Miss USA R’Bonney Gabriel of Friendswood returns to Houston Life!

Monday on Houston Life, Miss USA R’Bonney Gabriel will join Derrick and Courtney in the studio.

Gabriel was recently crowned the new Miss USA. See Derrick and Courtney’s reaction to her win in the video above.

In July, she was crowned Miss Texas USA and became the first Filipina American woman to win the state competition.

The Friendswood native wears many other hats along with her pageant crown. She is a fashion designer and owns her own clothing brand “R’BONNEY NOLA.” Her garments are made eco-consciously and she uses recycled fabrics from pre-existing clothing, scraps, and other sustainable materials.

In the Miss USA pageant in Reno, Nevada, she wore an evening gown she designed and was prompted to answer a question about climate change.

“In a lot of ways, the art of designing clothes reflects life; it’s challenging, unexpected, and beautiful,” she previously said on “Houston Life” on KPRC 2.

Her work doesn’t stop there. R’Bonney is also a sewing instructor for Magpies & Peacocks, Inc., which is a non-profit dedicated to stopping waste in the fashion industry by reusing products.

R’Bonney will compete in the Miss Universe pageant in January 2023. It will be held in New Orleans. To hear more of her story in the pageant world and how she’s navigating the fashion industry, watch the video below.

Meet R’ Bonney Gabriel, the first Filipina American woman to win Miss Texas USA, and she will represent the lone star state in the next Miss USA Pageant.
