The Most Stylish Celebrity Couples At The Preview Ball 2025

They say fashion is about expression, but at this year's Preview Ball, it was also about connection and going back to your roots. Following the theme of "Homegrown," which highlights the bustling and talented local fashion scene, celebrity couples who attended didn't just bring glamor; they brought heart and Filipino pride. 

From proudly wearing local designers to celebrating Filipino creativity in every stitch, these couples proved that love looks even better when it's wrapped in something precious and that hits close to home. 

In true Filipino fashion, Jericho Rosales and Janine Gutierrez turned heads at the Preview Ball in coordinated all-white outfits. Our Cosmopolitan Women of Influence 2025 headliner and March 2025 cover star stunned in a sheer top with bell sleeves. By her side, Jericho (who was on the cover of our February 2024 issue) kept it classic yet fresh in a polo barong detailed with floral and leaf embroidery, a subtle nod to local craftsmanship. They served couple goals on multiple levels!

Our February 2025 cover stars, Chloe San Jose and Carlos Yulo, brought their winning chemistry from the Paris Olympics straight to the Preview Ball red carpet. Both paid homage to Filipino fashion with looks that struck the perfect balance between bold and elegant. 

Carlos brought a modern twist to barong, layering it with a cropped top in the same fabric. Meanwhile, Chloe stunned in a white gown with a high slit and delicate beaded details on top. 

For this year's Preview Ball, Seth Fedelin and Francine Diaz made a red carpet comeback—this time, bolder and more refined. Francine kept it chic in a relaxed black dress with layered detailing that cinched at the waist for a soft silhouette. 

Seth, on the other hand, went for an all-black suit elevated with beadwork along the shoulders, adding just the right edge to his look. Together, they struck the perfect balance of sophistication. 

James Reid and Issa Pressman have always had their own take on style—fearless, playful, and never predictable. For the Preview Ball, the duo gave local a modern spin. James kept it sleek in a double-breasted black blazer, paired with a white shirt underneath. Beside him, Issa floated in a white bell-skirt dress crafted from a flowy fabric that moved with her. She paired it with a beanie hat. 

Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca turned the Preview Ball into their runway moment. They owned it with the classic Filipino barong and Filipiniana. Brent wore a classic long-sleeved barong Tagalog, finishing the look with a golden pearl necklace. 

Mika, on the other hand, looked stunning in a white Filipiniana that perfectly hugged her curves. Its fabric gave off a sculpted, marble-like effect, making her look like a living work of art.
