<p>The starriest night of the year, <a href="https://metro.style/fashion/metrostylewatch/the-opulence-ball-2023-best-dressed-women/36545" target="_blank">The Opulence Ball</a> drew a stellar guest list to grace the black carpet in an extravagant sartorial display. With a theme dedicated to mythological creatures and legends, interpretations spanned from traditional to contemporary designs. Some attendees took a literal approach to the dress code while some opted to dress in a more abstract sense. </p><div><br/></div><p>One of the designers who certainly made an impact with his creations this Ball is none other than <strong>Job Dacon</strong>. The experienced designer is known for his sculptural works that are always colossal in size and impact. At The Opulence Ball, Job designed for Anne Curtis, Ruffa Gutierrez, and Chie Filomeno. </p><div><br/></div><p>Designer <strong>Bonita Penarenda</strong> did the most for The Opulence Ball. She designed 30+ looks for the Ball, most of which made it to our <a href="https://metro.style/fashion/metrostylewatch/the-opulence-ball-2023-best-dressed-men/36547" target="_blank">Best Dressed</a> list. From Mond Gutierrez’s mighty soldier looks, Renz Pangilinan’s statuesque ensemble, to Kylie Verzosa&#x27;s deconstructed goddess look, Bonita made her presence known with her custom body plates and her daring approach to detail.</p><div><br/></div><p><strong>Neric Beltran</strong>&#x27;s designs for The Opulence Ball could be easily described as otherworldy.
