Anyone fairly familiar with the Philippine fashion scene is bound to spot a Rajo Laurel creation from a mile away. With sculptural silhouettes, dramatic details, and a deep-rooted love for nature, his work carries a distinct signature style.

So when Vietnamese singer-model Hồ Ngọc Hà appeared in two of his designs, it didn’t go unnoticed. The outfits not only reflected Rajo’s unmistakable aesthetic, but they also seemed to reference two of his most iconic creations in recent years (hint: you likely remember seeing them on Nadine Lustre, too).

Following one of her recent shows, Hồ Ngọc Hà took to Instagram to share photos of her performance looks, simply captioned: “Thank you @rajolaurel for these beautiful dresses.” And beautiful they were—each one a striking expression of Rajo Laurel’s meticulous hand and sharp attention to detail.

In the first look, she wore a soft ivory asymmetrical dress with a dramatic single puffed sleeve that fanned outward like an unfolding petal that's almost reminiscent of the nautilus-inspired ensemble Rajo created for Nadine Lustre at the 2025 ABS-CBN Ball. 

The pleated detailing across the bodice and waist gave structure to the silhouette, while the sweeping train added movement and theatricality. The off-shoulder cut created negative space that balanced the volume of the sleeve, allowing her natural poise to shine through. Paired with classic pointed pumps in a matching neutral tone, the styling kept the focus squarely on the garment’s architecture.

Her second ensemble—a fully fringed metallic column gown in a soft taupe hue—was even more precise in its drama. And in case the frock looks familiar, it appears to be the same terno Nadine wore when she won Best Actress at the 2023 FAMAS Awards.

Composed of finely pleated fabric that created a subtle sheen and texture, the dress hugged her figure before cascading into a fringed finish that swept the floor. The sharp butterfly-sleeved shoulders and exposed neckline referenced Rajo’s fondness for modern romanticism, while the fabric manipulation added dimension from every angle. Delicate braiding down the front and sleeves gave the look tactile interest without distracting from the sleek silhouette.
