The Preview Ball 2024, held at the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Newport World Resorts, was a celebration of authenticity and feeling truly comfortable in the skin you're in. Numerous celebrities and local industry creatives donned their best, most stylish attire and graced the nude carpet in their best interpretations of "creative skin tone formal."
Coleen Garcia clearly put her best foot forward in a showstopping floor-length sparkly gown by Julianne Syjuco, featuring a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit.

"I actually just fit this last night," Coleen tells Preview. "It took her a day or two to make this, so I'm really impressed." The actress was aiming for a "wet look" but wanted to keep things simple.
"I like to stick to classic elements at the end of the day," Coleen adds. "I try to experiment in little ways, but I'm still trying to be more adventurous when it comes to my fashion. I think I'm still on that journey of trying to find my own personal style. But there are some things I'm really consistent with. I like certain silhouettes, so I feel like if you look at my different outfits, it always has a consistent vibe to it."

To add a bit of sparkle to the ensemble, Coleen wore several jewelry pieces from Tiffany & Co.—specifically, the T bangle, and the Knot earrings and bracelet. "I also got this last minute, they pulled a miracle for me."
Hairstylist Renz Pangilinan and makeup artist Aron Guevara collaborated to create long mermaid-style waves and a dewy, shimmery flush to complete the look. But the highlight of this LOTD? "I love the fabric of this gown so much. I love the beadwork. I love how it's glistening, shining, shimmering, I love how it just tied the entire look together."
You look amazing, Coleen!
