Andrea Brillantes has always treated Halloween like her personal red carpet. She made her much-awaited return to the costume scene this year with two unforgettable looks that had social media buzzing all weekend. Each transformation told a story, each one imagined through the creative partnership of Andrea and stylist Eldzs Mejia.

At The New Nocturnals party, Andrea stepped into her first character of the weekend: a sleek, sultry black cat. Clad in a halter bodysuit by Neric Beltran, she completed the look with feline ears, a long tail, and black body paint that turned her into a living work of art. The idea was to channel something mysterious and powerful, an embodiment of the night itself. For Andrea, the concept of transformation was key, and this one pushed her to fully commit. Hours of prosthetics and body paint later, she emerged completely unrecognizable, commanding attention under the dim lights of the event.

Her second look, revealed at the Shake, Rattle, and Ball: Once Upon A Time party, could not have been more different. Andrea traded her dark, nocturnal alter ego for something light, otherworldly, and futuristic. She became what her team called an “alien princess superstar,” wearing a structured bodysuit by Neric Beltran, platform boots, and a bubblegum pink wig that matches her body paint. The look was whimsical yet glamorous, perfectly matching the event’s theme. It was Andrea as the heroine of her own cosmic fairy tale, a vision straight out of another world.

Andrea’s team drew inspiration from her past transformations, like her Aswang and Lilith costumes from 2023, but pushed even further in terms of concept, execution, and artistry. The process involved several fittings with Beltran and a dedicated team of makeup artists working simultaneously to perfect every detail.

Behind all the shimmer and body paint was a clear passion for creativity. Andrea approaches Halloween with the same energy she brings to her acting: immersive, imaginative, and bold.

From prowling the night as a black cat to shining bright as a galactic princess, Andrea Brillantes once again proved that when it comes to Halloween, she doesn’t just show up, she transforms.
