Clad in a bedazzling Mark Bumgarner custom Balintawak, Liza looked every bit a modern Filipina.
The gown featured studs that ran from the butterfly sleeves down to the skirt's hem, a sheer outer layer, and a translucent midriff.
To complete her look, Liza wore her hair in a half ponytail, courtesy of Ryan Richman, who has worked with Lea Michele, Cara Delevigne, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Leslie Mann, Kaia Gerber, and Sadie Sink.
Meanwhile, Korean make-up artist Pircilla Pae did her magic for Liza's quintessential oriental look, emphasized by the eyelid crease liner.
Like Ryan, Pircilla is no stranger to A-listers as well, having worked with Jennifer Connelly, BLACKPINK member Jennie, Demi Moore, Lil Nas X, and Kit Harrington, to name a few.
Finally, her sparkly diamond accessories are from the Los Angeles-based full-service jewelry store, Global Rings Jewelry Inc..
