Taking center stage in Norman Acuba’s show, Nadine was breathtaking in a black-and-nude Filipiniana gown featuring intricate embroidery, a sculpted bodice, and voluminous layers of tulle that created breathtaking movement on the runway. The highlight of her ensemble was the modern interpretation of butterfly sleeves adorned with black feathers, giving a bold yet elegant nod to Nadine's and the designer's heritage.
