MANILA, Philippines - The country's political and economic elite walked the red carpet in elegant and dazzling Filipiniana during President Benigno Aquino III's third State of the Nation Address (SONA) at the Batasan Complex in Quezon City on Monday, July 23.
RAPPLER was there to cover the news, but we couldn't help spotting these 5 women who were scene-stealers in their outfits:
KAYE TINGA was elegant in her fishtail gown by Pepito Albert. The textured off-shoulder neckline's workmanship is commendable. Kaye is the wife of Taguig Rep. Sigfrido R. Tinga. Photo by Voltaire Tupaz
SEN. PIA CAYETANO wore a 1920s-inspired, champagne Filipiniana. It was modernized with embelishments like feathers on layered tulle. Photo by Voltaire Tupaz
FORMER AKBAYAN REP. RISA HONTIVEROS wore a bold "North meets South" ensemble of T'nalak bolero and a yellow Abel Iloco serpentina. The two fabrics stand for the diversity of Filipino culture, Hontiveros said. Photo by Voltaire Tupaz
JUSTICE SEC. LEILA DE LIMA wore a tiered velvet Bayanihan number. The halter-neck-strap detail made the neckline more modern. Photo by Voltaire Tupaz
GABRIELA REP. LUZ ILAGAN wore a green and pink checkered Bayanihan with an 'alampay' and 'tapis' that reveal a call for women’s access to healthcare. Photo by Carlos Santamaria
