#MetroStyleWatch: 10 Celebrities Spotted In Fierce, Androgynous Pantsuits At The 2019 ABS-CBN Ball!

Gone are the days when Filipinas were expected to remain still in the face of oppression. Today's Maria Clara is empowered, strong, and vocal about her opinions and principles. She will not remain silent!

For centuries, wearing pants was equated to being in power, and that is why it was deemed "unacceptable" for women before to sport trousers. But in the spirit of feminism and empowerment, the fashion industry has also evolved through the years. Thankfully, conventions were broken, giving way to one of the biggest style trends today: wearing gender-neutral, androgynous pieces. 

From matching pantsuits to stylish jumpsuits, we've compiled all the women who traded form-fitting dresses and tulle ball gowns for fierce, formal slacks at the 2019 ABS-CBN Ball!
