The 2024 GMA Gala was a night to remember, with a dazzling array of guests and enchanting moments. The annual convergence of the showbiz’ brightest stars, themed “Bling”, was held last July 20 at the Marriott Hotel, and drew an elite crowd of celebrities, dignitaries, and influencers. A shimmering cascade of black and white gowns and suits adorned the red carpet as soon as it opened.
The exquisite ambiance was the perfect set-up for some notable encounters which included captivating performances, heartfelt speeches, and the much-anticipated award presentations. Experience some of the evening’s winning moments in this photo gallery:
