It was a night of gratitude at the Star Magical Christmas 2023 gala with the brightest Kapamilya stars donning their festive looks and auras to spread Yuletide cheer on the white carpet.
Bringing their own interpretation of the theme “Everything Christmas” at the Marriott Hotel in Pasay City last Sunday, Nov. 19, celebrities showed up in glamorous ensembles perfect for the holiday season while bringing toys and gifts for underprivileged children.
Among the highlights of the event were Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano who wore matching attires reminiscent of Holiday Barbie and Ken dolls. The actor looked handsome in his dark green shirt, red blazer jacket, and checkered pants, while the actress did a flirty interpretation of a candy cane in her asymmetrical striped dress.

Angels seem to be the fashion of choice for many celebrities during the Star Magical Christmas 2023 gala, but Maymay Entrata’s simple yet regal take on the seraph – with her wings, sparkly white tube dress with a train, and bright smile – certainly turned heads on the white carpet.
