When a former supermodel steps into the role of mother of the bride, you know she’s going to deliver a fashion moment. Apples Aberin did just that at her daughter Sam Sadhwani’s wedding to Mico Clavano, proving that mother-of-the-bride style can be anything but predictable.

LOOK: Apples Aberin's Mother-of-the-Bride Look by Dennis Lustico
While Sam stunned in a strapless wedding gown with a voluminous skirt, Apples made her own sartorial statement in a custom Dennis Lustico creation that redefined wedding guest elegance.

Apples' gown, a delicate latte-hued number, featured a sheer gauze overlay adorned with organza patches intricately beaded to form malunggay leaves—a poetic nod to life and growth. The Filipino designer added soft satin ribbons that cascaded down the sides, giving the look an effortless fluidity.

Apples, who has long been a style icon in the industry, carried the look with her signature poise. “I received a lot of messages asking who made my dress for Mico and Sam’s wedding,” she shared on Instagram, expressing her admiration for Dennis' artistry. “It’s made of a fine tulle-like material with a mocha-colored underlay, and embellished with organza patches that were beaded with what I’d like to think of as branches from the tree of life (they’re actually malunggay leaves).”

Dennis himself described Apples’ look in his own words, calling it a "not-so-MoB (mother of the bride) gown made of gauze and malunggay appliqués." The unconventional yet sophisticated design perfectly suited Apples' modern yet timeless style.
