In the pre-pageant competitions, she also placed first runner-up in the People’s Choice, Miss Bikini, and Head to Head Challenge.
The 28-year-old rose above the 50 women who competed at the 48th edition of the Albania-based international beauty pageant. Runners-up were Nigeria’s bet Esther Gabriel, Turkey’s Melike Bali, Venezuela’s Jhosskaren Carrizo Smiler, and Canada’s Hailey Hamelin-Wilson respectively.
Montagne is a successor of Miss Globe 2020 Lorinda Kolgeci, 22, of Kosovo. Philippine candidate Rowena Sasaluya, on the other hand, was the fourth runner-up and won the People’s Choice Award that year. Meanwhile, Ann Lorraine Colis is the last Filipina to win the title in 2015.
Filipino fashion designer Patrick Isorena created Montagne’s intricately-designed “Sampaguita” costume for the National Costume competition.
