Kim Chiu
Known for wearing some of the most iconic looks during the previous Star Magic Balls, Chiu opted to wear a Michael Cinco gown for this year’s event.
Chiu definitely slayed in a black ball gown embellished with Swarovski crystals and adorned with hand-painted butterflies all over the skirt.
While donning Cinco’s creation, Chiu also got included in Metro Magazine’s best-dressed list.
James Reid
Another celebrity who wore a Michael Cinco creation at the ABS-CBN Ball was James Reid.
The UAE-based designer previously shared on his Instagram account that he flew all the way to Manila to meet with Reid and take his measurements for the outfit that he will design for the actor to wear during the grand Kapamilya event.
The outfit that Cinco created for Reid is a modern take on the classic suit which featured white studs and leather details.
Maymay Entrata
Maymay Entrata was one of the celebrities who won an award during the program of the ABS-CBN Ball. But before she received the “Belo Beautiful Star Award”, she strutted down the red carpet wearing a gown created by Furne One.
Entrata wore a light pink serpentine gown with a long train. The gown features feather details, as well as intricate beading and embroidery.
Vice Ganda
Comedian Vice Ganda stepped on the red carpet wearing an outfit that got some netizens talking with some of them saying it was a bit “controversial”.
Nevertheless, it seems like Vice Ganda took some inspiration from the theme of the MET Gala 2018 and wore a black Michael Cinco gown with a sweeping cape with hand-painted stained-glass-inspired details and colored Swarovski crystals.
A similar outfit was once worn by international superstar Jennifer Lopez.
Dawn Chang
Dawn Chang wore a stylized neckline that ends up as a waistline-revealing cut-out. The gown was designed by 2017 TFT Fashion Designer of the Year Aldwin Jlo Guardiana.
