Here's The Inspiration And Style Direction Behind Anne Curtis' Wardrobe For 'It's Okay To Not Be Okay'

Article (news)

Anne Curtis steps into the spotlight with unapologetic flair as Mia Hernandez in the Filipino adaptation of It’s Okay To Not Be Okay, bringing a fashion narrative that is as emotionally charged as it is visually arresting. Inspired by Seo Ye‑Ji’s iconic portrayal of Ko Moon‑young in the original Korean series, Curtis reinterprets the character’s bold style language with a distinctly Filipina sensibility—melding drama, femininity, and subtle cultural codes into each ensemble.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751623300571IMG_1413.PNG" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>Anne Curtis in &#x27;It&#x27;s Okay To Not Be Okay&#x27; | Photos from Dreamscape Entertainment&#x27;s trailer</div>From her first appearance, Mia’s wardrobe establishes her as a force—velvet, sculpted silhouettes, and power shoulders dominate, immediately recalling Moon‑young’s fashion-as-armor aesthetic. The bold choices don’t stop there. Oversized sunglasses, sky-high heels, and precision tailoring signal Mia’s emotional detachment and need for control—stylistic echoes of Moon‑young’s earliest episodes, where garments spoke louder than words. But Anne and her styling team wisely avoid mimicry. Instead, they infuse each look with warmth and tactility: silhouettes reminiscent of the terno, textures suited for the tropical heat, and accessories that nod to local craftsmanship.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751623366185IMG_1412.PNG" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>Anne Curtis in &#x27;It&#x27;s Okay To Not Be Okay&#x27; | Photos from Dreamscape Entertainment&#x27;s trailer</div>Mia’s wardrobe is also a journey. As the series progresses, we see the introduction of pastel tones, delicate embroidery, sequins, and even floral motifs—reflecting a softening of her character as she unravels emotionally. A sequined mini in a rose blush hue, matched with romantic drop earrings, evokes the emotional vulnerability of Seo Ye‑Ji’s Moon‑young during her turning point, but here, Mia’s transformation is grounded in a Filipina psyche—layered with grace and internal conflict. At every turn, Anne’s wardrobe is a conversation between strength and softness, control and chaos.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751623423304IMG_1416.PNG" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>Anne Curtis in &#x27;It&#x27;s Okay To Not Be Okay&#x27; | Photos from Dreamscape Entertainment&#x27;s trailer</div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751623391822IMG_1417.PNG" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>Anne Curtis in &#x27;It&#x27;s Okay To Not Be Okay&#x27; | Photos from Dreamscape Entertainment&#x27;s trailer</div>Behind the scenes, local fashion luminaries play a crucial role. Every outfit Mia wears becomes an extension of her emotional arc, expertly curated to reflect the psychological and cultural nuances that make this adaptation so much more than a remake.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751623471742IMG_1418.PNG" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>Anne Curtis in &#x27;It&#x27;s Okay To Not Be Okay&#x27; | Photos from Dreamscape Entertainment&#x27;s trailer</div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751623529285IMG_1421.PNG" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>Anne Curtis in &#x27;It&#x27;s Okay To Not Be Okay&#x27; | Photos from Dreamscape Entertainment&#x27;s trailer</div>Ultimately, Mia Hernandez doesn’t just dress to impress—she dresses to survive, to protect, and, eventually, to reveal. Anne Curtis’ wardrobe in It’s Okay To Not Be Okay is more than fashion—it’s a visual diary of a woman clawing her way back to emotional truth. The Philippine remake honors the original’s styling brilliance, yet reclaims the aesthetic through local artistry, tropical appropriateness, and an emotional fluency that feels deeply rooted in the Filipino experience. It’s a wardrobe worth watching—and one that speaks volumes, even in silence.
