Standout beauties at Preview Ball 2026

Standout beauties (L-R) Claudia Barretto, Michelle Dee, and Pia Wurtzbach turn heads at Preview Ball 2026 with inventive takes on the night's Deconstructed Fashion theme.

Filipino fashion came alive at the Preview Ball 2026, as designers, artists, tastemakers, and style stars gathered at the Marriott Grand Ballroom of Marriott Manila on September 10 to celebrate Preview’s 31st year.

This year’s theme "Deconstructed Fashion" invited guests to look beyond the finished garment and explore the layers, techniques, and materials that shape Filipino design.

From unconventional tailoring and sheer layers to sculptural silhouettes, intricate embellishments, and unexpected takes on familiar forms, these beauties brought their own interpretations of the theme to the ball.

Here are some of the standout looks that caught our eye on the black carpet.

STANDOUT BEAUTIES

Michelle Dee

Michelle Dee put a sharp, architectural spin on the deconstructed theme in a fitted navy ensemble with striking cutouts and contrasting panels.

The sleek silhouette was broken up by pale-blue accents, a metallic belt detail, and a darker lower section, creating an unexpected interplay between structure and skin.
