Maris Racal made a graceful appearance at the 42nd Star Awards, held by the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) on October 25, 2026, at Winford Resort and Casino. The actress, who earned critical acclaim for her performance in Sunshine, embraced understated glamour in a pale blue gown with a fluid silhouette and delicate, airy details.

Styled by Adrianne Concepcion and Via Abarra, Maris wore a custom creation by Vee Tan that balanced clean, structured lines with a sense of softness. The strapless column gown featured a fitted bodice and a gently flared skirt, while a sheer, sweeping tulle shawl introduced movement and an almost weightless quality to the ensemble.

Maris maintained a cohesive color palette with a custom sapphire and diamond jewelry set by Diagold Jewelry. The deep blue gemstones introduced a rich contrast to the gown's delicate pastel hue, adding just enough visual interest without overwhelming the look's understated elegance.
Completing the look was a sleek, center-parted bun by hairstylist Aries Manal, which kept the focus on Maris's face and the gown's clean neckline. Makeup artist Jay Salcedo complemented the polished hairstyle with softly defined eyes, warm brown tones, flushed cheeks, and a muted rose lip, lending warmth to the ensemble's cool blue palette.
