The holidays have a way of turning our Instagram feeds into a cheerful mix of twinkling lights, family gatherings, and festive outfits. It’s a time when everyone’s creativity shines through, from meticulously decorated Christmas trees to coordinated family pajamas. And this year, stopping us mid-scroll was Belle Mariano, whose The Grinch-themed shoot had us doing a double take. Her take on Cindy Lou Who was a fun throwback to a beloved holiday character and a masterclass in whimsical styling and storytelling.

Belle's stylist, Adrianne Concepcion, nailed Cindy Lou’s signature style with a black-and-white gingham dress layered under a red velvet cape trimmed in white faux fur. Makeup artist Jake Galvez gave the Gen Z star a fresh, doll-like glow, and hairstylist Jericho Andrade worked wonders to nail that gravity-defying hairstyle. Her blonde ringlets, topped with a big red bow, totally stole the show.
Creative director Eugene David's concept was brought to life by production designer Justine Arcega-Bumanlag, who set the perfect holiday mood with twinkling lights, a towering Christmas tree, and festive details everywhere. And finally, photographer Dookie Ducay captured the magic with his dreamy shots, which Belle captioned on Instagram: “To kindness and love, the things we need most,” she wrote, referencing the iconic movie.
Naturally, the comments section was filled with fans loving every bit of the fun pictorial. Major props to Belle for giving us a holiday moment we won’t forget anytime soon!
