Article (news)

<p>The <strong>Metro Manila Film Festival 2025</strong> had plenty of film and fashion moments to share. With several films earning major awards for their craft and cultural impact, the arrivals at the awards ceremony felt like a celebration. </p><div><br/></div><p>Among the evening’s biggest winners, <em>Manila’s Finest </em>dominated the technical categories, taking home Best Cinematography, Best Original Theme Song, Best Music Score, and Best Production Design. That commitment to visual and sonic world-building was mirrored on the carpet by a general preference for strong silhouettes. <em>I’mPerfect</em> secured Best Ensemble, with<strong> Krystal Go </strong>earning Best Actress, while <em>Call Me Mother</em> received the Gender Sensitivity Award. <strong>Vice Ganda </strong>was named Best Actor, and <strong>Lucas Andalio</strong> won Best Child Performer, marking a night that celebrated both established stars and emerging talent.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766899949120starcinema_1766848467_3796922603429676376_41219450.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Vice Ganda wearing Gucci at the MMFF 2025 | Photo from @starcinema on Instagram</span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766900114014Screen Shot 2025-12-28 at 1.34.45 PM.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">The &#x27;Primadonna&#x27; from Demna Gvasalia&#x27;s S/S 2026 collection for Gucci </span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p><strong>Vice Ganda</strong> made a show stopping entrance with her Gucci gown from Demna Gvasalia’s debut S/S 2026 collection for the Italian house. The look was equal parts statement-making and elegant. <strong>Nadine Lustre</strong>, also representing <em>Call Me Mother</em>, delivered a masterclass in restraint through her custom Mark Bumgarner evening gown. Rendered in a deep plum hue, the dress relied on sculpted pleats and clean construction rather than embellishment.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766899987760starcinema_1766839103_3796844048393906681_41219450.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Nadine Lustre wearing Mark Bumgarner at the MMFF 2025 | Photo from @starcinema on Instagram</span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766900146752paulnebres_1766851838_3796950876570128472_183197472.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">A closer look at Nadine Lustre&#x27;s Mark Bumgarner gown | Photo from @paulnebres on Instagram</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p><strong>Fyang Smith</strong>, attending in support of her film <em>Shake, Rattle, and Roll: Evil Origins</em>, leaned into modern glamour with a high-shine custom creation by AJ Javier. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766900185136japethmike_purog_1766852858_3796959432170265839_1126071398.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Fyang Smith wearing AJ Javier at the MMFF 2025 | Photo from @japethmike_purog on Instagram</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p><strong>Will Ashley</strong>, <strong>Bianca De Vera</strong>, and <strong>Dustin Yu</strong> of <em>Love You So Bad</em> opted for streamlined formalwear that emphasized fit and proportion.
