<p><strong>Andrea Brillantes</strong> is stepping into 2026 with energy that feels fresh, fearless, and completely her own.

Andrea opened the program in a beaded two piece ensemble designed by <strong>Neric Beltran</strong> and styled by <strong>Eldzs Mejia</strong>, the same creative team behind her main look. The set was drenched in crystals that caught the light with every movement.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1763360791609Andrea 1.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Then came the red moment everyone was waiting for. Her custom gown drew inspiration from a <strong>Jean Paul Gaultier </strong>collaboration with <strong>Ludovic de Saint Sernin</strong>.

Seeing the gown in person made the reference feel intentional. It was a visual translation of her concept, building a bridge between the still image and the live reveal.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1763360815929Andrea 2 (1).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>The gown also represented something more personal. According to her team, Andrea wanted the look to express her womanhood. Through its silhouette, sheer texture, and rose motifs, the piece mirrored the confidence she is slowly embracing at this stage in her career.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1763360846869Andrea 2 (2).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Becoming a Tanduay Calendar Girl has been a recognizable milestone for many personalities in local pop culture, including Kim Chiu, Julia Barretto, and many others.
