Scientifically speaking, celestial beings shine brighter together because their collective energy creates a more powerful and vibrant light. And much like the stars in the sky, when individuals with a heart for storytelling—whether in the spotlight or behind the scenes— join forces, their unique talents and strengths combine to amplify creativity and passion, giving birth to extraordinary stories. 

This spirit of collaboration was on full display at the "ABS-CBN Ball 2025: Brighter Together," held on Friday, April 4. Illuminated by the beauty of Filipino storytelling, it celebrated not only the glimmering stars on screen, but also the hardworking individuals behind the scenes. Together, they created a night that was as brilliant and unforgettable as the stories they tell.

Attendees stepped onto the red carpet in their dreamiest ensembles. From beauiful and delicate gowns to sleek, handsome tuxedos, the stars truly proved that when they shine, they do so with undeniable style and flair. With the theme 'Spring Formal,' the red carpet was detailed with nods to the season of blooms and florals and fairytales. 

The evening was attended by the cast of favorite Kapamilya teleseryes like "FPJ's Batang Quiapo" and "Incognito," as well as stars from variety shows "It's Showtime" and "ASAP."  

Both veteran artists and up-and-coming talents added to the night's star-studded glow. The "PBB Gen 11" ex-housemates made their refreshing debut at the ABS-CBN Ball, while the Star Magic artists brought their fashion A-game in tailored ensembles that radiated delicate sophistication. Music icons, hosts, and performers walked the red carpet in show-stopping ensembles. 

Love and fashion are the perfect pair, and we saw a touch of romance on the red carpet as couples and loveteams walked side by side. Yet, many stars also showcased their individual style and charisma. 

The red carpet at the ABS-CBN Ball 2025 was graced by the finest ladies and gentlemen, friends, collaborators, and icons of the industry, each bringing their own unique brilliance and elegance to the evening.

But beyond the glamour, the event serves a greater purpose. As in previous editions, the ABS-CBN Ball 2025 is held for the benefit of the ABS-CBN Foundation, with a portion of the proceeds going toward supporting the foundation’s advocacies and empowering communities in need.
