Ormoc Rep. Lucy Torres might start a new fashion trend: the husband barong.
Inspired by the chic borrowed-from-boys style, the model and politician wore her husband’s old barong to President Rodrigo Duterte’s first State of the Nation Address (SONA) early this week.
She asked designer Randy Ortiz to alter the old barong of her husband, actor Richard Gomez.
“One of Richard’s Randy Ortiz barongs, reworked into a Filipiniana top for yesterday’s SONA (Randy simply downsized and added a high lace collar). Wore this tucked into a slim black skirt. Thank you Honey, You did not even know I raided your barong closet last week” she wrote on her Instagram account.
Lucy turned heads at the event. Her pearl jewelry completed her classy look.
It may be recalled that guests in the 2016 SONA were asked to tone down their outfit picks to highlight the President’s message to the Filipino people.
Ladies, you know what to do next time you have a formal event!
