We bet that you've already come across the Asoka trend, a viral video format seen on TikTok and Instagram. Another celebrity has hopped on the challenge, and it's none other than Julie Anne San Jose herself, the star of Maria Clara at Ibarra!
What is the Asoka Trend?
Originally inspired by the 2001 Hindi film Asoka, a fictional period drama exhibiting the rich aesthetic of ancient India, the beauty challenge has since been reinvented with a Filipino twist.
The trend sees content creators transitioning into makeup looks and outfits inspired by classic Filipino beauty, or references to Filipino culture and history. While mostly set to the beat of Angeline Quinto's Pinoy pride anthem Piliin Mo Ang Pilipinas, others have used different songs, an example being Marian Rivera's recreation of her iconic character Marimar, soundtracked by the Thalia song of the same name.
