<p>Ever seen a Greek god in real life? At this year&#x27;s <a href="https://metro.style/fashion/metrostylewatch/the-opulence-ball-2023-theme-attendees-stars/36455" target="_blank">Opulence Ball</a>, there were plenty of stars who made our hearts swoon with their mythological and folkloric costumes. </p><div><br/></div><p><strong>Mond Gutierrez</strong>, the co-founder of the iconic Opulence Ball, set the tone right the moment he walked on the black carpet. Mond donned a gilded armor which was molded from his own physique. The rest of his ensemble is hand-made from top to bottom, truly an armor fit for a god! Hairstylist to the stars, <strong>Renz Pangilinan</strong>, made his presence known in true Greek fashion. Renz wore a custom naked illusion body suit that highlighted the contours of a Greek statue. From the headdress, the cape, to the harp, this look was one of our favorites tonight. On the topic of god-like fashion, <strong>Dr. Hayden Kho</strong> embodied the power of the sun, moon, and stars with his custom look.</p><div><br/></div><p>The presentation of gods wouldn&#x27;t be complete without the god of the underworld himself, Hades. <strong>James Reid</strong> immediately bagged <em>Metro</em>&#x27;s Best Dressed Man award the moment he entered the room. His presence was simply unmatched especially with Persephone right by his side. </p><div><br/></div><p>Find out who else made it on our Best Dressed list and discover who designed their ensembles in the gallery down below.
