Still on a Hello, Love, Again high, Kathryn and Alden made end-to-end appearances on the Bench catwalk. The show began with ecstatic cheers as Alden Richards opened the show. As the first star on the line-up, the actor walked down the runway uncovering layers of denim. Kathryn Bernardo kept the audience on their toes making her appearance at the show’s finale. Closing the lineup, she made a stunning appearance in a mini denim skirt paired with a bedazzled bra.

No runway is complete without the beat of some music. This year, SB19 brought the energy to the stage with their first-ever live performance of “DAM”. Members Pablo, Josh, Justin, Ken, and Stell took the runway in cool denim looks. Another musical segment of the night was Michelle Dee’s performance of “REYNA”, her first single. She delivered a powerful moment onstage in an all-black underwear look, courtesy of Bench.
