The ABS-CBN Ball has always been known as the most anticipated event with the largest gathering of the biggest stars in the country. Through the years, this formal affair has become synonymous with elegance and glamour while showcasing the best of Philippine talent in fashion design. Thanks to the comprehensive multi-platform red carpet coverage by Metro, the Ball is now a major platform for celebrating and promoting local designers.

As expected, the celebrities looked wonderful walking the red carpet in their Spring Formal gowns and tuxedos. We were happy to see that even the ABS-CBN heads, executives, and VIP guests supported this year’s dress code and did not disappoint.

President and CEO of ABS-CBN Corporation Carlo Katigbak and COO of ABS-CBN Corporation Cory Vidanes lit up the red carpet in their stylish Spring Formal looks. Carlo wore a light traditional black tie attire while Cory opted for a sunset orange Paul Cabral evening gown. ABS-CBN Chairman Mark Lopez and his wife Connie Lopez walked the red carpet with grace and ease. Connie was wearing a yellow Rhett Eala dress. Also donning a custom Rhett Eala piece, Charo Santos had a beautiful glow in her blush floral gown. She was joined by Piolo Pascual in Paul Cabral on the red carpet. 

Metro Group Head Christina Lopez made a sartorial statement in her custom Rajo Laurel. Her husband, Treasurer, Executive Vice President, and Head-Corporate Affairs of Rockwell Land Miguel Lopez, complemented her look in a sleek black tie attire styled with a plum bow tie. 

It was truly inspiring to see Filipino-made creations on the red carpet. Berta Feliciano-Lopez in Lulu Tan-Gan, Nicole Lopez in Sari Lazaro, Michelle Lopez in Vania Romoff, Tootsy Angara in Inno Sotto, Karen Davila in Dennis Lustico, Dyan Castillejo in Val Taguba, and Annette Gozon in Noel Estopito, each chose the designer that best represents their personal style. Those who opted for international labels turned up in stunning designs as well. Small Laude was dressed in Zuhair Murad while Bernadette Sembrano opted for Carolina Herrera.
