@teenvogue & @imdb revealed in the get to know the @crazyrichasians CAST that i portray Princess Intan; i shall try to always be 100% honest & transparent because you are part of my life’s journey... dry heat is bad & precipitation here in LA is now at 0%. Hives on my arms are out in full force even if i stayed put indoors... i shall just pray & have #FAITH. Took my medication & had my diphenhydramine shot, put Fucidin on the hives because some of them ruptured & bled out... tomorrow my doctor will give me low dose steroids w/ my anti allergy medication. In this instance- it is really in God’s hands to HEAL me enough- but i need to do my part & totally REST this weekend. 5 AM here, adjusting to the 15 hour time difference. Waiting for my BP to stabilize before i sleep. Because sya yung unang nakapansin, even @rbchanco nag rashes na rin all over sa tension... my friends @iamgarygarcia & Veronica who is a registered nurse rushed over... naawa ako to wake up my doctor since for sure later he’ll be the 1 super monitoring... We told RB, RCA na sya talaga, adopted family member na namin- 1st in ???????? sya yung nagbantay w/ me kay kuya josh when he had his 48 hours bad acid reflux attack & now sya ang naka bantay sa kin since we let Bincai rest because sumobra na rin ang nonstop stress nya w/ me from ???????? now to the ????????. #prayers #healing #thywillbedone ????

Hello from LA. ???????? Hindi pinayagan ni Dr. Piano lumabas because today was very hot & dry, meaning the air would have a lot of allergens present- so i obeyed & just slept then i watched a lot of “The Good Fight” on CBS All Access (i love my law shows & legal thrillers ??) Thanks @iamgarygarcia for taking Kuya Josh to his forever happy place Chuck E Cheese... Thanks @nix722 for sending this to me, Bimb was finally impressed w/ his Mama- he said “whoa, you’re on Teen Vogue?” Now all of you know why i’m grounded, w/ my feet firmly planted on the ground. #familylife Looking forward to my lunch on Monday w/ the Fil-Am community. @crazyrichasians #pinoypride #philippines ??????????????????????????

In the end, she walked the red carpet wearing a bright yellow ensemble by Leyva. The gown, with a plunging neckline and a sequined huge bow belt, was accentuated with a custom-made jewelry.

Kris’s makeup was by her personal makeup artist, RB Chanco, who recently released a makeup book. The actress’ hair, meanwhile, is by Los Angeles-based celebrity hairstylist Pin Antonio.

Kris was escorted by her son, Bimby, who wore a Barong Tagalog.

“This was the reason we made the effort to be here.... it is my honor to proudly represent the Philippines. Maraming salamat po sa effort nyo to show your love & support! #kaysarapmagingpilipino,” the actress said in a post.
