Pia Wurtzbach-Jauncey walked through the halls of the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Newport World Resorts for the Preview Ball 2026—her stance confident, bold, and striking as ever. Her interpretation of the “deconstructed” dress code led to a darker and more unexpected look from the 2025 Style Icon, yet her conviction in her sartorial senses was unmissable.
Ahead, Preview chats with Perry Tabora, Pia’s core stylist, about her look for the evening.
Perry Tabora on Pia Wurtzbach-Jauncey’s “Deconstructed” Look
“Deconstructed doesn’t have to be overly complicated,” says Perry. “I wanted something raw and undone but still polished, where you can actually see the construction of the clothes.” A Rick Owens ensemble personified this vision, which “just made sense” for the stylist and his muse.

The piece enveloped Pia’s skin in all the right ways. The high neckline, combined with a high center-front slit, created an elongated and statuesque silhouette. Raw, frayed edges and exposed paneling adorned the ensemble. Its differing textures also influenced how the light reflected, creating a dimensional appearance despite its monochromatic palette. “It feels raw and almost unfinished, but the silhouette is still strong and sexy.”
Opera gloves seamlessly complemented Pia’s knee-high boots by Tom Ford, while gleaming earrings by Bvlgari framed her face. With her braided ponytail by Jeck Aguilar and sultry glam by Justin Soriano, her gritty look still maintained a polished aura.

A fashion girl through and through, Pia simply loves trying new looks. Perry shares, “She’s always open to experimenting with fashion.” With that said, her look for the evening had a more undone approach than her usual, but it remained sexy, confident, and most of all, “very Pia.”
