In this age of nowness, the world has celebrated women for their achievements and contributions to various industries. Their work, passion, dedication and commitment are highlighted as they become an inspiration to many.
At the recent PeopleAsia magazine’s Women of Style and Substance awards night held at the City of Dreams Manila, an impeccable lineup of women was awarded for their notable contributions in their respective fields and for some, to the country.
It was a night of celebration as women (and men) dressed up for the much-awaited annual occasion. The well-attended gathering was graced by Manila’s A-listers, fashion personalities, celebrities, high society and the diplomatic community. The red carpet, as always, was rolled out and the style meter was once again up.
As the parade of breathtaking gowns unfurled, a few stood out like glittering stars in their most stellar attraction. The dress, beauty, style, overall look and presence all added up to a distinct statement of fashion.
