The most followed TikTok icon in the Philippines, recently celebrated her 18th birthday on Jan. 27, 2024, at The Vista Tent in Las Piñas City.
Here are the five highlights we loved on Niana's debut.
Niana’s 2-in-1 ensemble
What caught the interest of netizens was Niana's 2-in-1 fiery ensemble. She donned a sparkling red ball gown designed by the renowned fashion designer Michael Cinco. The unique feature of the gown was its detachable skirt, which Niana took off to enjoy freely dancing throughout the party.

Another standout highlight of Niana's birthday celebration was the choice of venue. Gideon Hermosa, a globally recognized floral and event stylist, transformed "The Tent” into a mesmerizing futuristic display featuring a striking chromatic silver installation. With a minimalistic approach to frills and floral arrangements, this unique design perfectly complements Niana's energetic dance moves," he shared on Instagram. "The design effortlessly captures a modern Gen Z vibe while still embodying Gideon's signature style that embraces and celebrates Niana's dynamic spirit.”
Gen-Z twist on the traditional cotillion
It comes as no surprise that Niana's passion for dancing and art shines through in her unique interpretation of the traditional cotillion. This was shared by the renowned celebrity photographer and videographer, Nice Print Photo, on TikTok.

In the grand finale, Niana's debut was marked by a stunning six-tiered cake that stole the spotlight. The cake, created by Honeyglaze, showcased a cosmic design with small stars, silver balls representing the moon, and glittery square-shaped cakes symbolizing the galaxies.
Matchy-matchy family outfits
Niana's 18th birthday celebration, of course, wouldn’t be complete without electric dance movies and the love and support of her family. The family members all wore stunning black and sparkling silver dresses and suits from Ryan Ablaza Bridal Couture.
