This year’s blue carpet belonged to the beauty girls. And no, it wasn’t just the lighting or the genetically blessed faces. The beats were plotted, cinematic, and worked on by some of the industry’s best. Whether you were pulled in by the painfully flawless skin or the hair styled to perfection, we know we weren’t the only ones left scrolling slower and staring longer.

Shuvee Etrata
All eyes landed on Shuvee Etrata at one point—and stayed there. In a blooming Rian Fernandez piece and a golden beat by Thazzia Falek, the morena muse made it feel almost sinful to scroll past.
Sofia Pablo
Fierce can be tricky when you’re young, but Sofia Pablo made it look easy. She wore her hair long and pin-straight care of Mark Anthony Rosales, letting her AJ Javier piece take the reins. The babydoll beat by Paul Unating sealed it all.
AC Bonifacio
Channeling femme fatale (or a little Jessica Rabbit, perhaps) was AC Bonifacio. She wore her hair up like a dream, her red hair full of attitude, and her glam sealed with the boldest deep red lip to match. Let’s all give a collective thanks to hairstylist MJ Rone and makeup artist Jelly Eugenio for this moment.
Gabbi Garcia
The internet was obsessed with her look, and for very, very good reason. With old Hollywood curls, a perfectly smoked eye, and sharp beat, she served rouge allure with a capital A. She danced as a lady in red—perhaps the most unforgettable one of the night.
Marian Rivera
Do you really need to reinvent the beauty wheel to make a statement? Marian Rivera proves you don’t. Her lace Zuhair Murad moment was paired with radiant, me-but-better glam—one that highlighted the kind of face that never seems to age, only evolve.
Az Martinez
Az Martinez leaned into her porcelain princess fantasy at the GMA Gala 2025 in a blush pink Anthony Ramirez gown and a glow that looked straight out of a K-drama. Her hair was pin-straight, her skin dewy and luminous—like fine china under a spotlight.
Kat Llegado
She looked like a morena siren brought to life. Miss Supranational Philippines 2026 wore a Rap Soligam piece, but it was the beauty that cast the spell—ultra-long mermaid curls and a glam so magnetic, you’d swear she lured every flash her way. Somewhere out there, a sailor’s still mesmerized.
Julie Anne San Jose
Her spot on this list is another no-brainer. With her hair pulled into a sleek, high ponytail and a beat so snatched it felt like the Bold Glamour filter came to life, her look was clean, sculpted, and camera-ready from every angle.
Jennylyn Mercado
It wasn’t the glitter, it wasn’t the shimmer (though both looked good on her). It was just Jennlyn—lit from within. The look was dubbed “the art of restraint” by makeup artist Anthea Bueno, and she wasn’t wrong. With a sleek bun and fresh skin, it was all grace and no gimmick.
Cassy Legaspi
Not every gala look has to be bold and hit you over the head, and Cassy knew that. Her Vania Romoff number already brought the whimsy, but it was her fresh, airy glam that kept it looking like a dream. Hair up, glow on, and not a heavy shadow in sight? We’ll take whatever she’s having.
