Carla Abellana Talks About Love Post-Divorcen
The GMA Gala 2024 might be over, but the stunning couture gowns we spotted on the red carpet that night are still living in our heads rent-free. From bodacious ball gowns to intricate two-piece ensembles, there was no shortage of fashion statements made that evening.
While other celebrities chose to unapologetically bare some skin on the red carpet, others decided on a more elegant approach. Their frocks might have been more subdued, but they definitely stole the show as they sauntered down the red carpet. Ahead, we list all the classiest gowns we spotted that night:
Celebrities At The GMA Gala 2024 With The Classiest Dresses
Barbie Forteza
Starting the list off strong is Barbie’s voluminous strapless white ball gown by Mak Tumang that made everyone stop and stare as she graced the red carpet. Her frock also included thoughtful details such as the subtle white flowers peppered all over the dress that made it all the more intricate.
For her beauty look, Barbie went for a fresh MOTD that highlighted her features and topped off with a striking red lipstick that complemented her milky complexion. For her hair, she went for a princess-like updo with tendrils that framed her face.

We’re sure we weren’t the only ones waiting with bated breath to see what Heart was going to wear for the gala, and we definitely weren’t disappointed when she came out on the red carpet! She was dressed to the nines in an all-white Giambattista Valli creation with a mermaid silhouette that featured cutouts, a pearl-studded bodice, and intricate rose details around the neck.
Her makeup look that night was also nothing short of stunning, with the fashion icon all dolled up in her signature look. Her features were further sharpened by strategic contour and blush dusted all over her cheeks and the bridge of her nose for a youthful feel.

The reigning Miss Universe Philippines looked absolutely crown-worthy in her ebony halterneck gown. It may look simple, but the pièce de résistance was in the back—it had a bow and beautiful pearl detailing that snaked all the way down her spine.
Her beauty look was kept simple that night—a glowy base, filled-in arches, and a nude pink lippie completed her elegant look.
Marian Rivera

You can always expect Marian to deliver on a red carpet—and deliver, she did! Her strapless black velvet gown was peppered with silver roses all over the neckline and its silhouette hugged her body in all the right places (kind of like what her hubby Dingdong did in that steamy vid they posted later that night). Stunning!
In the beauty department, she went for her classic look—her long hair in waves, cool-toned pink blush to add color to her face, falsies that opened up her eyes, and rosy pink lipstick for her pout.
Jillian Ward

Jillian was a vision in her body-hugging velvet black gown that featured keyhole cutouts on the front and back. It also had a champagne-colored bodice with a jewel-studded lattice. For her beauty look, the 19-year-old actress had on a glowy base, pinky pink cheeks, and glossy lips. Her hair in a high ponytail was the cherry on top of a perfect look!
Coleen Garcia

Clad in a masterful reimagination of classy lingerie, we definitely couldn’t keep our eyes off of Coleen the entire night! Her black velvet gown had a mermaid silhouette with black floral lace details on the bodice and a tulle skirt.
As for her beauty look, Coleen went for a bronzy makeup look that featured a low-key smoky eye and winged eyeliner. A rosy pink lipstick finished off the look.

Glaiza stood out from all the black gowns on the red carpet with her white chainmail gown with flapper details and a white tulle shawl. In the beauty department, the actress went for strong arches, a contoured complexion, a smoky eye, and a glossy lip.
