Behind the Scenes
Learn more about this year’s Philippine representative to Asia’s Most Stylish Ladies 2019
A congresswoman of Ormoc, wife to Richard Gomez, and mother to 18-year-old Juliana— these are what’s on the plate of our cover subject, Representative Lucy Torres-Gomez. It is oftentimes hard to juggle all things at once but it is a skill that Lucy has gradually mastered out of love for the work that she does.
Despite her busy schedule, Lucy walked into the studio for this pictorial with the most relaxed disposition— warming and charming everyone with her gently-spoken hello matched with a genuine smile. The team immediately went to work.
Wasting no time herself, the stunner sat on the make-up chair of veteran hair and make-up artist Patrick Rosas. Even without make-up, Lucy looked beautiful; with make-up, she looked even more radiant. From her svelte figure to her youthful face, one couldn’t tell that this was a woman in her forties—moreso, a mother to a teenager.
Like our previous representatives to Asia’s Most Stylish, Lucy breathes and embodies style. In her dainty white dress and Roger Vivier shoes, she moved with grace and spoke softly. She would crack jokes with the glam team every so often, yet still remained refined and composed. We were delightfully surprised as she posed fiercely in front of photographer Patrick Diokno’s lens. There was little direction needed as her celebrity-model years were not too far behind her.
