Belle Mariano as Cindy Lou Who | Photography by Dookie Ducay
Whenever there's an occasion—whether a showbiz event or a holiday—Belle Mariano is among those young celebrities you can always count on for stunning online content. For Christmas this year, the How to Spot a Red Flag actress gifted her fans and followers a themed photo and video shoot, where she's dressed as Cindy Lou Who, a sweet girl from Whoville who appears in Dr. Seuss' storybook How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Her shoot was complete with a Christmas-themed set design by production designer Justine Arcega-Bumanlag. Belle also nailed her hair, makeup, and fashion looks, thanks to her glam team: stylist Adrianne Concepcion (with Via Abarra and Cent Bermas), makeup artist Jake Galvez, and hair stylist Jericho Frésh. Together, they amazingly turned Belle into Cindy Lou Who with blonde over-the-top hair (accessorized with a red ribbon) and clad in a black-and-white checkered dress, red stockings, and a red cape.
In between portraits of Belle by photographer Dookie Ducay, with creative direction by Eugene David, she also shared photos of her pegs: a young Taylor Momsen as Cindy Lou Who in the 2000 movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
As a further treat, Belle even starred in a short video by Rax Mercado, where she's getting the Christmas gifts ready and seemingly enjoying the holiday vibe until the Grinch makes a cameo.
Belle captioned her post, "Merry Christmas people of whoville!🎄❤️"
The actress-singer, who was featured on the cover of Metro with Donny Pangilinan last May, has had an eventful year with the series Can't Buy Me Love, her "BELIEVE" birthday concert and album launch, and now, the Viu Original Series How to Spot a Red Flag.
