Julia Barretto sure knows how to make a statement. The actress continues her sultry streak at the ABS-CBN Ball 2025 red carpet, this time with a chic ube cut-out dress that quietly strikes the balance between minimalism and glamour. It perfectly complimented her beau Gerald Anderson's aubergine suit by Paolo Lazaro.
While the couple looked like they coordinated their 'fits, Julia shared in the red carpet interview with Gretchen Fullido that it was actually a serendipitous moment as they attended at the last minute. The couple also revealed that Julia's dress only arrived at 2 p.m. of that day! Scroll on to have a closer look.

"For Julia, it’s always about her quiet confidence and her effortless aesthetics," her fashion stylist and long-time collaborator, Cath Sobrevega, tells Preview. "For the ball, we wanted that '90s vibe—minimalist glamour, sleek silhouette, and undone sophistication."
Their vision for the ball led to Helsa's Constantina dress—a soft jersey column dress that was punctuated by ab-baring cut-outs, a deep back, and a contrasting black bow that gracefully gathers the fabric in her midsection. Fun fact: The Los Angeles-based brand is the brainchild of Swedish model and Victoria's Secret angel Elsa Hosk, and needless to say, we can definitely see the balance of Scandinavian sensibilities and tasteful sexiness in the design. She completed her outfit with diamond accessories from JMA Jewelry.
Julia kept her beauty look simple yet refined. Makeup artist Robbie Piñera gave her an earth-toned smokey eye while keeping the rest of her face matte and natural. Raymond Santiago leaned into the effortless glamor by styling her hair into a tousled chignon with a loose tendril.
