In anticipation of the long-awaited ABS-CBN Ball 2023, we list down the iconic looks we look forward to seeing from these five young stars, from Andrea Brillantes to Alexa Ilacad
The month of September ends on a high note with the long-anticipated ABS-CBN Ball. After a years-long hiatus, the themed celebration makes a comeback this Saturday, heralding a new chapter. And with part of the proceeds being donated to the ABS-CBN Foundation, we can expect the night to be full of cherished memories for everyone involved. Something else we’ve come to expect from a night such as this are the stunning gowns worn by some of the industry’s brightest stars. For now, we’re putting the spotlight on five young actresses and the styles we expect them to don tomorrow night.

Andrea Brillantes
ABS-CBN Ball 2023 will be the first ball Andrea Brillantes attends without a date, so it should come as no surprise that she’ll be dressed to the nines. To accomplish that, we expect to see this young fashionista dressed in another ethereal Michael Leyva creation. Complete with a plunging sweetheart neckline and embellishments, her ballgown tomorrow is sure to be the best one she’s debuted yet—if the sneak peek is anything to go by. All in all, we expect her ensemble to be able to shine on its own, just like she can.

Maris Racal
Maris Racal is another young star we expect to go all out for the ball. And from the little she has shown in the sneak peek, she will. Whether or not the purple dress she wore in the video is the one she’ll grace the event in, we know we’ll love her gown either way, especially if it’s made by Marc Rancy. In line with the actress’ style this past year, we predict she’ll embody the sultry feminine aesthetic—a complete princess transformation to match the night’s theme paired with a sultry element like a thigh-high slit or sheer fabric for the bodice.
Daniela Stranner
Daniela Stranner is known for her show-stopping looks, so we’re always looking forward to seeing what she’ll wear next. We expect no less from her at tomorrow’s event and predict that the next time she graces the carpet, we’ll see her donning another floor-length gown complete with tasteful cut-outs and glimmering embellishments. And since she seems to be drawn to wearing different bright colors like yellow and violet, we expect her to come to the ABS-CBN Ball 2023 dressed in scarlet hues or in a rich emerald this time.
Francine Diaz
Francine Diaz is sure to make another iconic fashion moment at tomorrow’s event. Given her reputation for combining classic silhouettes with eye-catching adornments, we look forward to seeing another luxurious dress with feathers, sequins, or even a tiered skirt. And since yellow hues suit her complexion so well, proven by her gown for the Star Magical Prom, we expect her dress to be in champagne or white with dazzling gold accents.
Alexa Ilacad
When it comes to Alexa Ilacad, she always enters every scene dressed to impress. Since we love the look of corsets on her and the air of elegance she exudes with them on, we hope to see it make a return tomorrow. Now, imagine that on top of an off-shoulder dress with draping details and a side-leg slit. Whatever Alexa comes out in is sure to look amazing, but we can dream, right?
