MANILA, Philippines —  Popular designer Francis Libiran posted a throwback photo of Belle Mariano in his creations 16 years apart, referring to it as the actress' coming to full circle in his designs. 

Libiran posted a photo of a young Belle as a flower girl wearing his creation. 

"A delightful trip down memory lane! We've unearthed a charming photo of a young @belle_mariano as a flower girl back in 2007, wearing a Francis Libiran gown," the designer wrote. 

The succeeding photos see Belle a much grown-up muse wearing some of his fabulous designs.

One photo shows the actress in a pastel pink gown with streaks of light blue and lavender that reminds the viewer of a thousand petals strewn together, creating the illusion of one giant flower. Another one is a pleated, off-shoulder pastel gown accentuated with an oversized, feathered hat, while another creation is a gown with black and white feathered skirt. 

The latter she wore at the recently concluded, first-ever Star Magical Prom with perennial date, on-screen partner Donny Pangilinan. 

Donny and Belle were named the night's Prom King and Prom Queen. 

"The journey has come full circle as she blossoms into a stunning muse for our latest creations. A beautiful testament to timeless elegance and the magic of destiny," Libiran said.
