The Dress Detail that Made Julia Barretto and Erich Gonzales Stand Out at Star Magic Ball 2017

When you’re given a venue like the Star Magic Ball red carpet, you have a choice to either go glam or go…even more glam. Many celebrities last night achieved that by going in shimmery ensembles. Think: crystals, pearls, glitter, and metallic fabrics.

We know you’re still talking about your favorite OOTDs so we rounded up the glitziest ones we spotted. You decide who shone the brightest that night.

Arci Muñoz

Arci wore a sheer dress with pearls peppered on the torso and train. She also paired this with a fur cover-up. This reminds us a little of Rihanna’s naked dress during the MET Gala 2014.

Coleen Garcia

Black fabric and silver glitter is always a great combo for eveningwear. Coleen showed up in a strapless Popo Go gown which she paired with a silver clutch and diamond earrings.

Kathryn Bernardo

Kathryn looked ethereal in a silver Patricia Santos gown. The dress is embellished with Swarovski crystals and has a backless design.

Sarah Lahbati

For her first time on Star Magic Ball red carpet, Sarah wore a black Mark Bumgarner jumpsuit with a long train. You can also see flecks of glitter shimmering from the outfit.

Chie Filomeno

Chie opted for a nude-colored Boom Sason gown made from sparkly embellished lace. To show off a little skin, it’s off-shoulder and has a thigh-slit on the skirt.

Julia Barretto

Belle of the Ball Julia kept it simple in a white Mark Bumgarner piece. The skirt is peppered with white glitter and also has an intricate beaded embroidery on the hem.

Janella Salvador

Also wearing Mark Bumgarner was Janella. Similar to Julia’s, her gown also had white beads and glitter on a beige-gold fabric.

Liza Soberano

Liza sported a black Dior bustier dress with colorful floral and bird embroideries. The glitter comes from the small silver flowers stitched on the dress’ chest area.

KC Del Rosario

KC gave off a ’90s songstress vibe with her silver Boom Sason gown. It has a low backless design and also comes with a fringe-like neckpiece.

Kim Chiu

Kim was channeling Swan Lake in her Michael Leyva ball gown. The blush pink gown has silver feather-like embroidery that went from her skirt to her chest. She also had dark lipstick on to contrast it.

Erich Gonzales

Feathers and shimmery beads made Erich’s beige Jun Escario gown shine on the red carpet. She paired it with a clutch of the same color and dangling diamond earrings.

Elisse Joson

Elisse looked elegant in this white and nude Michael Leyva gown. The torso area has a bustier design while the skirt is embellished with glitter and feathers.

Sofia Andres

Let’s talk about the metallics now. Sofia arrived in a white Rob Ortega gown with metallic silver straps and belt. If you look at the checkered design of the dress, you’ll see the lines are shiny too.

KZ Tandingan

KZ took a daring route with this sheer mesh nude gown by Garimon Roferos Couture. It’s embellished with Swarovski crystals and comes with a white feather cape coat.

Pia Wurtzbach

Proving that she’s not letting go of her queen status, Pia slayed in a crystallized lace gown by Ezra Couture. She also showed off her leg via the gown’s thigh-high slit.

Maymay Entrata

Up-and-coming actress Maymay graced the red carpet in a white Mark Bumgarner ball gown. It’s designed with thousands of Swarovski crystals and pearls from the bodice down to the skirt.

Shaina Magdayao

Shaina wore a black and silver Christopher Kane gown. The silver skirt had a foil-like appearance to it. The gown also had a plunging neckline tamed by a sheer fabric over the chest area.

Denise Laurel

Denise celebrated her birthday at the ball, and what better way to do that than with a Michael Cinco ball gown. It comes in a gray color with floral embroidery and a glittery top.

Maja Salvador

Maja seemed to be channeling her badass Wildflower character with this black lace Michael Cinco creation. The see-through piece has shiny beads and a lace cape.

Tommy Esguerra

Of course, the men are welcome to try out the shiny trend as well. Also wearing Michal Cinco, Tommy opted for a glossy black tuxedo.

Janine Gutierrez

Janine arrived in a black Emilio Pucci dress which had glitters and sequins. She accessorized it with a geometric snake skin clutch by Bea Valdes.
