Marian Rivera – A Timeless Beauty of the Philippines in Her Forties
Marian Rivera, often hailed as the “Most Beautiful Woman in the Philippines,” continues to prove that she deserves this title with her stunning beauty even in her forties. According to the entertainment site Preview, the actress captivated all eyes at an event in Manila, Philippines, on July 12. Marian wore a pristine white outfit, topped with a pearl-colored barong tagalog shirt, a traditional Filipino garment. She paired her look with pearl jewelry, a high ponytail, and natural makeup, exuding elegance and charm.
Just two days prior, Marian garnered widespread praise while serving as a judge at the Century Tuna Superbods 2024 competition. She chose a monochromatic dress with a midriff cutout by designer Christopher Esber, complemented by voluminous side-swept hair, enhancing her alluring beauty. The Manila Times described her as “regal,” while Preview referred to her as a “timeless beauty.”
Beyond her striking appearance, Marian Rivera is also a symbol of success, with a flourishing career and a blissful marriage. This has made her a muse for numerous major brands both locally and internationally. According to Gmanetwork, she currently serves as the brand ambassador for at least 50 companies. Additionally, Marian is among the few stars in their forties who earn substantial income by promoting products on her personal Instagram account.
In late June, she and her husband, Dingdong Dantes, attended an event together, where they were praised for their enduring love after a decade of marriage. The couple’s relationship began in 2010, and they starred together in several popular films, including Wild Dance, The Mermaid’s Tale, and You Are My Horizon. They tied the knot in December 2014 and now have two children – a nine-year-old daughter and a son who is about to turn five.
Despite her flawless appearance, Marian has candidly shared in an interview with Pep.ph that she has a body type prone to weight gain, joking that she “gains weight just by breathing.” To maintain her figure, she adheres to a strict diet and rigorous exercise regimen before any major event. Nonetheless, she occasionally feels pressured by the scrutiny over her body.
Born in 1984, Marian Rivera inherited her stunning looks from her Spanish father and Filipino mother, building a remarkable career from modeling to acting. Besides her artistic endeavors, she also runs a successful business specializing in dried flowers, showcasing her versatility and determination in every field she pursues.
