The annual ABS-CBN Ball is perpetually a magnet for fashion insiders and stylish A-listers. This year was no different, with the event receiving stellar patronage, from stars who were unafraid to strut the red carpet on their own to the country’s most adorable celebrity lovebirds. The guest list was nothing short of impressive, given the Kapamilya Network’s roster of stars. And if we're talking about a look that stood out, Kathryn Bernardo’s bejeweled gown is certainly one of the evening’s strongest contenders!
The actress, who graced the event fresh from the success of her newest box-office film A Very Good Girl, flaunted her curves in a sparkly custom gown made by Mark Bumgarner—her most *daring* look to date!

In the beauty department, makeup artist Justine Del Rosario highlighted Kath's natural features with neutral yet radiant makeup, while hairstylist John Valle opted for a chic cut that kept her overall look artfully modern and ~*alluring*~ at the same time.
In an exclusive chat with Cosmo, Kath’s beloved stylist Kimi Yap shared the inspiration behind Kathryn’s risqué look. “Kath wanted to step outside her comfort zone and try something new, so it was exciting to finally see it all come together on the day of the ball,” she said.
She described Kath’s sartorial choice as “modern and forward,” and “reflects her willingness to push boundaries in terms of fashion, in film and with her career in general.”
“We were all happy with the outcome and this is by far our favorite look of Kath for the ABS-CBN Ball,” she added.
In an Instagram post, the style maven expressed her gratitude to her team for an outstanding execution of her dream ball look.
