LOOK: Celebrities who took the Star Magical Christmas 2025 theme literally on the red carpet
Kapamilya stars slipped into their Christmas looks for the 2025 Star Magical Christmas event at Okada Manila yesterday, Nov. 23.
Held annually, the Star Magical Christmas event has different beneficiaries. This year, children at the Philippine General Hospital's pediatric unit and White Cross orphanage would receive toys donated by each attendee at the glittery event.
Free to interpret the night's theme "Sleigh the Night," celebrities came in their Christmas best. Some slayed in their sophisticated formal wear, while others opted for a more literal take on the theme and arrived in outfits that were both memorable and eye-catching.
Here are some of the most striking Star Magical Christmas 2025 looks.
Maymay Entrata
Actress and singer Maymay Entrata took the ubiquitous Christmas bow, enlarged it, and tied it around her hips, turning her black, halter-top gown into one huge, glamorous present. Her black-and-white ensemble, shot here on her way to the event, contrasted beautifully against the night's red backdrop and decor.
The Amakabogera singer, who is set to release her new single in the first quarter of 2026, stars as Luna in the new action series Roja.
Esnyr
Social media personality Esnyr took the theme to heart and arrived in a gold-and-red outfit that showed off major Christmas vibes. A long red scarf that trailed on the floor completed the look.
For all his effort, Esnyr (whose legal name is Esnyr Ranollo) was awarded Shein's "Sleighable Look of the Night," presented by actress Belle Mariano.
Maris Racal
Actress Maris Racal's black strapless gown with arm-length sheer black gloves has the perfect detail: a layered, ombré thigh-high slit in shades of green, matching her pine green pumps.
Racal plays Gab Rivera in the ongoing Netflix action series Incognito. She previously made rounds in the media for her role in the acclaimed film Sunshine, where she delivered a nuanced performance as a competitive gymnast who discovers she is pregnant during national team tryouts.
Nyoy and Mikkie Volante
Singer Nyoy Volante came with his wife Mikkie, both fresh from playing The Baker and The Baker's Wife, respectively, in the recently concluded production of Into the Woods.
It seemed they were still imbibing their stage characters when they showed up to the event in matching red outfits—Mikkie in an off-shoulder checkered gown with a corset and a crinoline skirt, and Nyoy in a coordinating long red coat and scarf.
Anthony Jennings
Exuding a white Christmas aura, actor Anthony Jennings walked the red carpet solo in an all-white suit with a floor-length faux fur coat. For his donation to the event's cause, he brought along a basketball, which he tossed into the box of toys for children.
Jennings stars as Tomas in the Netflix action series Incognito. He previously played Snoop in the rom-com series Can't Buy Me Love.
Jarren Garcia
Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11 alum Jarren Garcia played up his otherwise strait-laced suit with a printed furry cape slung over one shoulder.
A British crooner with over a million followers on Instagram, Garcia is also a songwriter who is currently pursuing a music career in the Philippines.
