And with this event, it means that everbody came with their most fashionable do! So who topped our list for the “Best Dressed Of The Ball?” For this edition of Best Dressed, I’ve chosen eight stunning ladies whom I think are the fairest of the night.

7.

5.

Rissa Mananquil is a model and former President of  Professional Models Association Of  The Philippines (PMAP) from 2003-2008.  She really knows how to work it, she have this translucent beauty that I just love about her!

4.

Actress Ann Curtis was wearing this revealing Rajo Laurel black dress which complimented her gorgeous features. What a goddess really.

3.

Janna Tee I know nothing about Janna Tee. I haven’t seen her in person and I read that she’s actually a model. A beautiful one indeed wearing this grecian-inspired dress.

2.

Apples Aberin was also a model and a former president of PMAP. She was a judge at the first and second season of Project Runway Philippines and will comeback again for the upcoming season 3 of the show. She is wearing the creation of her fellow Project Runway judge, Rajo Laurel. Doesn’t she look exceptional?

I wish I could fly to New York now to witness the Alexander McQueen:Savage Beauty Exhibition but since I can’t – I’ll just satisfy myself with all the images from the net. EK. It sucks,really. Lee is one of my favorite designers and now that he’s gone, I feel that I need to really see this one!!!!

The Exhibit started last May and will run until August 7, 2011. If I could magically teleport or  become a “Jumper,” I’d definitely go right there at this very moment! I’m not sure why the Metropolitan Museum of Art isn’t extending it to coincide with the Fashion Week. I guess I’ll just wait until I get the chance to intern with Sarah Burton – haha.

Amanda Bynes was wearing a Herve Leger Bandage dress a a Christian Loubotin’s Change of the Guard sandals. We’re  not really loving it. It kinda look “snooki-ish.”
