This year’s Preview Ball rang in several highlights, including the unveiling of our September 2023 issue featuring Julia Barretto. Of course, the cover girl pulled out all the stops, as she arrived impeccably dressed at our all-white affair’s star-studded black carpet!
LOOK: Julia Barretto Wears Julianne Syjuco at the Preview Ball 2023
As put together by her stylist confidante Cath Sobrevega, Julia was dressed to the nines in a silken white original by Julianne Syjuco. According to Cath, the actress had taken cues from the motif of our cover, where Julia stood among dancers from the Ballet Philippines in an almost goddess-like vision.
“The feel is very ethereal, almost like a rebirth,” the celebrity stylist tells Preview. “Julia was very on top for her look, [as] she wanted the story to connect to the cover.”
Exquisitely crafted with silk and chiffon, the frock appeared like a second skin to the star. Taking inspiration from water as a symbol of rebirth, Julianne’s creation flowed like liquid with its delicate folds.
Fun fact: Cath’s inspirations included Zendaya’s famous Balmain “wet look” gown, which she wore at the Venice Film Festival in 2021!
For Julia’s beauty look of the night, the star went for classic slicked-back locks, courtesy of hairstylist to the stars, Anton Papa. Her go-to makeup artist Denise Ochoa spruced up her look with sultry dark red tones, giving an added glamorous touch.
The actress was an extra golden sight with glittering peep toe pumps from Christian Louboutin, which flaunted the iconic red bottoms. As for her accessories, Julia was all glammed-up with Tiffany & Co., featuring the luxury jeweler’s Hardware and Tiffany T collection.
