Before things got busier that day, the <strong><em>My Love Will Make You Disappear</em></strong> leading lady chatted with us about her look for the highly anticipated event. </p><p>As it was the first time the ABS-CBN Ball had a spring formal theme and dress code, Kim said she and her glam team considered going for colors and a garden-inspired look. But in the end, since it&#x27;s a ball, they decided on a classic glamorous look with a touch of floral. &quot;My stylist, <strong>Adrianne Concepcion</strong>, and I, <em>nag-usap kami na parang</em> elegant <em>pa rin pero </em>at the same time <em>andu&#x27;n pa rin &#x27;yung </em>spring, so touch <em>lang ng </em>spring<em> &#x27;yung in</em>-apply <em>namin sa</em> gown.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1743997369615488675536_18505839688042821_6135515877072538285_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @chinitaprincess</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p><strong>Francis Libiran</strong> created Kim&#x27;s gown. The designer sent the piece to Kim with a note that read: &quot;This gold metallic gown was designed to reflect your boldness and radiance. The shimmering fabric, with its deep V-neckline, halter cut, and dramatic side cut-outs, was made to celebrate confidence and sophistication. The high slit and fitted silhouette enhance your striking presence, ensuring that every moment captures the light.&quot; Her stylist accessorized her look with jewelry from <strong>Oro China</strong> and heels by <strong>Rene Caovilla</strong>.</p><p>Describing the stunning outfit, Kim chose the adjectives sophisticated, elegant, and skin. No doubt one of the best-dressed ladies of the night, Kim looked gorgeous from head to toe, with her bold yet tasteful makeup by <strong>Mariah Santos</strong> and sleek hair by <strong>RJ dela Cruz</strong>. &quot;It&#x27;s a rare moment that they see me wearing a red lipstick, so this is something different for me,&quot; Kim noted.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1743997801587488215934_18505839568042821_6538295453740372237_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @chinitaprincess</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>We asked: What summer destination best encapsulates her look? &quot;It&#x27;s Jordan. <em>Kasi parang &#x27;yun &#x27;yung nasa</em> feed <em>ko ngayon e</em>, &#x27;<em>yung parang</em> stones <em>ng</em> Jordan, &#x27;<em>yung</em> view <em>ng</em> Jordan, <em>&#x27;yung mga</em> roses <em>ng</em> Jordan. <em>Parang ganun &#x27;yung</em> vibe <em>niya</em>,&quot; she replied animatedly.</p><p>Spring is about florals, too, so we were curious about her favorite flower and delighted to know it&#x27;s peoony, which is known to symbolize love, happiness, and good fortune. </p><p>Since Kim has always been known for championing a healthy and active lifestyle, she said she just limited her sweet and carb intake to get ready for the ABS-CBN Ball and showcase her side-baring outfit better. &quot;<em>Kasi &#x27;pag kumakain ka ng</em> sweets, <em>napupunta siya sa</em> love handles, so<em> hindi muna ako nag</em>-sweets for one week, two weeks,&quot; she told us, later saying that she&#x27;d want to eat <em>halo-halo</em> after the event.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1743998446006WhatsApp Image 2025-04-04 at 8.54.36 PM.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Kim Chiu walked the red carpet alongside her <em>My Love Will Make You Disappear</em> co-star Paulo Avelino | Photo by Ryan Ong</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>&quot;I just want to enjoy the red carpet moment and the photos here and there,&quot; she quipped. &quot;<em>Kasi</em> this is like a celebration of all the stars of ABS-CBN.&quot;</p><p>Joining Kim on the red carpet was her <em>My Love Will Make You Disappear </em>leading man, Paulo Avelino, marking the first time they attended the prestigious event together.
