Marian Rivera continues her fashionable streak. For a red charity gala night that she recently attended, the Preview inaugural Style Icon stunned in a black and gold number that doubled as a styling masterclass.

Celebrity stylist Melville Sy of Studio 24C chose a black House of CB velvet gown that hugged Marian's figure beautifully. In addition to its texture, the dress became the perfect canvas to highlight the stunning Bulgari jewelry and accessories.
Reflecting Marian's personality, the Bulgari pieces are from the Tubogas Collection, which is all about boldness and modernity. The actress wore the yellow gold necklace, assymetric cuff, earrings, and the Spheres Clutch in calf leather.

In the context of beauty, hairstylist Justine Ocampo and makeup artist Anthea Bueno both referenced Korean drama actresses. In an interview with Preview, both creatives shared their respective visions.
"I wanted to keep the hair clean, sleek and sophisticated, with that effortless elegance we often see on Korean actresses on the red carpet. I wanted the hair to feel like an extension of the look rather than compete with it—framing her features, highlighting her beauty, and allowing the Bvlgari jewelry to shine," said Justine.
Anthea shared, "For Marian’s look, I wanted modern classic glamour with a subtle nod to K-drama actresses, particularly in the way they wear a smoky eye—soft, elongated, and defined without feeling too strong. I paired it with soft semi-matte skin, a diffused rosy flush, and a muted rosy-nude lip, keeping everything refined and understated for that signature Marian Rivera elegance."
