Celebrities Share Their Secret to A Sculpted Look for the Vogue Philippines Anniversary Gala

Fresh from his trip to Palawan, the 25-year-old Vogue Philippines cover star shared how much of his island respite influenced the tone of his ensemble. “What inspired my look? It’s Perlas ng Silanganan (Pearl of the Orient). While on the island, I learned how my South Sea pearl necklace was harvested and how it worked so well with my Rajo [Laurel] gown,” shares the You’re That Bitch author about his sculptural dress.

He adds, “On top of that, I got my Palawan glow to match. In prepping for the gala, The Aivee Clinic team came to my room and gave me the Aerolase and Aivee Emface to firm up my skin and rejuvenate it from sun exposure. It brought out my radiant island boy skin.” 

The social media personality also says that he incorporated his unique identity into the entire look for the event. “I feel like my biggest thing with my beauty is that masculine and feminine energy is always my thing. And I love that I captured that with my look today.”

“When I saw this dress, it immediately caught my eye and [it] caught my heart,” says the 35-year-old actress about her ethereal Toni Maticevski archival piece from 2019, adding that re-wear and recycling in fashion are causes that she advocates for.

The newly engaged Alonzo shared how the Aivee team became a part of her gala preparations. “It takes a village for us to look good, especially when it comes to events like this. A definite must-do for me is to pay attention to my skin which I always do with Dr. Aivee. One of the treatments I got in my hotel room today was the Aivee Emface. It’s a way to lift, hydrate, and contour my face in no time.”

The Start-Up Ph actress became candid about her other beauty rituals that her followers can pick up on as well. “I just try to have enough sleep. I [also] eat right before coming down. There’s a lot of booze in the ballroom,” she laughs. “We have to be full and hydrated before coming in.”

“Days prior to the gala, I went to The Aivee Clinic to do some treatments that could make me feel more poised in my Coperni cut-out dress,” says the 21-year-old actress. Alcantara shares that in addition to getting a laser and body hydration treatment, it was getting an Aivee Emface to match her already toned body that made her face radiant for the gala.

“There’s a tickling sensation to it but the pay-off of a firm skin is what I was excited about,” shares the actress. “I try my best to get as much sleep as I can and hydrate myself with water. Maybe not eight glasses a day but I make sure I never go without one,” she admits candidly, adding that longer shooting hours can sometimes dull the skin and you need a good at-home routine to care for your skin.

Just like Verzosa, the young actress also believes that a switch in your demeanor to a more positive one can change your aura and bring out your inner glow. “I’m [on] that journey that I don’t think about what others think of me. It might be a cliché, but it’s really true when they say that you have to love yourself.”

“Honestly, I’ve quite the challenge with my skin recently with all the traveling I’ve been doing,” shares the actress-beauty queen. Even before the gala, Versoza had taken steps to nourish her skin through proper consultation with Dr. Teo. “I realized that my skin had been dry and needed that oomph to moisturize and also revive my face, too.” She also adds that using the Aivee Emface was a way to prep for her upcoming projects, too, and fits right into her schedule as it lasts for only 10 minutes.

The 2022 Distinctive International Arab Festivals Award (DIAFA) Best Actress also shares how one’s mindset can also play a part in how you can feel beautiful about yourself. She relates, “It’s so important to have your own form of self-confidence, you know. Take time to slow down and know yourself to the fullest. Don’t let others define who you are.”

“I keep my skincare very simple,” shares the In My Mother’s Skin actress. “I have very dry skin. I make sure to keep it light and not irritate it further.” The 29-year-old Filipino-Australian shares her at-home skincare routine which consists of micellar water and indulging in essence to continuously hydrate her skin. Curtis-Smith admits that she’s always out in the sun—with surfing being a pastime—and aftercare is also a priority.

“Now that I’m in my late twenties, I’ve configured what works best for me,” says Curtis-Smith, adding that going for regular facial treatments at The Aivee Clinic did help in improving her skin texture. “I’m trying so many things that I would’ve never thought would help stimulate collagen or improve certain parts of my face. I have a tendency to be very conscious about my eyes and the way my skin looks, but I try not to get carried away. I’ve learned to be patient with myself and my skin.”
