LOOK: The 10 Best Dressed Stars at the GMA Gala 2024
Marian Rivera
GMA's Primetime Queen Marian Rivera was a vision of glamour in a black strapless gown with a crystal-studded rose wreath decorating the neckline. This creation was by Nicole + Felicia Couture. Marian accessorized with a Bottega Veneta clutch and diamond jewelry.
Heart Evangelista
International fashion icon Heart Evangelista wowed in a confectionary white dress from the Spring/Summer 2024 collection of the Italian house Giambattista Valli. The voluminous halter-style gown features a creamy white overlay atop a bejeweled corset, adorned with supersized roses, ribbons, and a dramatic balloon skirt.
Gabbi Garcia
Boldness and brutalism were clearly Gabbi Garcia's keywords of the night. The actress donned an avante-garde gown by Rick Owens and was styled by Steven Coralde and Leanne Ledesma. Her gown featured a cape-like drape over the shoulder, a full sequin finish, and shark blue stripes that lent the ensemble an athletic touch.
Bianca Umali
Bianca Umali presented a solid reimagining of menswear, courtesy of designer Joey Samson and stylist John Paul Dizon. Her sharp ensemble was utilitarian in structure yet whimsical in spirit, composed of an exaggerated collar and bowtie combo, a pleated shirt, and an asymmetrical maxi skirt. Too chic!
Julie Anne San Jose
The Maria Clara at Ibarra star was as sultry as can be in a celestially glamorous gown by Michael Cinco. Styled by Maita Baello, Julie Ann's gown flawlessly fit her toned figure, and and featured dazzling rhinestones, an artistic armor-like pattern, and a feathered skirt.
Chelsea Manalo
Our reigning Miss Universe Philippines Chelsea Manalo turned up to the gala in an ebony halter-style gown by designer Manny Halasan. Subtle yet striking, the gown was composed of a flattering boned bodice, a striped drop skirt, and a rhinestone-studded back strap. You look amazing, Chelsea!
Ysabel Ortega
Styled by Cath Sobrevega, Ysabel Ortega looked angelic in an ethereal tulle gown by Julianne Syjuco. We're in love with the soft, windblown look of the gown, the asymmetrical shoulder, and the cloud skirt. Diamonds from La Elegancia Jewelry completed the glamorous look.
Barbie Forteza
Clad in custom Mak Tumang, Barbie Forteza looked like a fairytale princess! Styled by Jan Ra, with the assistance of Mika Borinaga and Khayle Limson, the actress' wintery ball gown was adorned with the most intricate vines rendered with floral appliqués atop a frosted skirt.
Glaiza de Castro
Clad in Neric Beltran and styled by Joy Bernardo, Glaiza de Castro was a stunner from head-to-toe. Her strapless chain mail gown was styled with a mesh shawl and stacks of pearl necklaces, referencing old Hollywood glamour. So fierce!
Jasmine Curtis-Smith
A statuesque and elegant Jasmine Curtis-Smith arrived at the GMA Gala in a draped white halter-style dress that fit her perfectly. Designed by Martin Bautista and Neil Felipp, the heavenly gown featured a daring backless cut, clean lines, and gold seashell buckle—the latter being a bold, luscious detail by Felipp, an designer whose specialties include whimsical flora and fauna-inspired accessories.
