• Celebrities that were once under slander because of fashion related issues.
• These outfits that had controversies in the past.

Celebrities are often watched out for their skills and projects, but one of the most important things that they should also prioritize is their fashion sense. As individuals being closely watched or even scrutinized by the public eye.

It is unavoidable that these stars are criticized on their fashion choices especially in the age of social media.

Here are some of the most talked about and most controversial clothing pieces that celebrities wore at some point of their careers:

1. Devon Seron

Devon Seron wore a red plaid polo and skirt in a promotional mall show for her film Walwal. She did not escape the criticisms as a Netizen criticized her outfit was a ‘fashion disaster’.

Devon reacted and said that the most important thing is how one sees herself or himself. She also added that she was sick that day but she felt pretty amazing wearing the said outfit.

2. Vicki Belo

Netizens zoomed-im on Vicki Belo‘s dress at her daughter, Cristalle Belo’s wedding in Italy. Comments repeatedly described her dress as something that’s similar to a bed sheet.

3. Kim Chiu

Actress Kim Chiu and designer John Herrera once had a miscommunication because of a gown that was supposed to be worn by the actress at the 66th FAMAS awards night.

According to reports, the designer made a Php100,000 gown for her to wear for the special occasion but the arrangements didn’t push through. Herrera expressed his disappointment and stated that his team couldn’t even enter the village where Kim Chiu lives resulting in her not being able to fit the gown.

The problem died down when both sides tweeted saying that they want to ‘move forward’ and leave the issue behind.

4. Maggie Wilson

Miss World Philippines Maggie Wilson got into an argument with a Netizen regarding her OOTD during a trip in Jordan. The Netizen asked if her outfit was appropriate considering that Jordan is a Muslim-dominated country.

Maggie defended her outfit saying that even if 85% of the population there is Muslim, no one actually cares what one wears. She also added that she respects the people, culture, and rules in every place she visits.

5. Billy Crawford and Coleen Garcia

Netizens and artists alike poked fun at Billy Crawford and Coleen Garcia‘s Ethiopian inspired pre-wedding photo shoot for a magazine. Its pattern resembled various things like pillows and bags of ordinary people.

The couple was also criticized as many thought that their outfits in the said photoshoot were culturally inappropriate.

6. Solenn Heussaff

Solenn Heussaff didn’t stop herself from answering a basher, who scrutinized her choice of outfit while trying to get a good tan under the sun.

7. Senator Nancy Binay

Senator Nancy Binay‘s outfit at the 2014 State of the Nation Address generated a large number of viral memes. Netizens posted their own take on Binay’s dress. Some of the most popular posts compared it to a hot air balloon, to a Datu Puti vinegar packaging, and to Shriek’s wife, Fiona.

8. Maria Isabel Lopez

Many criticized actress Maria Isabel Lopez back during the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. She was accused of being a ‘scene-stealer’ as she got more attention in the red carpet compared to the film director Brillante Mendoza and lead star Jaclyn Jose, because of her bright colored and eye-grabbing emerald green gown. She, later on, apologized to the director and her co-stars, explaining that she did not intend to steal the spotlight away from them.

She was wearing a gown that was designed by Albert Andrada.

9. MJ Lastimosa

Miss Universe Philippines Mary Jean Lastimosa‘s national costume at the 2014 Miss Universe was heavily criticized. It drew flack from the netizens as they stated that it looked cheaply made and was compared to a birthday cake from Goldilocks.

10. Maine Mendoza

The most controversial of all is probably the issue of Maine Mendoza‘s Tamang Panahon gown that resulted in a lawsuit filed by stylist Liz Uy to fashion blogger Michael Sy Lim.

The issue started when people pointed out that Maine’s gown was the same gown as Kim Chiu wore at the 2013 Francis Libiran Metrowear Icon Fashion Show. In an official statement by the designer Francis Libiran, he stated that “We are so glad, honored, and grateful that Maine Mendoza and her official stylists, Stylized Studio, Inc., chose a beautiful Francis Libiran dress from our Spring/Summer 2015. Maine Mendoza’s gown at Eat Bulaga’s Tamang Panahon concert for a cause was bought and paid for by Eat Bulaga Production.”

In Liz Uy’s 24-page complaint submitted to the court, she cited Lim’s tweets and blog post regarding his entries at the website Fashion Police, criticizing her for making the artist wear a “recycled” gown and a “hand-me-down” Gucci jacket at one of Maine’s magazine photoshoots.

Liz Uy filed cases of online libel and grave slander against Michael Sy Lim.

Simplicity is beauty. And a woman’s true beauty is revealed when her face is bare. In a world where image is everything, people tend to forget that natural beauty is best. With the advanced make-up technology, anyone can look like a celebrity, but do celebrities even look like themselves on TV or print even without make-up on?

In Hollywood, there have been many photos of celebrities showing how un-celebrity they look like when their faces are washed up. Some people even say they look worse than ordinary people, and that they are only products of make-up illusion. But how about our local celebrities?

We have made a compilation of the Philippines’ most beautiful women, collected their photos without make-up on and we’d like you to see for yourself if they are beautiful at their simplest.

Here is our version of the Philippines’ most beautiful celebrities, dolled up and bare-faced:

Angel Locsin

Bea Alonzo

Iya Villiania

Janine Gutierrez

Lovi Poe

Kris Bernal

MANILA, Philippines- After the controversial evening gown and national costume of Mary Jean Lastimosa made headlines, Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BCPI) chairperson Stella Araneta said she is open to collaborate with Pinoy designers.

Earlier, netizens lambasted Araneta on social media for opting to make Pinay beauty queens wear designs of Alfredo Barazza, a fashion designer from Colombia. According to netizens, the “unflattering” and “uninspired” gowns of Lastimosa hindered her from making it to the Top 5 of the 63rd Miss Universe Pageant. Lastimosa only qualified up to the Top 10 of the prestigious beauty competition.

In BCPI’s statement posted in its official Facebook page, Araneta is encouraging Filipino designers to collaborate with BCPI. Araneta, who believes in Filipino genius, is willing to work with Pinoy designers who can come up with the best designs that will showcase the beauty of Binibini queens in international competitions.

BCPI also stressed in its statement that Pinay beauty queens wear FIlipino-made creations during pictorials, fashion shows, and national costume contests.

Renowned Filipino talents such as Rajo Laurel, Ino Sotto, and Randy Ortiz earlier showed sketches of gowns they intended to make Pinay beauty queens wear for the beauty pageant.

Laurel, who earlier made a gown inspired by the Pintados tribe stated: “ I just think that perhaps she should open up her mind to this generation of talented designers.”

Lastimosa, who arrived in the Philippines last Thursday, appealed to Filipino fans not to blame her gown for the outcome of the pageant.

Pinay Beauty Mary Jean “MJ” Lastimosa did not make it to the top 5.

Lastimosa represents the Philippines at the 63rd Miss Universe pageant.

Lastimosa was hoping to surpass the successes of her last four predecessors in Miss Universe – Venus Raj, Shamcey Supsup, Janine Tugonon and Ariella Arida – who all finished in the international pageant’s Top 5.

Much-awaited question and answer portion comes next. Who do you think will be the next lucky lady who will wear the new DIC crown and get the title “Miss Universe 2014”?

1. Miss USA Nia Sanchez
