A matter of days after she graced the Taipei Film Festival as a representative of Filipino cinema, Maris Racal makes headlines anew. This time, she's bidding farewell to her character Gab Rivera as ABS-CBN action drama Incognito comes to a close. To mark the end of an era—and perhaps to signal a new one—she attended the show's finale media conference with her shortest haircut to date.

Maris stepped into the event in a cream-toned dress that had an asymmetrical neckline and a cut-out on the side of the torso that gathered and created texture. The frock, designed by King George Bueno, was styled by Adrianne Concepcion with nude pumps and simple stud earrings.

Inarguably, though, the scene-stealer in Maris' look was her layered pixie cut wig in a warm auburn hue. Brushed and tousled to perfection by Aries Manal, the daring new 'do complemented a dewy makeup look done by Jay Salcedo.

Incognito was something that challenged Maris in more ways than one. During the conference, she thanked the show for trusting her with the role of Gab, referring to it as a project that "saved" her.

"It was challenging for me because there were moments when I doubted myself if I could really do it," she shared. "You have no idea how much it saved me, and it made me grow as an actor."
