It appears that mocha mousse is really here to slay! From Heart Evangelista to Kylie Verzosa, Pantone's Color of the Year for 2025 has already integrated itself into stylish wardrobes, and Julia Barretto is the latest fashionista to flaunt her take on wearing this delicious hue.
LOOK: Julia Barretto's Elegant Mocha Mousse Outfit at the Cebu Premiere of "Hold Me Close"
Julia may have a penchant for neutrals and classic styles, but this particular muted brown look was intentionally on-trend. "Julia’s look for the Cebu premiere night of Hold Me Close is both stylish and thoughtfully tied to the upcoming Pantone color of the year, Mocha Mousse," her longtime fashion stylist Cath Sobrevega reveals to Preview.
Clad in a body-skimming Norma Kamali halter gown, Julia's team went with a timeless silhouette to "emphasize elegance and sophistication, while the warm, earthy tones of Mocha Mousse add a trendy touch."
Completing the look are thick yet sleek gold accessories that add sheen and light to her earthy ensemble. They kept it simple by going for key pieces such as hoop earrings, a dress watch, and a solid band on her finger.
"We wanted to match the color of the dress, so we opted for brown hues in the makeup, which complement the warm, earthy tones of the Mocha Mousse," Cath shares, regarding the red carpet glam done by makeup artist Anthea Bueno and hairstylist Anton Papa. "Additionally, we styled her hair in a sleek, snatched braid ponytail to enhance her elegant look." Needless to say, Julia was every bit like a silver-screen leading lady in her premiere night look!
