<p>Today marks <strong>President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s</strong> second <strong>State of the Nation Address (SONA)</strong>. While key economic and political issues have been discussed, the SONA is also known as an avenue for our beloved national dress to take the spotlight again. Politicians and our favorite style girls attended the event with various recreations of the ‘<a href="https://metro.style/fashion/get-the-look/ready-to-wear-terno-tops-and-dresses/35718" target="_blank">terno</a>’, ‘<em>baro’t saya</em>’, and more. This season is one of the best it has ever been!</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/9db8711f-6705-46a0-a52b-695545f5aa21_snapinsta.app_363064834_18384370501040002_4214520350725882606_n_1080.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Heart Evangelista in Ivarluski Aseron</span></span></span></div><p>Filipino designers surely respected the traditional codes of our national dress while making sure to modernize the looks. <a href="https://metro.style/fashion/metrostylewatch/heart-evangelista-paris-haute-couture-week-2023/35888" target="_blank">Heart Evangelista</a><strong> </strong>wore an<strong> Ivarluski Aseron</strong> creation, where the humble bayong weaves were mimicked on the butterfly sleeves. </p><div><br/></div><p><a href="https://metro.style/search?q=michael%20leyva" target="_blank">Michael Leyva</a>, a favorite among our women politicians, made around 100 looks for the event with the likes of <strong>Senator Nancy Binay</strong>, <strong>Attorney Emmeline Aglipay-Villa</strong><strong>r</strong>, and <strong>Senator Grace Poe</strong>.
