Designers really appreciate it when you have your own opinions and suggestions towards the things that you wear,&quot; he said. </p><p>&quot;We might not have the height -- some people do have it -- but it doesn&#x27;t mean that if you&#x27;re small, you have to look small,&quot; he added. </p><p>When asked whose closet he&#x27;d like to raid, Dee replied: &quot;Timothée Chalamet&#x27;s. I think he&#x27;s one of those actors who are not afraid to try on different looks. Then you realize he&#x27;s not the tallest actor, he&#x27;s not a buff or muscular actor, but he knows how to carry the clothes that he gets to wear.&quot;</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOIOFMPk4kF/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A925988.1000000238%2C%22ls%22%3A925642.5%2C%22le%22%3A925964.6000000238%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Salvador, on the other hand, was initially in disbelief when she found out she made it to Preview&#x27;s best dressed list. &quot;Anong nakita sa akin ng Preview to message me na isa nga talaga ako sa mga best dressed?&quot; she recalled in an interview with the magazine.</p><p>She went on to realize why -- it&#x27;s because her authenticity shone through her outfits. &quot;Ang ibig sabihin na lang sa akin niyan is, nakita niyo ako nang totoo. Naging totoo lang ako sa sarili ko, na hindi ko kailangan maging artista always,&quot; she said. </p><p>As to what will always be part of her look, the actress said: &quot;Statement shoes. I&#x27;m a shoe addict. Alam &#x27;yan ng lahat ng friends, family, and supporters ko.&quot; </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOIWmRek__O/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A945747.6000000238%2C%22ls%22%3A925642.5%2C%22le%22%3A925964.6000000238%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Manalo, for his part, sees the recognition as a validation of his wardrobe choices, which he considers &quot;innate.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I think when it comes to fashion, I don&#x27;t have to try so hard. So to be considered as best dressed is validation that I&#x27;m not the only one who sees it,&quot; he said. </p><p>The actor, who considers fashion as his &quot;armor,&quot; said he continues to explore what works for him style-wise: &quot;Most people think that if you&#x27;re an introvert, they can push you to the side... but the way I dress is a reminder that I&#x27;m not one to back down. I don&#x27;t have the strongest personality, but my style speaks for itself.&quot; </p><p>Asked about the Filipino brand or designer that excites him at the moment, Manalo said: &quot;Viktor... it&#x27;s the first brand I&#x27;ve worn since I&#x27;ve been out [of the Pinoy Big Brother house]. They have new and really nice stuff. The cuts, the way the use fabrics.&quot; </p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOIHM0rE5f-/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A962460.1999999881%2C%22ls%22%3A925642.5%2C%22le%22%3A925964.6000000238%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>
