MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya actress Shaina Magdayao was a stunning revelation in red at the 2023 Busan International Film Festival.
Magdayao's latest film "Essential Truths of the Lake" directed by Lav Diaz was part of the festival's Icons program alongside 2023 Cannes Film Festival winners "Anatomy of a Fall" and "The Pot-au-Feu," 2023 Venice Film Festival winners "Poor Things" and "Evil Does Not Exist," and David Fincher's "The Killer."
On the red carpet at Busan, Magdayao wore a custom Marsala red long sleeve serpentine gown designed by Ehrran Montoya.
In an Instagram post, Montoya described the fully beaded dress — with its unique deep neckline, captivating texturized crystals, and thigh-high slit — "highlights [Magdayo's] beauty with elegance and sophistication, embellished with dangling beads adding a touch of allure, perfectly complementing her character."
