As we wait for the 13th of May, we’re already seeing which candidate holds style in their hands after gracing the stage in their exquisite looks.
Krishnah Gravidez in Rian Fernandez
It was a sight for the lovers of vintage as Krishnah Gravidez walked the stage in a modern iteration of the art deco fashion. The sparkling piece had an elegant finish to it as the the neckline had a dainty plunge while tiers of crystal embellishments made their way down from the bust to the hemline—creating a minimalist yet striking look for the candidate.
Pauline Amelinckx in Furne One
Pauline Amelinckx may have opted to go for a timeless form, but it was the finishing that truly made her overall look a showstopper. The square neckline was heavily embellished with rhinestones but was perfectly balanced with the intricate beading that cascaded from the bust, seams, down to the hemline while a sheer fabric was used to highlight them.
Michelle Dee in Mark Bumgarner
Always one for the classics, Michelle Dee had a form-fitting silhouette that never goes out of style. While her gown was decorated with crystals from head to toe, simple detailing such as the crisscross on the torso, as well as the vertical finishing seen on the bust elevated her gown even more.
Angelique Manto in Jaggy Glarino
The content creator candidate never fails to surprise us with her fashion statements, and her evening gown lived up to her personal style. Angelique Manto’s black gown was daring and modern as cutouts went down from the neckline, across the torso, and the hips. A sheer fabric was added by the high slit, which gave her overall look a nice sultry touch.
Samantha Panlilio in Rian Fernandez
Simplistic from afar yet daring once you take a good look at the Rian Fernandez creation since Samantha Panlilio opted for a body-hugging gown, but it were the various hues that made her look worth noting. Beads in dark shades of blue made their way around the neckline down to her knees, before subtle hints of orange and white were seen around the bodice and skirt.
