Liza Soberano continues to make strides in Hollywood in her own fashion, but this time, she celebrates the glory of Philippine cinema with her as she attends the second Manila International Film Festival (MIFF) this year. The MIFF aims to recognize Philippine cinema on a global scale, and for this year, it’s even bigger than ever. During its run the last week, celebrities like Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino, Ruru Madrid, and Dingdong Dantes were in attendance at the red carpet events and soirees of the festival. This time, it was Liza who graced the events and she did so with impeccable looks.

At the festival, she first came in a scarlet-hued gown that definitely turned heads onstage. And for the formal dinner with the First Lady pf the Philippines Liza Marcos, she went for a minimalist yet elegant look, fit for the occasion. To know more about the looks, Metro spoke to her stylist Perry Tabora to know more about these pieces.

Liza in an Anthony Ramirez look

The body-hugging red look with flared bottoms is an Anthony Ramirez creation. But there is more to this scarlet-hued look than it seems. “This masterpiece was crafted from a bespoke Inabel fabric, intricately woven in La Union. Every thread was meticulously chosen by Liza and me, ensuring that the gown not only reflected her elegance but also paid homage to our cultural heritage,” says Perry.

It is important for Perry and Liza to have a purely Filipino design moment for this occasion. “By incorporating the artistry of Inabel weaving into fashion, we aimed to celebrate Filipino craftsmanship on an international stage while redefining the essence of modern elegance,” Perry continues.

Liza in a Dang Hoang look

The elegant satin knot top looks of Liza was also a stunner. Designed by Dang Hoang, a Vietnamese brand, the look is an asymmetrical softy draped satin top further modernized by a pair of high-waisted black trousers. “This look is a refined balance of structure and fluidity, making it an elegant choice for a formal dinner with the First Lady,” Perry ends.

It is Liza’s second time attending the event and with this she also teased some of her new projects we have yet to find out this year.
