<p>The future has been activated, running on full bandwidth as Star Magical Prom 2026: The Future opened a portal where imagination meets destiny. </p><p>Held on Friday, June 26, at Bellevue Manila, Star Magic reimagined prom night through a futuristic lens. Sure, the cyber-chic fashion was enough to leave us speechless. But what made this year&#x27;s prom truly iconic was the celebration of where these young stars are headed next. </p><p>Here&#x27;s your &#x27;full download&#x27; of everything that made the night unforgettable.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Access Granted: Infinity Runway  </strong></div><p>Ditching the usual fairytale romance for techno glam, stars and guests walked the Infinity Runway, a unique spin on the traditional red carpet, featuring a neon sci-fi tunnel.  </p><p>Standing by to greet every stylish arrival were runway hosts Ralph de Leon and Shanaia Gomez. After their walk, artists dropped their handwritten manifestation into a time capsule.  </p><p>Even the guest list seemed to extend beyond Earth as armored space warriors marched through the venue, because, apparently the invitation reached a galaxy far, far away.  </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>The Style Matrix </strong></div><p>From metallic fabrics and shimmering embellishments to avant-garde creation, the stellar night was a showcase of limitless imagination.  </p><p>The Cyber Maidens—the young ladies who came to party—owned their entrance with confidence. Former child actress Jana Agoncillo had the honor of opening the Infinity Runway, turning it into her own fashion universe in an ivory number with feathered details. She finished the look with a mirrored silver clutch reminiscent of a star, which added just the right cosmic touch. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sVIa-kLXN5A" title="The Cyber Maidens serve supernova energy on the Infinity Runway | Star Magical Prom 2026" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Krystal Mejes, who took the crown as Prom Princess, lived up to her name as she sparkled in a black-and-silver sequin masterpiece. Krystal also got the spotlight over the interview corner with Ralph and Shanaia where she shared a piece of advice for Star Magic&#x27;s newest artists, saying the secret to shining bright is to always remain genuine. </p><p>Reich Alim, another ex-housemate from &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab-v2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>PBB Collab Edition 2.0</em></u></strong></a>,&quot; floated onto the runway with digital siren energy. She wore an ethereal silhouette with wavy accents around the hips that looked like stardust in photos.  &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pbbgen112024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>PBB Gen 11</em></u></strong></a>&quot; alum Kolette Madelo made a bold statement in a two-piece ensemble that highlights a midriff-baring cut.  </p><p>Heart Ramos went for a playful, intergalactic aesthetic in a metallic pink mini dress complete with sculptural shoulders, glossy leggings, and white ankle boots, looking like a pop princess straight out of a robotic video game. Meanwhile, Kanata delivered just the right amount of sweet in a monochromatic magenta dress. The future can be powered by pink, too, right? </p><p>But while others leaned into metallic and neon hues, Chunsa Jung picked an ivory gown with a bow neckline. Misha de Leon served android-coded colors in black and white. </p><p>Of course, the Gent Zs gave classic menswear an upgrade. &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab-v2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>PBB Collab 2.0</em></u></strong></a>&quot; alum Fred Moser looked ready to command the future in a long black coat accented with cobalt panels and structured shoulders. His Y3K look got the perfect finishing touch when he was crowned Prom Prince later that evening. </p><p>Rave Victoria stole hearts in a powder blue suit with some cascading crystals that resembled falling icicles, while Inigo Jose let texture do the talking in a shimmering cobalt blue &#x27;fit that looked like a galaxy woven into fabric.  </p><p>All-black never misses, too—Marc Santiago is proof. Meanwhile, Ashton Salvador was every bit the modern gentleman in a textured navy suit.  </p><p>P-Pop group WRIVE turned the Infinity Runway into their own stage with coordinated attire in silver, black, and metallic tones. Also joining the stylish lineup were Lance Lucido, Omar Uddin, Jan Silva, Bryce Andres, JP Cabrera, and Ice Almeria. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RJDKJGniEBs" title="Modern gentlemen! The Gent-Zs step into the Infinity Runway | Star Magical Prom 2026" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>No celebration of &quot;The Future&quot; would be complete without the young dreamers who represent exactly that. As Star Magic continues to shape the industry&#x27;s next generation of artists, the Star Hunt trainees stepped onto the Infinity Runway. </p><p>During her runway interview, Krystal Brimner shared that not only does Star Magic develop talent, it also teaches her how to effectively communicate through her performances. And if her black-and-silver OOTN was telling us something, the message was loud and clear— she&#x27;s only getting started. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WbPKTbuXWCs" title="Star Hunt girls glow in cyber-chic looks | Star Magical Prom 2026" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Sometimes, we like it when it rains—especially when it&#x27;s this stylish. &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pbbgen112024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>PBB Gen 11</em></u></strong></a>&quot; alum Rain Celmar brought her own forecast of sparkle in a silver dress, probably inspired by a disco ball. Silver was also the color of the night for Krystl Ball, while Kaitlyn Sturm, Bianca Lamberte, and Steph Ilagan turned up the edge with midriff-baring creations. </p><p>Leading the pack of the Star Hunt Boys was Andrez Del Rosario in a white tuxedo with crystal-trimmed lapels, a metallic bow tie, and a shimmering belt. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O1TAaSd5s8U" title="Star Hunt Boys put a futuristic spin on gentleman&#x27;s fashion | Star Magical Prom 2026" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div> </div><p>Also part of the guest list were Josh Worsley, who went for a cyber-warrior visual, Beaver Magtalas in a black-and-white sartorial statement, and Marc Nanninga in a structured outerwear fit for a sci-fi hero. The Star Hunt Boys&#x27; fashion rollout continued with Lance Delos Santos, Peyton Garcia, Calvin Bugarin, Zeek Culanag, Drei Sugay, and Julian Garcia. </p><p>Among the Star Hunt Teens, Talia Concio stood out by bringing a youthful-punk spin on the night&#x27;s theme, pairing tartan prints with leather, fishnet textures, and a plush accessory—it&#x27;s giving fashion rebel character in a video game.  </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5Gbd13QnVNg" title="Star Hunt Teens bring cosmic couture to the Infinity Runway | Star Magical Prom 2026" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Completing the Star Hunt lineup were Marla del Rosario, Alex Khunkhwamdee, Xena Demski, Porscha Miran, Leisah Baconga, Hershey David, Pica Mabitag, Jade Rojas, and Dara Rubin, who transformed the Infinity Runway into their own futuristic playground. Mixing techwear, Y2K elements, statement accessories, and fearless styling, the young talents showed that they’re already dressed for the future. </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Fresh Faces Detected!  </strong></div><p>The Star Magic Neo-Comers officially entered the system. Rhianna Santiago and Nathan Garcia made their Infinity Runway debut, followed by the charming Crosby siblings—Ocean, Christian, and Christina. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-Wfj2jPABbo" title="Newest stars in the galaxy: The Neo Comers walk the Infinity Runway | Star Magical Prom 2026" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Also making memorable first impressions were beauty queen Sherenia Valiero, who served space-age fairytale elegance in a structured white gown, and &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/1/19/christian-and-arvery-soar-to-victory-as-tnt-duets-2-grand-champions-0915" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Tawag ng Tanghalan Duets</u></strong></a>&quot; champion Arvery Love, whose silver styling sparkled like a constellation against the neon-lit pathway.  </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Kilig Signal: Strong </strong></div><p>The night&#x27;s sweetest moments belonged to the young who reminded us that chemistry will always be timeless. Lella Ford and Joaquin Arce a.k.a. LelQuin looked like they had just stepped out of a galactic fairytale!  </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y0FyTMIIWB0" title="These Cosmic Couples bring galaxy-sized kilig | Star Magical Prom 2026" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Lella&#x27;s silver-gray, off-shoulder gown with a textured bodice and orbit-like wire details that wrapped around her arms is giving cyber-doll from another universe. Plus, the unexpected platinum pixie cut made the whole vibe even more &#x27;high-voltage.&#x27; Her date, Joaquin, kept it trendy in a gray wrap-style suit with a belted waist.  </p><p>Joining them in that stellar evening were fellow &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab-v2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>PBB Collab 2.0</em></u></strong></a>&quot; pair LizGuel, made up of Eliza Borromeo and Miguel Vergara. Eliza glowed in an ivory dress that fused feather-inspired textures, with sculptural draping that reminds us of the clouds. Beside her, Miguel balanced classic tailoring with futuristic edge in a midnight blue shirt layered with a long overcoat.  </p><p>Among the evening&#x27;s crowd-pleasers had to be JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith. JM was chrome-clad in an all-black ‘fit, while Fyang served astral goddess in a molten silver evening gown that shimmered with her every move. The JMFyang tandem truly dressed like cosmic royalty! </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oUAglh_JfoM" title="Alexa, JMFyang, and more: The Stellar Squad enters the Infinity Runway | Star Magical Prom 2026" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Keeping things coordinated, Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin a.k.a. FranSeth proved that the future looks even better in sync, with Seth&#x27;s cape complementing Francine&#x27;s liquid-black dress. </p><p>The DustBi ship sailed on the Infinity Runway. Former &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>PBB Collab</em></u></strong></a>&quot; housemate Bianca De Vera brought her ‘duo’ Dustin Yu as her date. The two were so color-coded and couple-coded. Rusted tones have never looked this dreamy—and hot. </p><p>Also turning heads were former &quot;PBB Collab 2.0&quot; housemate Carmelle Collado, singing trio DNA, Esang De Torres, Yce Navarro, and Bong Gonzales. </p><p>And who better to close the Infinity Runway than the Gen Z Total Performer and last season&#x27;s Prom Queen, Alexa Ilacad? The “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/6/2/alexa-ilacad-portrays-her-boldest-role-in-iwant-s-new-original-miss-behave-2038" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Miss Behave</u></strong></a>” actress served pure star-core energy in a crystal-drenched illusion gown with shimmering fringe. </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Mahik-AI has entered the chat </strong></div><p>As the Infinity Runway went offline, hosts Emilio Daez and Jas Dudley-Scales logged into the main event. Carmelle, Esang, and Kolette set the tone with a song number before Star Magic Head Laurenti Dyogi welcomed the crowd with a short message. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UENiqBypOO4" title="Carmelle, Esang, and Kolette open the event with celestial vocals | Star Magical Prom 2026" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Diving up to the night&#x27;s theme, Star Magical Prom welcomed its own artificial intelligence friend named Mahik-AI—pronounced like mahika—to give artists a magical forecast of their careers.  </p><p>Safe to say, the guests had fun peeking into one another&#x27;s AI-generated future. Mahik-AI&#x27;s prediction for FranSeth revealed that international projects await, but they&#x27;re still each other&#x27;s endgame.  </p><p>River Joseph and Ralph were in stitches as Mahik-AI imagined them as award-winning athletes flexing their abs. The AI also did its job well by pairing them in an action series titled &quot;Double Agent R,&quot; which, should it come true, we&#x27;d definitely stream in a heartbeat.  </p><p>Mahik-AI uploaded Bianca&#x27;s profile, which came with plenty of international red-carpet moments and a callback to her childhood dream of becoming a chef. She joked, though, that it missed her not-so-secret ambition of becoming a pop star. Well, maybe Mahik-AI needs a software update.  </p><p>The AI went all out for DNA, too, showing the singing trio performing at the Super Bowl and making stylish stops at Fashion Weeks across the globe. Carmelle received superstar treatment from Mahik-AI as well. Her future looked just as dazzling, from headlining sold-out concerts to conquering the world&#x27;s biggest red carpets and earning international recognition. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Stellar Awards Initiated </strong></div><p>As the young artists and special guests enjoyed the futuristic fantasy, fans also looked forward to the evening&#x27;s Stellar Awards. Online votes hailed &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab-v2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>PBB Collab 2.0</em></u></strong></a>&quot; alums Fred and Krystal as the evening&#x27;s Prom Prince and Princess  </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bOBFEngjq3M" title="Fred Moser and Krystal Mejes take the crown as PRINCE &amp; PRINCESS | Star Magical Prom 2026" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Meanwhile, the METRO Best Dressed Award recognized the celebrities who looked runway-ready from head to toe. Taking home the coveted title for the gentlemen was River, who served a refreshing take on the theme in a crisp white suit accented with silver detailing. </p><div> </div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1G57mENj460" title="Reign Parani and River Joseph rule the glam galaxy as METRO Best Dressed | Star Magical Prom 2026" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div> </div><p>On the ladies&#x27; side, beauty queen-actress Reign Parani claimed the METRO Best Dressed title in a dazzling crystal-encrusted gown, with dramatic metallic shoulder accents that resembled celestial wings. Equal parts elegance and sci-fi glamour! </p><p>Of course, what&#x27;s a prom without crowning its King and Queen? Alexa, last season&#x27;s Prom Queen (and whose initials, AI, couldn&#x27;t have been more on theme for the night), was tasked with passing on the crown. Before welcoming the next batch of royalty, Alexa shared a reminder with the younger artists not to confuse validation with value. In a world filled with noise—especially on social media—she encouraged them to stay authentic.  </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DJFwf6thO94" title="JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith end the stellar night as Prom King and Queen | Star Magical Prom 2026" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div> </div><p>Moments later, the crowd erupted in cheers as JMFYang was officially crowned Star Magical Prom 2026&#x27;s Prom King and Queen after garnering the highest number of online votes. </p><p>The fan-favorite tandem then shared a sweet victory dance, giving supporters one last kilig-filled moment to cap off the magical evening. </p><p>Re-watch the Star Magical Prom 2026 on the Star Magic YouTube channel and <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>iWant</u></strong></a>. </p><div> </div><div><strong>More on this story: </strong></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/6/26/downloading-more-kilig-here-s-access-to-your-fave-loveteams-star-magical-prom-2026-photos-2317" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Downloading more kilig: Here’s access to your fave loveteams’ Star Magical Prom 2026 photos</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/6/27/memory-files-photos-of-the-pbb-collab-ex-housemates-from-the-futuristic-star-magical-prom-2026-0011" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Memory Files: Photos of the “PBB Collab” ex-housemates from the futuristic Star Magical Prom 2026</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/6/27/version-2-0-former-child-stars-enter-a-new-era-at-star-magical-prom-2026-in-photos-0040" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Version 2.0: Former child stars enter a new era at Star Magical Prom 2026—in photos</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/6/26/written-in-the-stars-jmfyang-seals-the-evening-as-prom-king-and-queen-of-star-magical-prom-2026-2139" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Written in the stars: JMFyang seals the evening as PROM KING AND QUEEN of Star Magical Prom 2026</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/6/26/status-iconic-reign-and-river-are-the-metro-best-dressed-at-star-magical-prom-2026-2123" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Status: ICONIC!
