Mac Duggal Pageant Coordinator Antoinette Romero commented on Mac Duggal pageant-to-prom versatility, "prom styles draw inspiration from award winning pageant styles. For example, Miss Peru Universe selected a one shoulder, fully beaded, illusion styled gown as her Official Competition Gown for Miss Universe.  This dress, which won Global Beauties 'Best Evening Gown Award' at Miss Universe has inspired many prom dresses this year that feature the 'illusion style'.  For girls that want to amp the sex appeal in their prom dress, illusion styles will grace proms across the world ".
