“Do you remember this gown? This is the very same gown I wore during StarStruck’s Judgement Night 21 years ago!” she wrote. “You might even catch a glimpse of it in the opening and closing scenes of GMA’s Station ID on TV.”
In celebration of GMA Network’s 75th anniversary, Yasmien chose to pay a quiet yet powerful tribute by breathing new life into a dress that marked the beginning of her showbiz journey. She had the gown upcycled by designer JC Buendia, the same fashion visionary introduced to her back in her StarStruck days by stylist Sander Andan.
