggo designer Hector Totong Gellangarin who meticulously and graphically engineered this haute-couture  piece which when opened  forms a flower petal. He who also designed the exquisite Iloilo  "patadyong" clutch for Vanessa.

VANESSA CARO Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Iloilo Province wears HABLON

FILIPINA BEAUTY. Did you know that while Vanessa has multi-ethnicities coming from  Hawaiian- Portuguese- Chinese- Spanish   heritage, she looks more Filipina and Asian? The first Filipina Miss Universe Gloria Diaz look-alike Vanessa Caro is Miss Universe Ph 2022 Iloilo Province. 

Vanessa does her own make-up, too! Well, apart from being a good not-so-easy-to-perform Polynesian  dancer, she sings so well also. And can beat anyone in marathons.
