When Vice Ganda commits to a project, she will never show up underprepared. For receipts, we’d like to point you to her OOTNs on &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/everybody-sing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Everybody, Sing!</a>&quot;. The Kapamilya community singing game show, which aired its first three seasons from 2021 to 2024, features &#x27;songbayanans&#x27; or groups of everyday Filipinos competing in different rounds of singing challenges for a shot at the prize money (up to P2 million). Apart from the feel-good sing-along sessions and Vice’s hilarious banter with the players, we also loved tuning in for her weekly transformations, as she would dress up in elaborate looks that paid creative homage to the community represented by each episode’s &#x27;songbayanan,&#x27; or sometimes as popular icons and fictional characters just for fun.<div> </div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/5/1/throwback-all-jackpot-winning-moments-of-songbayanans-in-everybody-sing-0206" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WATCH: Throwback: All jackpot-winning moments of Songbayanans in “Everybody, Sing!”</a></div><div> </div>According to her stylist Aron Mangsat in a past interview with ABS-CBN, this direction was intentional, as they wanted to reintroduce Vice with a more refreshed and elevated hosting aesthetic that veered away from her usual outfits in her other shows. With &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/everybody-sing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Everybody, Sing!</a>&quot; finally making its comeback this Saturday, May 2, consider us already seated for Vice’s next lineup of show-stopping looks that turn every episode into its own kind of costume party. But before the new season drops, let’s look back at her standout ensembles from Seasons 1 to 3.Kicking off Season 1, Vice set the tone in a visual inspired by Audrey Hepburn—little black dress, opera gloves, and classic pearls, finished with an elegant updo. And then for the episode featuring fitness instructors, she recreated cartoon character Betty Boop&#x27;s figure-flattering silhouette and short curls. Vice also gave us an adorable Minnie Mouse moment in a red polka-dot number with her hair styled into two perfectly rounded buns topped with Minnie&#x27;s signature red bow. For the janitors and cleaners&#x27; episode, Vice probably thought her guests deserved a little &#x27;royal&#x27; treatment, so she showed up as Princess Diana, specifically in her legendary wedding look. The white gown with its ruffled neckline and dramatic puffed sleeves, paired with a sparkling tiara and a cascading bouquet, was so detailed.The ‘songbayanang’ massage therapists must have felt Cleopatra&#x27;s luck when Vice greeted them in that costume, as they ended the episode with P500,000 prize money in hand. Anchored by a sleek bob, a smoky, dramatic eye, and a statement gold-and-jeweled collar, the look  truly embodied the Egyptian queen’s power.By Season 2, Vice&#x27;s looks started to directly mirror the jobs and &#x27;categories&#x27; of the songbayanans. For the All Souls&#x27; Day episode dedicated to funeral and cemetery workers, she gave &#x27;spooky glam&#x27; in a black bodice decked out in glittering skeleton embellishments. For her statement accessory, she went for an oversized floral wreath with a bold “Happy Trip!” banner.  Vice leaned into the holiday vibe when she met the &#x27;songbayanan&#x27; of Christmas workers. She was basically, well, a walking holiday display, with a dress covered in gem-like ornaments that mimicked Christmas balls, matched with glossy green platform boots. But our favorite part of the whole spread was the starburst installation behind her—just the perfect fashion statement to honor the group that keeps the holiday spirit alive year after year. In an episode with Typhoon Karding survivors and heroes, she curated an “ayuda”-inspired visuals that cleverly incorporated relief essentials—canned goods, instant noodles, and toiletries—into the whole outfit. The theme, which we also associate with &#x27;bayanihan,&#x27; resonated deeply when she boosted the players&#x27; P60,000 jackpot winnings with an extra P40,000. Vice brought the fields to the &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/everybody-sing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Everybody, Sing!</a>&quot; stage for the &#x27;magsasaka&#x27; players. Topping her &#x27;harvest&#x27; look was a headdress made of bundled &#x27;palay&#x27; that fanned out like a crown.The Unkabogable Superstar also once served under-the-sea fantasy for the &#x27;songbayanan&#x27; of &#x27;mangingisda,&#x27; flaunting aquatic glamour in a mermaid-core costume with shimmering, scale-like textures. Of course, a statement headpiece completed the oceanic illusion.  Literally putting words into fashion, she pulled off a white garb with voluminous sleeves printed with handwritten-style text, referencing the letters featured in &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/maalaala-mo-kaya" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Maalaala Mo Kaya</a>,&quot; in an episode featuring MMK letter-senders. Our &#x27;Meme&#x27; also embodied the Quiapo vendor vibe by carrying a fully styled vending cart stocked with candles and bottles of &#x27;herbal remedies&#x27; sold in Quiapo. Wrapped in a bright creation with floral accents, and a sparkly crystal belt bag, the outfit captured the color and charm that defines the everyday Quiapo scene. Vice kept the creativity going in Season 3, with every look still tied to the identity of the &#x27;songbayanan.&#x27; For instance, what better way to represent the &#x27;songbayanang&#x27; college graduates of 2023 than by wearing a black graduation gown?  Then, highlighting the &#x27;mag-aama&#x27; tandems in a special Father’s Day episode, she went for a humorous reference to banana ketchup with a brand name that reminds us of our dads—and it seemed to come with a bit of luck, too, as the father-and-child pairs went on to take home the ₱2 million jackpot. The looks kept getting more inventive, from literally showing up as an egg in honor of the ‘balut&#x27; vendors, to picking a glossy, garbage bag-like dress that paid tribute to the group of &#x27;mangangalakal.&#x27; Vice then injected creativity into her white nurse&#x27;s uniform costume covered with syringe. She literally brought the &#x27;gamot sa lungkot&#x27; with a look showcasing over-the-counter staples, with details that mimicked medicine packaging and capsules. There was certainly a dose of good fortune in that ensemble because the group of pharmacists and drug store employees bagged the P2 million jackpot. She also fully committed to representing the &#x27;songbayanang&#x27; sanitation workers by donning an upcycled fashion project, complete with a garbage bag in hand while hosting. Then she turned herself into a &#x27;tindahan&#x27; on legs, with typical &#x27;sari-sari store&#x27; items styled into her outfit so convincingly, you’d half-expect her to start selling &#x27;tingi&#x27; items right there. All for the love of the sari-sari store sellers who participated in the game!  Vice has already served us iconic looks—but what do you want her to wear next? Don’t miss the Season 4 pilot weekend of &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/everybody-sing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Everybody, Sing!</a>&quot; this Saturday and Sunday, May 2 and 3, at 8:30 PM on ABS-CBN sa ALLTV2, A2Z, Kapamilya Channel, <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iWant</a>, and Kapamilya Online Live (KOL) on the ABS-CBN Entertainment YouTube channel. <div> </div><div>*Photos credit to Vice Ganda IG </div>
