A million pesos worth of disaster is how fashionistas describe the gown Angel Locsin wore at the recently concluded Emmy Awards.
Blogger Dailyfashionista called the gown designed by Dubai-based Michael Cinco, “a disastrous dress.”
“I love Angel Locsin, but for a 1 million peso dress c'mon! They should have given her much, much more. Perhaps, an Inno Sotto or a Monique Lhuillier creation,” she went on.
“Geez....sooo wrong. Angel Locsin resembles like a legendary bird in Slavic mythology Alkonost in this hideous ummm...gown?...shoosh!”
For Michelle Halpern of Stylecaster.com, the dress is “dangerously reminiscent of Bjork's swan-inspired dress from 2001.”
“And when we say dangerous, we don't mean dangerously sexy.”
Though some of Locsin’s fans came out to defend her in various online fora, not a few agreed with the observation, with one lamenting that the gown wasn’t representative of Locsin’s personality.
“It just wasn’t her.”
That said, there are other fans who blame Cinco for going over the top with the beads and the Swarovski crystals, calling the gown “a mistake” akin to something “a beauty pageant candidate from the ‘80s” would wear.
Another fan wrote that the six-kilo gown made Locsin look “awkward and fat.”
Early on Locsin’s camp crowed of her triumphant Emmy’s red carpet walk, calling her “the crowd favorite” and her gown, a “head turner.”
“She really stands out dahil ang ganda ng long gown niya. Everyone is staring at her. Everybody is staring at her gown,” the young actress’ manager Becky Aguila reported at the time.
Locsin travelled all the way to New York for the 37th edition of the long-running award organization to vie for the best actress plum.
She was nominated for her portrayal of a she-wolf in the ABS-CBN teleserye "Lobo." Locsin inevitably lost to veteran British actress Julie Walters (“A Short Stay in Switzerland,” BBC, United Kingdom).
Locsin is the second Filipina to be nominated under the best actress category in the competition. Her nomination came 20 years after Tessie Tomas’s for her role as former first lady Imelda Marcos in “A Dangerous Life.”
Cinco, one of Preview Magazine’s “Designers to Watch,” once claimed to have dressed the likes of Naomi Campbell and Dita von Teese among others.
