Preview Honors This Year's Best Dressed List at the Preview Ball 2025

Brent Manalo, Maja Salvador, and the rest of the honorees graced the Preview Ball stage to receive their award.

Published on Sep 3, 2025

The Preview Best Dressed List honors Filipino personalities whose identities clearly shine through their style, regardless of generation or industry.

In 2025, the distinction goes to 10 individuals who embody what it means to be best dressed, carrying the confidence and conviction that fashion is a medium for telling their own stories. Whether on-screen, where they’ve carved their paths in show business, or off-screen through established entrepreneurial pursuits, each honoree exemplifies the value of being homegrown—in who they are and in how they dress.

Upon the curation of the prestigious list, the questions came from none other than the awardees themselves. There was “Are you sure you're asking me or one of my clients?” from John Lozano, and “Am I reading this right?” from Dom Canlas. Shar Cabigas also wondered, “Wait, me?” while Maja Salvador asked, “Ako? Is this real?”

If anything, the initial reaction of being engulfed in disbelief captures the characteristic that the honorees unknowingly share: They simply don what resonates with their own spirits, despite what anyone else might think. Being in touch with who they are and knowing what makes them feel their best guarantees that they will always look and feel at home, no matter what they’re wearing.

“I’ve always wanted to be part of it,” Brent Manalo expressed. “I think it’s also vindication for all the times I would think to myself that maybe I’m not stylish enough yet, or that I still have to explore more when it comes to fashion.” Echoing the sentiments of diminishing self-doubt when it comes to style, Enchong Dee emphasized, “I didn't realize how freeing it is to dress up for yourself.”
