Here are some of our favorite looks from the last ABS-CBN Ball

Before the brightest Filipino celebrities grace this year's red carpet, let's look back at some of the stellar fashion moments during the last ABS-CBN ball

What was known before as the Star Magi Ball, the prestigious gathering of Kapamilya stars became even grander in 2018 when it became the ABS-CBN Ball. Since then, the ball, which usually takes place in September, has been one of the most fashionable events in the local entertainment scene. After years of being on hold, a new edition of the ABS-CBN Ball is finally upon us.

But before the stars lit the red carpet at Makati Shangri-la, let's look back on how the stars interpreted the ABS-CBN 2019's theme of "Modern Filipiniana."

Let's start with Bea Alonzo, who was awarded Metro Best Dressed Female wearing a black one-shoulder Filipiniana by Jun Escario.
