Star Magic Ball 2010

Once again, it is time for the Star Magic ball. For us Filipinos, it's that time every year (Okay, so it`s only on its 4th year, but it`s become an annual thing now) where we turn on our TVs to watch out local celebrities walk the red carpet. It was only last year that the event caught my attention. Gorgeous gowns, photographers everywhere, red carpet- I don`t know why I didn`t take interest in it before! Last year, the gowns were exquisite and I was stunned when I realized these were worn by local celebrities! Fashion really is improving in the country! This year, the dresses were prettier, the ladies more beautiful and the men more dapper.



When it comes to local fashion idols, Anne Curtis is someone I will never forget to mention. She is never afraid to try trends and almost every time, they work for her. At the ball she wore Michael Cinco (Who I think is a genius and whose dresses I dream of wearing). Her gown was gorgeous with such beautiful details. What's questionable is her styling. I am still confused whether I like it or not. I admit I am a fan of the dark lip on the right person, and I think Anne can rock anything, but with this dress, I`m just not so sure. It does match the nails, I`ll give her that. Maybe if the bag matched, it would be a hit? Either way, Anne still looks gorgeous.



I haven`t been hearing enough of Kelly Misa these days. As a pre-teen, I used to idolize her when she graced the spreads of Candy Magazine (my then Bible). Now she is as pretty as ever and as stylish too! This look of her in a dress by Joey Samson just reminded me why I loved her in the first place!


Bea Alonzo is my Dad`s crush. His reason being that she seems like such a nice, simple, polite, down-to-earth girl. Don`t get me wrong, all those are great qualities- in fact if you are any of those, I look up to you! It`s just that she doesn`t strike me as someone who would wow me- but that she totally did! Last year, she was one of my best dressed, but I saw her at a mall once looking not so fabulous and I figured she just got a lucky break. Now I have been proved wrong- either that or she has an amazing stylist. Again, Michael Cinco successfully makes beautiful girls even more beautiful in his creations.


Kim Chiu- hated her before, adore her now! How could I continue loathing her when she shows up in such amazing outfits? This jaw-dropping dress has to be my favorite of the night! It all looks so harmonious- her silver accessories, silver clutch, Furne One Couture dress, and flawless make-up. But back to the dress! OHMYGOD IT IS AMAZING. The intricate details. The sheer bottom. The structure of the bodice. I am salivating. (over the dress and not over Kim`s rumored boob job- although I must say, nice rack!)


If any boy deserved to be on the list, it is John Lloyd Cruz! This isn`t just me being biased. Ever since he dated Liz Uy (My fucking Queen I love her ohmygod), I have noticed he has become so fashyown! Here he is in Lanvin. FUCKING LANVIN. Need I say more? (I am sorry but hot men make me curse) PS. Please forget about that THING beside him. I could not find a nicer solo photo.


Maricar Reyes. I have only been aware of her existence for a short time ( I`m not sure but was she involved in the whole Hayden thing?). In that short period, I have come to know of her as a classy beautiful lady (Props to her if she was in that scandal, she made an amazing image despite it). Here she is in Ezra Couture looking her classy fabulous self!


Maja Salvador in Anthony Ramirez. Adore the neckline! This sheer thing is looking like a trend- a good one too! I am a bit iffy about the lace, but good look all in all!


Lastly, Cristine Reyes and her amazing Francis Libiran gown! Three words: D. I. E. !!!! The skeletal back is to die for! Her make-up and accessories complete the look! I am in such awe. This dress! JUST WOW.

Now I think I have run out of words due to so much beauty! So tell me which was your favorite look? :)
