A fancy event is always a great reason to dress up. These occasions require you to display your style quotient in pretty frocks and sky-high heels while having a great time with your friends and mingling with excellent company.

We were able to attend a couple of launch parties recently, and we kept our eyes peeled for the hottest ensembles worn by our favorite local stylistas. Our first stop was the launch of Rajo Laurel’s new line for shoe brands Parisian and Milanos, where we got our fill of gorgeous ladies like Divine Lee, Jolina Magdangal, and Alyanna Martinez in absolutely stunning outfits. We also went to the launch party of Elle Decoration, Summit Media’s newest publication, where we took some style notes from Manila’s most fashionable personalities, such as Bea Tantoco, Sandra Seifert, and Phoemela Barranda.

Browse through the gallery to see what these fashionistas wore to these events!
