ABS-CBN’s Star Magic artists dazzled in their holiday best as they graced the white carpet at the Star Magical Christmas 2024 event on Sunday, November 24.
Departing from the traditional elegance of the ABS-CBN Ball, the festive evening embraced a whimsical theme, allowing celebrities to showcase creative looks that embodied the Christmas spirit.
Among the scene-stealers was The Nation’s Girl Group BINI, who wowed the audience with their witty Noche Buena-inspired outfits.
The group also earned the prestigious titles of Star Magic, Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Artist of the Year.
Singer Angeline Quinto turned heads with her stunning transformation into Songbird Supreme Mariah Carey.
The singer-actress was also honored as the Life of the Party.
Fans and users took to X to share their reactions to the event:
“Kuhang-kuha ni Ms. Angeline si Mariah Carey,” an X user wrote.
“YES MOTHER ANGELINE QUINTO! SLAY! As Mariah Carey yan [siya], LEZGOW CAMPY QUEEN!!!” another commented.
I was trying to figure out who ! Talaga! It’s The Angeline Quinto in her Mariah Carey fit
