Christmas might still be a month away, but ABS-CBN is already ringing in the holiday szn with the recently concluded Star Magical Ball 2024. The network's biggest Kapamilya stars gathered at Solaire North for a night of fun, all while dressed up in their best stylishly whimsical outfits inspired by the holidays.
While some celebrities channeled the Christmas spirit by dressing up in quirky outfits—have you seen BINI's Noche Buena-inspired costumes?—others took this opportunity to serve us some low-key sultry ensembles that had us doing a double take. Check out the best ones we spotted below:
LIST: The Low-Key Sultriest Gowns We Spotted At Star Magical Ball 2024
1. Xyriel Manabat
Xyriel made sure all eyes were on her as she strutted down the white carpet in a white and silver bedazzled angel-inspired outfit, complete with wings reminiscent of those of a Victoria's Secret Angel! In the beauty department, the actress went for an angelic makeup look with groomed brows, pink lips, and a healthy dose of blush on the cheeks.
2. Belle Mariano
Belle normally gravitates toward tasteful ensembles on the red carpet, and this event was no exception. She donned a red sequinned backless (!) gown with an asymmetrical shoulder. Her face card did all the talking for the night, which meant that we got a simple and refreshing makeup look on her: bold brows, bronzed skin, and a classic red lip.
3. Chie Filomeno
Chie, who's always wanted to be a ballerina, got her wish and dressed up as a ballet dancer for the night. Her frock featured a sparkly AF jewel-encrusted backless top, while her layered tulle skirt gave the outfit movement with every step.
For her beauty look, we got a classic Chie look: feathered arches, a glowy base, and a pink lip. Her hair was done in a half-up, half-down hairstyle that's accessorized with a bow to complete the look.
4. Shanaia Gomez
The alumna of Pinoy Big Brother Season 10 showed up on the white carpet in a nude corset wrapped in artfully ruffled plastic tied together by a red ribbon that made her look like a bouquet or a gift! Her Christmas wreath-inspired headpiece further completed her ensemble.
5. Loisa Andalio
When in doubt, go for all-white—and that's exactly what Loisa did on the white carpet! She dressed up in a sparkly white frock with a halter neckline, peek-a-boo cutouts, and a feathery skirt. She then rounded off the look with silver gogo knee-high boots.
6. Barbie Imperial
Barbie was a looker on the white carpet with her baby blue gown that featured a crystal-encrusted neckline and a hood with a long train. In the beauty department, Barbie proved that peach was her color—she went for peachy-pink cheeks and lips.
7. Vivoree
Vivoree stunned in a red-hot ribbon top with dramatic tails that was paired with a red miniskirt and shimmery black fishnet tights. The ribbon theming was also present on her shoes—check out the bb ribbons on her heels!
8. Kira Balinger
Dressing up as an angel was a popular choice on the night of the Star Magical Ball, but Kira set herself apart from the others by donning an opulent all-gold ensemble that featured a textured breastplate, a wrap skirt, and wings.
