The actress embodied the modern Filipina in a Daryl Maat barong, which screams of nostalgia with its sorbetes and pad paper print—befitting the occasion. Stylist Danae Vernisse paired it with a STEPHVERANO fragmented maxi skirt and golden monstera accessories.
Tying the ensemble together, makeup artist Owen Sarmiento went for a clean and glowing makeup look for the actress—winged eyeliner, tidy brows, and flushed cheeks and lips. Finally, hairstylist Raymart Espina showcased the actress' natural beauty with a chic ponytail.
Congratulations, Kathryn!
