  • Fashion Trailblazers who Stole the Spotlight on the 2025 Golden Globes Red Carpet 

    Fashion Trailblazers who Stole the Spotlight on the 2025 Golden Globes Red Carpet 

    The 2025 Golden Globes red carpet was everything we hoped it would be and more. From debuting daring hairdos to serving old Hollywood glam, the red carpet made sure our jaws stayed glued to the floor. Whether you were team sparkles or dramatic silhouettes, the first event of 2025’s awards season did not disappoint.

    Golden Globes The cast and crew of Emilia Perez

    The cast and crew of Emilia Perez, which won four Golden Globe awards: Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy; Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language; Best Original Song – Motion Picture for “El Mal”; and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture for Zoe Saldaña

    Here are just some of the standout moments we’re obsessing over: 

    Zendaya owns the night (again) 

    It’s official — Zendaya is in a league of her own. Styled by the legendary Law Roach, Zendaya graced the carpet in a monochromatic orange custom Louis Vuitton ensemble that left no detail unchecked. From the gown to the heels and even her rusty-hued locks, she was a literal goddess. Iconic. Thank you, Z, for delivering yet again.

    Golden Globes Miley Cyrus 01

    Image source: Golden Globes (Instagram)

    Miley Cyrus turns cool-girl chic into an art form 

    Fresh off her first Grammy win last year, Miley Cyrus knows a thing or two about making moves — on the stage and the red carpet. She showed up in a shimmering Celine gown with bold cut-outs, a ’00s updo (complete with chunky highlights), and topped it off with the ultimate power move: sunglasses. Take notes, people: that’s how you do effortlessly cool. 

    Cynthia Erivo defies gravity with drama 

    Cynthia Erivo’s structured peplum commanded everyone’s attention.  With a deep v-neckline and silver embellishments, the Louis Vuitton ensemble exuded drama and confidence, perfectly complementing her jaw-dropping performance in Wicked.

    Cate Blanchett’s golden comeback

    Cate Blanchett joined Viola Davis in proving that red carpet magic can happen twice in the same dress. Blanchett returned to the Golden Globes in a gold Louis Vuitton gown that had already made waves at Cannes less than a year ago. Its cape-style bodice, metallic shoulder detailing, sleek column skirt, and dramatic train were pure elegance. She paired the show-stopping gown with minimal accessories and a sharp side-parted blonde bob.

    Viola Davis re-wears Gucci like royalty 

    Viola Davis understood the assignment and flipped the sustainability script. When Gucci creates a masterpiece, why not wear it more than once? The 2025 Cecil B. DeMille Award honoree brought back her stunning black sequined dress from the 2024 LACMA Gala, this time wearing it with a rainbow cape. Bravo to Davis and her stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, for making rewearing just as fabulous as a red carpet debut. 

    Elle Fanning perfects print play 

    Need proof that fashion risks pay off? Look no further than Elle Fanning. Her leopard-print Balmain gown featuring a corseted champagne waist and sequined bust might sound chaotic on paper, but on her? Pure harmony. She paired it with gold Cartier for that extra oomph, reminding us why she’s the queen of combining elegance with edge. 

    Golden Globes Emma Stone 01

    Emma Stone’s new pixie cut 

    Emma Stone unveiled a brand-new pixie cut that wowed fans on the red carpet. Rumored to be for her upcoming film, Bugonia, the haircut was paired with a radiant red Louis Vuitton gown that served straight-up Hollywood sophistication. If her new look is any indication, 2025 is the year of Emma making serious moves. 

    Angelina Jolie sparkles alongside her daughter

    Angelina Jolie knows how to make a statement, and the stunning diva made an unforgettable entrance in a bedazzled long-sleeved dress with sheer panels and streaks of black and silver sequins. Jolie wasn’t alone — walking beside her was her daughter, Zahara Jolie, rocking a custom white Alexander McQueen dress adorned with a sequined cherry tree-inspired pattern. 

    Ariana Grande goes full Audrey Hepburn 

    Speaking of hair revamps, Ariana Grande ditched her platinum locks for a more honey-brown ‘do. The talented star arrived in a 1966 yellow haute couture Givenchy gown, paired with white gloves, and Swarovski crystal accents, she was serving “Good Witch”, but make it fashion.

    Timothée Chalamet saves the men’s fashion scene (Again) 

    Timothée Chalamet didn’t just suit up last night. Still paying homage to Bob Dylan, he paired a simple black suit with a delightfully quirky polka-dot skinny scarf, he gave us just enough edge to keep things interesting.

    Hollywood’s biggest nights, streaming exclusively on Lionsgate Play 

    This year, Lionsgate Play brought the glitz and glamour of the Golden Globes directly to fans in the Philippines with an exclusive live stream of the star-studded event. Missed the live show?

  • Meet the Lovell Family Trapped in Blumhouse’s Latest Nightmare “Wolf Man”

    Meet the Lovell Family Trapped in Blumhouse’s Latest Nightmare “Wolf Man”

    Blumhouse and visionary director Leigh Whannell are back with another spine-chilling tale, Wolf Man. Known for redefining horror through The Invisible Man, Whannell brings a deeply emotional and terrifying story that explores the horrors of family, grief, and primal instincts.

    The Plot Unfolds

    Wolf Man follows Blake Lovell, a struggling father and husband, portrayed by Christopher Abbott (Poor Things). Blake inherits his father’s remote farm in rural Oregon and persuades his wife, Charlotte (played by Emmy-winner Julia Garner, Ozark), and their 8-year-old daughter, Ginger (Matilda Firth), to visit. What begins as a journey to reconnect as a family soon turns into a fight for survival.

    Upon arriving at the farm, the Lovell family is attacked by a mysterious creature lurking in the darkness. As they seek refuge in the farmhouse, secrets from Blake’s past surface, unraveling not just their sanity but Blake himself—both physically and mentally.

    Bringing the Horror to Life

    FEATURE 2

    Christopher Abbott as Blake Lovell

    Director Leigh Whannell credits Abbott’s authentic acting style for bringing Blake’s tortured transformation to life. “Chris is unable to be inauthentic,” Whannell says. “He doesn’t hit a false note. He’s not a showy actor, and he’s allergic to performative acting or reaching. He just wants to bring it into a living, breathing zone, and it’s a magic trick to watch.”

    Abbott leaned into the role by drawing parallels between Blake’s transformation and real-life illnesses like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. “Leigh and I talked a lot about illnesses from Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s,” Abbott says. “In terms of the transformation, it was letting go of the reality of what it is to be a healthy human and stripping that away.” 

    Garner Abbott Firth

    Julia Garner as Charlotte Lovell

    Garner’s portrayal of Charlotte adds emotional depth to the narrative. As the family’s breadwinner, she grapples with guilt, resentment, and the impending loss of her husband. “In terms of her emotions, Julia is such an open wound,” Whannell says. “They’re so close to the surface, and she’s able to tap into them in such a real way. When Julia’s getting ready to go into character, she wants to live it. There’s no lounging around on her phone waiting for the take to start. She is just bristling with energy, and it changes the temperature of the set. When someone walks on in that headspace, everyone goes quiet.”

    For Garner, the story is about love, loss, and the slow disappearance of someone you hold dear. “It’s about connection and grief,” Garner says. “When somebody’s in front of you and they’re slowly disappearing, it’s not a sudden death, but a slow process. Early on, Leigh discussed wanting to connect and then having that person not be there anymore. When we started prepping, I told him that I wanted it to feel that the audience was going through the seven stages of grief in one night. When Blake is going through the physical stages, Charlotte is going through the mental ones.”

    Firth WolfMan

    Matilda Firth as Ginger Lovell

    Eight-year-old Ginger serves as the heart of the Lovell family. Matilda Firth’s innocence and bravery shine through as she navigates the terrifying chaos. Despite the intensity of the horror, Firth found joy in the experience, recalling scenes filled with stunts and suspense. “One of my favorite scenes was when I was sitting at the table in the kitchen and putting lipstick on Chris,” Firth says. “I also loved the stunt work up on the greenhouse with Julie. It was freezing cold, but we had hot water bottles to keep us warm. For the scene I had to climb across and try to reach Julie. They cut a hole in the greenhouse where I could drop through and the monster is jumping up trying to get me.”

    Behind the Scenes: A Horror Masterpiece

    Wolf Man combines Whannell’s meticulous storytelling with practical effects and prosthetics, making the transformation sequences both visceral and haunting. Produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum and Ryan Gosling, the film boasts an impressive supporting cast, including Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale), Beatriz Romilly (Shortland Street), and Milo Cawthorne (Shortland Street).

    Never underestimate the power of staying hydrated. Water isn’t just essential for survival; it plays a huge role in your fitness journey. Proper hydration boosts energy levels, aids digestion, and enhances workout performance. Keep a reusable water bottle with you at all times as a reminder to sip throughout the day.

    Feeling fancy? Infuse your water with fruits like lemon, cucumber, or berries for a refreshing twist.

    Move More, Every Day

    Century Tuna 1
    Just like Century Tuna brand ambassadors Richard Gomez and Aga Muhlach, you can be consistent in your fitness journey

    Fitness doesn’t have to mean hitting the gym. The key is to find activities that you genuinely enjoy, whether it’s dancing, biking, or yoga. Take inspiration from Century Tuna ambassadors Richard Gomez and Aga Muhlach, who began their fitness journeys 10 months ago and have been consistently incorporating exercise into their busy lifestyles ever since.

    Consistency is what counts. Whether you’re sweating it out in a high-intensity session or simply walking the dog, every bit of movement adds up to a healthier you.

    Keep Your Goals Realistic and Track Progress

    It’s easy to get discouraged if you set the bar too high. Instead, set realistic goals that align with your lifestyle and fitness level. Celebrate small wins, whether it’s completing your first push-up or sticking to a week of healthy meals.
