Dolly de Leon
Few guests embody this year’s Fashion + Film theme as perfectly as Dolly de Leon. The internationally acclaimed actress delivered one of last year’s most memorable appearances in a sharply tailored Sassa Jimenez suit. With an ever-growing slate of acclaimed projects, her return would be a standout moment on the carpet.

Zsa Zsa Padilla
As this year’s theme celebrates the leading ladies of film, we can’t help but hope for the presence of the incomparable Zsa Zsa Padilla. A true multihyphenate whose influence spans music, film, and television, she has spent decades captivating audiences with her artistry and elegance. She’s a legend in every sense of the word, and her arrival would undoubtedly make the MEGA Ball shine even brighter.

Bela Padilla
Few actresses have made us laugh, cry, and reflect quite like Bela Padilla. Beyond her compelling performances on screen, she has established herself as a writer, director, and creative force in Philippine cinema. It’s no surprise that she’s among the remarkable women featured in MEGA’s June Special Issue. With her last appearance at the MEGA Ball dating back to 2018, her return would not only be a welcome sight, but also a fitting celebration of her artistry and lasting contributions to the industry.

Ashtine Olviga
Few names have appeared more frequently in fans’ MEGA Ball wish lists than Ashtine Olviga. Having already graced three MEGA covers, the actress has become one of the publication’s brightest young stars—and if social media is any indication, audiences would love to see her bring that star power to the red carpet.

Bea Millan-Windorski
Fresh from her Miss Universe Philippines 2026 victory, Bea Millan-Windorski has quickly become one of the country’s most watched style figures. After joining us at the MEGA Woman Club earlier this year, seeing the reigning queen at the MEGA Ball would feel like a fitting continuation of her winning streak.

Lella Ford
Fresh off her breakthrough year, Lella Ford has emerged as one of the most exciting young personalities to watch. Between her growing visibility and polished personal style, the MEGA Ball feels like the perfect setting for a memorable debut.

From veteran actresses and cultural trailblazers, these women are the embodiment of influence. And as the countdown to the MEGA Ball continues, we can only hope to see these names walk the red carpet and bring their own unforgettable magic to the night. Until then, we’ll be manifesting from the sidelines.
