The highly anticipated ABS-CBN Ball 2025 dazzled on April 4 at the Solaire Resort North in Quezon City, bringing together the brightest stars in the industry. This year's theme, “Brighter Together,” celebrated unity and brilliance, with guests gracing the occasion in spring formal attire. Among the most highly anticipated appearances? Sharon Cuneta, who made her ABS-CBN Ball debut in a nude Jot Losa creation.

The Megastar has long been known for her glamorous, intricate ensembles, particularly for her concerts and major events. But for her first-ever walk on the ABS-CBN Ball red carpet—alongside her husband, former Senator Kiko Pangilinan—she chose something refreshingly different. “She specifically requested a look that is simple yet sophisticated—a striking departure from the elaborate gowns she typically wears for her concerts,” designer Jot Losa shared to Preview. “We opted for a sleek design in a stunning nude shade, embracing understated elegance with clean lines and refined details that exude timeless grace.”
The gown features an off-the-shoulder neckline and a form-fitting silhouette that draped seamlessly, accentuating Sharon’s frame with subtle ruching at the waist. She completed the look with her own pieces of jewelry—diamonds and emeralds—that added a hint of shine to the otherwise understated palette. Her glam was equally polished, with makeup by Peachy Mariano and hair styled by Jeffrey Aromin. The neutral hue paired with a subtle sparkle contributed to a quietly refined look.
Days before the event, Sharon herself couldn’t contain her excitement, sharing on Instagram, "On April 4, I am attending the ABS-CBN BALL for the first time, ever. I was always invited, but could never come because I didn’t feel like it. I was always so fat. Nothing wrong with that per se, but I just never felt like my best self. So now that I do, am joining my Kapamilya!!!”
Her appearance at the ball is also a celebration of her personal journey. Sharon has been open about her transformation, having lost over 100 pounds since she began her fitness journey in 2016. “For the first time in over 20 years, I was able to shop for clothes again that I actually want to wear,” she previously shared. “I went up to a size 24 (!) years ago, and that was when I truly panicked because my health was suffering. I am now back to size 6-8. A small to medium. And when I tried on clothes for my new wardrobe, I was moved to tears because I still couldn’t believe I had finally lost all that ugly extra weight!”
