For this red carpet OOTD, Alden was styled by Melville Sy, Maita Baello, and Shark Tanael of Studio 24c.

In a short chat with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), Melville said, “We usually go for classic premium fabrics. This time we tried a different fabric for him, but still, it looks classic and timeless.”

GMA-7 organized the gala night to celebrate the network’s 72nd anniversary.

The gala night also doubled as a fundraising event for the Kapuso Foundation’s classroom reconstruction projects. One of the project’s beneficiaries is Magallanes Elementary School in Limasawa Island, which was struck by Typhoon Odette.
