The event drew A-listers all decked out in elaborate getups.

But Francine and Seth opted for something simpler: brownish outfits with a wrapped, textured look that they later explained in an interview as a creative twist on a Sandman character, which shows dusty dream-weaver meets modern mummy.

In clips from the party circulating online, the 22-year-old Francine rocked a draped dress with subtle bandages and earthy makeup, while her on-screen partner Seth, matched in a loose ensemble.

They posed together, looking cozy and confident amid the spooky decor.

It was all good but not everyone agreed. As party photos and videos hit TikTok and Instagram, a wave of negative comments rolled in.

One viral TikTok video, featuring a clip of Francine at the event, carried a caption "hindi natin sila bati," which racked up thousands of views and sparked debates in the comments.

That's when Barbie Imperial stepped in like a true ally.

The beautiful actress, who has her own packed schedule with upcoming projects, spotted the video and dropped a lengthy, empathetic reply.
