Andrea Brillantes and Her BFFs Won Halloween with Their "Mean Girls" Costumes

Get in loser, it's Halloween! Spooky season is upon us and local celebrities have been enjoying dressing up in creepy costumes or jaw-dropping glammed up ensembles. But for Andrea Brillantes and her BFFs Bea Borres, Criza Taa, and Danica Ontengco, this year was all about looking fetch—literally.  

The girl squad broke the internet with their movie-accurate “Mean Girls” costumes that they nailed right down to the promotional poster for the film. To quote Cady from the flick, "In Girl World, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it." And we think the girls captured the campiness and the satirical nature of this line to a T!

We spoke to stylist and creative director Eldzs Mejia about the nostalgic Halloween project and the credit really goes to the girl squad. “The idea really came from the ABCD Girls aka Andrea, Bea, Criza and Danica. Andrea reached out to us and the glam team if we can style this ‘Mean Girls’ inspired photoshoot. Of course, we agreed! They produced the shoot themselves and it was really cute seeing the girls do their own thing,” Eldzs tells Preview. 

Though most of the clothes were sourced from RTW stores and were mixed and matched by Eldzs during the day of the shoot (he describes the entire styling experience as kind of a “playtime” with the girls), Regina George’s “A Little Bit Dramatic” top was custom-made by designer BYCarll. “It only took him two days to stitch that together!” the stylist shares. 

It was also fitting that the group tapped photographer Andrea Beldua to snap their pics, while the glam was done by makeup artist Marben Talanay and hair stylist RJ Dela Cruz. We definitely also have to mention art director and digital artist Merlito Pabatao, who recreated the movie posters with such Hollywood-level accuracy!

 

 

Other than the iconic poster look, Andrea, Bea, Criza and Danica also recreated the Halloween costumes of their characters from the film. Talk about paying tribute to "Mean Girls" in more ways than one!

 

 

Fellow celebrities and influencers quickly flooded Andrea’s comments section with compliments, and were utterly amused with their jaws on the floor because of the entire shoot.

 

“Why are you so obsessed with me?” Andrea captioned on Instagram, as she posed as Regina George holding the Burn Book. With costumes that slay this hard, we totally get why!
