10 charming details from Isabelle Duterte's debutante ball

Presidential granddaughter Isabelle Duterte on Friday celebrated #BELLEsima18, a debutante ball held ahead of her birthday at the Rigodon Ballroom of the Peninsula Manila.

Photos on social media revealed that Isabelle's party was a grand but intimate affair with family and friends. 

Isabelle made her entrance in an ombré cobalt blue Michael Cinco gown. Cinco in his Instagram revealed that it's studded with full degrade Swarovski crystals and a video posted by makeup artist Winn Ramos revealed that the debutante truly sparkled in the dress.

Check out more details of the event:

Event designer Robert Blancaflor in an Instagram post on Saturday revealed that Isabelle likes pastel, which prompted them to create "a room full of white and blush using dainty centerpieces, candelabras and an elaborate ceiling design using all fresh flowers and foliage [and other installations]." 

The tables, he added, were mirrored and clear with gold beaded show plates and clear transparent chairs.

Several photos and videos were posted online prior to the event, including a shoot in Malacañang that invited backlash from the public. Critics of President Rodrigo Duterte scowled at Isabelle photos in Malacañang for its "extravagance." — Aya Tantiangco, GMA News
