Kyline Alcantara may have already walked hundreds of red carpets, but her entrance at the GMA Gala 2025 was an extra-special strut for the actress. 

In an exclusive chat with Preview, her long-time stylist Melville Sy of Studio 24C reveals that they have planned for this look in advance, as it was the first gala she graced solo. Not only was her fashion choice an ornate spectacle; it also carried a very personal meaning.

"I just want to present myself as a very strong individual. So this [look] speaks for itself," Kyline confidently responded when blue carpet livestream co-host Martin Javier asked about the story behind her outfit. Clad in a fully-embellished and meticulously hand-beaded gown by London-based label Annie's Ibiza, Kyline certainly channeled the vibe, and exuded feminine strength and elegance. After all, as Melville shared, this was her first formal outing as a single, independent woman.

Aptly called the Joan of Arc, the dress was inspired by the warrior saint. The pattern of the frock's glass beadwork was a nod to medieval architecture and featured stained glass cathedral windows, while the choice of rich hues such as deep burgundy, indigo, and gold and the pairing of the bolero mimicked military suits from the Middle Ages. "It is heavy. It's like wearing weights," Kyline revealed during the livestream interview. 

To complete her look for the night, she swapped the diamond studs she wore on her pre-event shoot at Las Casas de Azucar and instead opted for delicate dangling earrings from Bulgari's Diva's Dream collection.

Since the dress was already very ornate, Kiel Otilla slicked back Kyline's hair for a clean up-do. Makeup artist Gela Laurel kept her glam soft and earthy, with a winged smokey eye and nude lips. 
SHOP:
While Kyline's dress was a custom order that was made exactly to her measurements, you can cop the style for a pretty penny.
