The roots of the beautiful terno can be traced back to the late 1800s and early 1900s when the Philippines saw an evolution of how the classic traje de mestiza’s sleeves gradually gained height, structure, and pleating. Today, the terno has continued to evolve by adapting to modernity.

While the terno can be worn either casually or formally, the most stunning modern variations of the timeless style can be seen when in the form of gowns. Recently, our favorite celebrities have been flaunting this Philippine ensemble at various events and celebrations.

Liza Soberano was seen wearing a sparkly version of the terno at the Gold Gala 2023. We also saw the likes of Georgina and Jess Wilson sporting the look at the anniversary of Sunnies Studios. Take a look at the gallery below to see more celebs dressed in stunning modern terno gowns!
