Known and loved by many as an actress, news anchor, TV host, and Drage Race Philippines resident judge–indeed many people can’t help but admire KaladKaren. On the recently held ABS-CBN Ball, KaladKaren once again inspired and admired by many as she graced the night in her sweet and captivating look wearing a Francis Libiran rosy pink asymmetric ensemble blending in with her hair done by Enrico Gabato and her flawless make-up perfected by Emman Concepcion, styled by Briñas Rodel. KaladKaren’s chic look was finished off with the glitz and brilliance of diamond jewelry pieces of LVNA.
Inspiring many and representing the whole community as she was explaining the rainbow accent on her popcorn bag, KaladKaren said that she wanted to bring the community to the ABS-CBN Ball, “Syempre may rainbow because I want to bring the community to the ABS-CBN Ball.” Not only she did prepare and dress to nine to become beautiful and fashionable but she also arrived and attended the ball with a wonderful story and inspiration.
She said that as a transgender woman, she never experienced having a debut celebration when she was 18, “but 13 years later, I am truly blessed by your Lord to debut many firsts in the industry, and tonight sa pagbabalik ng ABS-CBN Ball, hindi lang ako debutante, para na ring bridesmaid, kasi next year, ikakasal na ako. And I can consider this as another debut to more beautiful days ahead forever not only for myself but also for the love of my life.”
