As Miss Charm Philippines, Gravidez was eligible to be the country's delegate to the Miss Charm 2024 pageant in Vietnam. Amid uncertainties in the pageant, she announced her withdrawal on June 2, 2024, more than a year after her designation.[15] A day following her withdrawal, Gravidez was introduced as part of the second set of candidates for Miss World Philippines 2024, designated as the delegate of Baguio. In an interview with The Philippine Daily Inquirer, Gravidez said that she had been tapped by the pageant's accredited partner for Baguio to represent the city in the national pageant in April 2024.
Gravidez won four special awards in the charity gala held on July 18. The pageant was held the following day at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, where she would win all three major awards—Miss Photogenic, Best in Swimsuit, and Best in Evening Gown—and seven special awards from the pageant's sponsors. Gravidez advanced to the top 20 through winning the Top Model and Miss Multimedia fast track challenges. She progressed to the top ten question and answer portion, where she was asked, "Should inclusivity be a top priority among pageants? Yes or no? Explain your answer". In her answer, she noted the role of pageants as platforms for advocacies and stated that humans must adapt to an evolving world.
