MANILA — The sights in the State of the Nation Address has changed throughout the years.

Traditionally, it is just centered on the President’s summary report of the administration’s performance but with the public being obsessed with the picture-perfect mentality, the red carpet gradually became another priority for the press.

A few hours after the first regular session of the 18th Congress, the legislators, who are mostly with their escorts, took the time to dress for the important occasion. They are in a hurry to change into another outfit, strut for the cameras as they made an entrance to the big event.

Imee Marcos

Neophyte senator Imee Marcos dressed in a stunning yellow gown with a hint of red blush at the bottom. During a media interview, she said she sported the color yellow, which has been the trademark color of their family’s long-time political rival because she is “tired of rivalries that have been passed to generations”.

Audrey Tan-Zubiri

Though she and her husband Senator Miguel Zubiri moved quickly through the phalanx of photographers, Audrey proved she can be photogenic even in a fast-paced motion. The senator’s wife picked an Ito Curata magnetic turquoise top and paired it with her favorite Kalachuchi earrings.

Aiko Melendez walked in all her glory (reminiscent of her portrayed character in the hit TV series Wildflower) but this time with her real-life partner Zambales Vice Governor Jay Khonghun. White and genuine smile definitely looks good on the actress.

Loren Legarda

First into the list is former Senator and now Antique Representative Loren Legarda, who in her defense has always taken every public event seriously by making sure she looks dashing in all angles.

This afternoon, she wore a violet patadyong woven by the women in Antique partnered with stylish embroidered pants that created a simple yet elegant vibe in her.
