Judy Ann Santos just added another trophy to her collection, and she did it in serious style. Over the weekend, the veteran actress took home the Best Actress award at the 2025 Fantasporto International Film Festival in Portugal for her gripping performance in Espantaho—a horror film that’s proving to be just as chilling as it is award-winning. And while her on-screen presence was hauntingly powerful, her off-screen look at the festival was nothing short of commanding.
Judy Ann Santos Wins Best Actress at Fantasporto Wearing a Power Suit
Styled by Studio.24c, Juday arrived at the event in an olive-green pantsuit by Ziggy Savella. The double-breasted blazer featured sharp lapels and a tailored silhouette; a black top peeked out from underneath, adding contrast, while the matching straight-leg trousers created a seamless, ultra-polished ensemble. She completed the look with pointed-toe black heels, proving that power dressing isn’t just about the outfit—it’s about the attitude that comes with it.
Espantaho, which was one of the standout entries at last year’s Metro Manila Film Festival, continues to make waves internationally. The film follows Monet (played by Juday) and her mother Rosa as they navigate the eerie traditions of their patriarch’s wake—only to uncover dark secrets lurking beneath the surface. The film’s local success already earned her a Best Actress win at MMFF 2024, and now, its global impact is solidified with this latest honor.
Accompanied by her husband, Ryan Agoncillo, the actress proudly accepted her award, sharing moments from the night on Instagram.
Congratulations, Juday!
