Remember the canary yellow dress she wore to GMA Gala 2022?
It became a hot topic then because the event theme was “formal black and white.”

Amy Austria, too.
At 62, a fan aptly described her as "elegant."
The veteran actress was part of Kapuso series Hearts on Ice, which aired from March 13 to June 16, 2023.
BAKIT WALA SI JEN?
Meanwhile, if there’s a Pinakahinahanap Award, it would go to Jennylyn Mercado.
Her fans noticed her absence when Dennis Trillo walked the red carpet alone.

HOT COUPLES
Among the couples, Yassi Pressman and her boyfriend, Governor Luigi Villafierte, drew many comments and reactions.
Some were gushing about Yassi’s “fabulous” look; others mentioned “mukbang,” referring to the couples viral kissing photos.
Meanwhile, the arrival of Billy Crawford and Coleen Garcia was a delightful surprise for Kapuso viewers, who couldn't help but be starstruck by Coleen's beauty.
COMMENT-MAGNET GUYS
The gentlemen were not spared from the comments.
A netizen asked Mike Tan, who was clad in a coat-and-shorts ensemble, “Kinulang ka po ba sa tela?”
His outfit effortlessly stood out among the gentlemen.
A fan lauded him, “Wow. Perfect.”
Tonton Gutierrez, as always, looked dapper in his suit.
A netizen jokingly said, "Amen, Father," but most onlookers at the venue raved about his ageless appeal. Can you believe he is 57?

Let's not forget Ricky Davao, who, at 63, is "puwedeng-puwede pang rumampa sa red carpet."
South Korean actor Kim Ji Soo, although he seemed camera conscious, earned cheers.
In the comments section, his fans wrote, “So handsome.”
Ji Soo appeared on Black Rider, which was top-billed by Ruru Madrid.
“NAKAKALAT NA PAPEL”
Of course, the eagle-eyed netizens did not miss the tiniest details, including the “nakakalat na papel” on the red carpet.
But Pau Guevarra, the photographer representing Summit Media websites that evening, pointed out that the paper actually served as a “marker” for the picture-taking.
Meanwhile, a few Tiktok users commented about the “hindi mabuksan” bag of Kate Valdez.
One quipped (published as is), “Baka sumabog.”
One suggested (published as is), “tekooo balik mo yaan ahh ilalagay pa natin yan sa Christmas tree natinnn..”
