Tim Yap’s highly anticipated annual Halloween ball, Shake, Rattle & Ball, once again captivated Manila’s entertainment and creative community. Hosted on October 30, 2024, at The Space at One Ayala in Makati City, this year’s ball carried a mesmerizing “Cirque” theme, challenging guests to unleash their creativity with daring, imaginative costumes. Teaming up with Sparkle GMA Artist Center’s Sparkle Spell, Tim and his Yaparazzi Events crew encouraged attendees to come dressed as either their favorite characters or unique interpretations of the “Cirque” theme.
A standout moment of the night was Tim Yap’s own entrance. Known across the Philippines as the “King of Halloween” for his commitment to extravagant costumes, Tim transformed into Kokey, a cherished alien character from Filipino pop culture, making his grand entrance with a UFO and dancing his way to the stage. In an Instagram post, Tim explained why he chose this character, sharing his connection to characters who have faced challenges and emerged resilient. “It’s OK to be different. It’s OK to be who you are,” he stated, capturing the night’s spirit of self-expression.
Among the many memorable looks, couples stole the show with clever and coordinated costumes. Olympic gymnast Carlos Yulo and his girlfriend Chloe San Jose made an eye-catching pair as Chucky and Tiffany, horror’s infamous doll couple. Chloe, who conceptualized their look, shared that they wanted an iconic and memorable couple’s costume that would stand out on the black carpet.
Other notable guests fully embraced the “Cirque” theme with unique and creative costumes. Celebrity doctor Vicki Belo dressed as Wonder Woman, while her husband, Hayden Kho, channeled The Greatest Showman. Singer-actress Vina Morales arrived in a Moulin Rouge inspired costume, portraying Satine. The Pangilinan siblings, Donny and Hannah, also turned heads; Donny appeared as Frankenstein, while Hannah drew inspiration from Zendaya’s character, Anne Wheeler, in The Greatest Showman.
With over two decades of history, Tim Yap’s Shake, Rattle & Ball continues to be one of Manila’s most anticipated events, attracting legends, icons, and creative figures for a night dedicated to horror, imagination, and self-expression. As guests danced, mingled, and showed off their unforgettable outfits, Tim’s Halloween ball once again reminded everyone why it’s a beloved fixture of the Filipino entertainment calendar.
