BINI
Maloi and Jhoanna proudly represented the Nation’s Girl Group in stunning Martin Bautista dresses, their light hues capturing the colorful energy that BINI has become known for. That night, the group took home Tour of the Year and Artist of the Year, further cementing their growing influence both in the Philippines and beyond.
SB19
The Kings of P-Pop brought an intense, cool energy to the FMAs, all dressed in Lorico, of course. The group took home three awards—People’s Choice in Song and Artist, and Concert of the Year—making their coordinated looks all the more fitting for a group that has mastered the art of commanding a stage together.
XONARA
As one of the biggest rising girl groups in P-Pop, XONARA brought their signature edge and flair to the carpet, this time elevated in Lilah Roché ensembles. Their looks were cohesive without losing what makes each member distinct—a balance that feels especially fitting for a group carving out its own identity in the industry.
BGYO
Aces of P-Pop BGYO made their signature, effortless entrance at the FMAs in full ALSR—a masterclass in textures and layers. Each member brought his own personality to the ensemble while keeping the group visually cohesive, the kind of styling that looked easy at first glance, but revealed plenty of detail the longer you looked.
KAIA
Modern angels. Rising girl group KAIA was an ethereal vision at the FMAs in Dandy Temporosa, complete with feathers, embroidered sequins, and intricate details. The result was a dreamy group look that felt cohesive while allowing each member to shine in her own way.
YES MY LOVE
Rising boy group YES MY LOVE brought a different kind of dapper to the night. Dressed in cohesive black-and-white ensembles by Artikulo Uno, the group offered a fresh take on formalwear while establishing themselves among the new generation of P-Pop acts to watch.
G22
As the Female Alphas of P-Pop, the three-member G22 took the power suit to a whole new level in oversized Ziggy Savella suits, each finished with a touch of leather edge. The slightly masculine energy gave the trio an unmistakable attitude, making them look more than ready to take on the stage.
VXON
Rising P-Pop boy group VXON brought a different definition of streetwear-meets-dapper to the red carpet. In Kill Joy Studios, the group played with textures, layers, and proportions, showing how menswear-inspired dressing can still feel fresh and distinctly their own.
ALAMAT
R&B Song of the Year awardee and P-Pop boy group ALAMAT was every bit as legendary in their ANTONINA looks. Focusing on neutral tones and rich textures, the group looked polished without appearing overly dressed—a lesson in making understated styling feel anything but ordinary.
DNA
DNA, otherwise known as the Mitra sisters, arrived in matching glittering gowns, each rendered in different silhouettes and colors. It was a perfect example of how matching doesn’t have to mean identical, allowing the sisters to retain their individual style while still looking unmistakably like a pair.
WRIVE
Rising boy group WRIVE made a case for maroons, burgundies, and blues at the FMAs. Donning Rubrinas, the group brought a rich, unexpected palette to the evening while keeping their individual flair intact.
The Juans
Pop-rock band The Juans offered a different take on formalwear, playing with asymmetrical coats, sequined suits, and cropped blazers by Rubrinas. Their varied silhouettes gave the group a more relaxed, fashion-forward interpretation of red-carpet dressing without sacrificing the polish expected of the evening.
Ben & Ben
Twin legends stay twinning. The twin lead singers of the band brought home the Folk Song of the Year award for “Lifetime (Reimagined),” arriving in matching Neric Beltran ensembles. Their coordinated looks were a fitting final note to a night that proved dressing alike can still leave plenty of room for individuality.
Star power isn’t always a solo act. From power couples and sibling duos to some of the country’s biggest P-Pop groups, each collective brought its own rhythm to the red carpet—proving that there’s something especially striking about seeing individual personalities come together as one.
