Heart Evangelista and Chiz Escudero
As what the country’s prime fashionista has written in her Instagram caption, it’s in couture—and true love—that we trust. Making their comeback at this year’s gala, the couple was dressed to the nines in their ensembles from Schiaparelli and Dior.
Bea Alonzo and Dominic Roque
Unlike the free-flowing nature of their platonic-turned-romantic story, Bea and Dom were a vision of structured elegance in their ensembles from AZ Factory and Mark Bumgarner, respectively. Surely, their first public appearance as an engaged couple was a sight to behold.
Bianca Umali and Ruru Madrid
Donning timeless styles in gold and black, lovers Bianca and Ruru added a touch of elevated edge to their looks through texture. The actress wore a peletted Joe San Antonio creation, while the Lolong star went for a leather Anthony Ramirez.
Kyline Alcantara and Mavy Legaspi
Subtle standouts of the night are Kyline and Mavy who needed no sparkle to shine at the red carpet. Both in Jacquemus, they resembled a horizon where the sun and sea meet with Mavy’s yellow suit and Kyline’s shell-like dotted appliqué gown.
Mikee Quintos and Paul Salas
Red and pink do go well together, and so do Mikee and Paul. While the actor opted for a muted Ryan Chris shade, the actress went for a bold red number by Anthony Ramirez.
Julie Anne San Jose and Rayver Cruz
Just because it’s muted, doesn’t mean it can’t shine as proven by the multitalented pair. Julie Anne donned a Mak Tumang embellished lavender gown with off-shoulder flowing sleeves. Meanwhile, Rayver rocked a Ryan Chris suit playing around with black and white shades.
Gabbi Garcia and Khalil Ramos
Gabbi and Khalil always give an old school love vibe in their formal ensembles, and this year’s gala was no exception. While the Unbreak My Heart star donned a mermaid persona with a Martin Bautista netted and fringed creation, Khalil was her dapper Prince Eric in Ziggy Savella suit.
Megan Young and Mikael Daez
Boneezy and Fofo polished up real nice at the gala last night with their Francis Libiran creations that contrasted well with each other. Megan‘s foiled golden frock with swirls and pleats was a nice match to Mikael‘s double-breasted suit.
Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo
It was a glamorous date night for the parents, and their ensembles indeed exuded an old Hollywood style. Jennylyn’s crystal-crusted green frock was made by Anthony Ramirez, while Dennis went for a Rodel Briñas velvet suit.
Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes
It felt like we were witnessing GMA’s prime real-turned-real couple wedding all over again clad in their simple yet standout numbers. Marian’s unbeatable ethereal beauty radiated in that Danielle Frankel pleated and floral-laced piece. Meanwhile, Dingdong approached a matching floral detail with his wife in a Tom Ford suit with a black floral boutonniere.
Annette Gozon-Valdes and Shintaro Valdes
Of course, the occasion wouldn’t have been complete without GMA Senior Vice President Annette Gozon-Valdes and her husband, Shintaro Valdes. It was all about the details for the GMA exec with the backless effect and bowed sleeve hems of her Chris Nick gown at the gala.
