The return of the glamorous fashion event will not be taking place in October as initially announced.
There may be no ABS-CBN Ball (formerly Star Magic Ball) this year, in October, as previously announced. That is according to an announcement made by the Network, which confirmed that the highly-publicized and covered fashion extravaganza won’t happen, this year.
An earlier announcement set the date of ABS-CBN Ball’s return on October 2 at the Marriott Hotel.
“Given the current circumstances, we have decided to postpone the ABS-CBN Ball,” said the opening words of the announcement, which has already circulated online before an official announcement from ABS-CBN was made.
“The purpose of the event was to thank you, our Kapamilya stars, industry partners, and friends, who supported us through these difficult times,” the announcement further said.
ABS-CBN Ball is usually a once-in-a-year event, where the brightest Kapamilya stars and showbiz personalities converge in one place for a night of fashion, glamour, and charity.
Over the years, the event spotlighted the industry’s most fashionable stars and the local fashion designers whose creations get showcased by the country’s brightest celebrities.
The Network skipped the annual event in 2020 and 2021 due to the cancellation of its franchise and the pandemic.
