The boys are getting glammed up!

It’s officially prom season — that magical time of the year when everyone suddenly cares about tux fits, camera angles, and whether their crush will notice their outfit before the night ends. For the longest time, the spotlight has always leaned toward the girls: the gowns, the makeup transformations, the dramatic “after” reveals. But let’s be real — times have changed, and the boys? They’re stepping into their glam era too.

This prom season, we’re crowning six digital tastemakers as our COOL PROM KINGS. And who else to help them get glammed up are the top artists behind celebs and influencers in the Philippines.

**JAKE GARCIA** (@jeykerz) at Mercator Models
The Class Clown
What makes Jake COOL? *“Personality wise, I am quite friendly when meeting new people. I do love to sing and dance as well.”*

**XAI SMITH** (@xai_smith) of Horizon Digital
The Academic Acheiver
What makes Xai COOL? “Honestly, I think it’s being myself, no filters, I go after what excites me, share what’s real, and try to stay curious about everything. COOL isn’t about looking a certain way, it’s about owning your story.”

**EGYPT LARKIN** (@c7_egypt) of Cloud 7
The Boy Next Door
What makes Egypt COOL? *“I’m COOL because I’m always willing to try everything at least once and always go with the flow. I just bring good vibes, adapt easily, and enjoy whatever the moment brings.”*

Leading the grooming game is Lars Cabanacan, known for transforming familiar faces like Christian Martinez and Anthony Constantino into heartthrobs. His style? Clean, fresh, and effortlessly cool — the kind of grooming that doesn’t scream “makeup,” but definitely whispers, “leading men.”

Right beside him is Mycke Arcano, whose client list reads like a full runway show lineup — Darren Espanto, Rabin Angeles, River Joseph, etc. Mycke’s BOY BEAUTY blends youthful glow with subtle definition, making sure every angle hits like a soft-focus filter in real life. Let’s not forget about his signature hair flicks.

And of course, no prom king is complete without the perfect suit moment. Enter Edrick Paz — designer, stylist, and the mastermind behind some of the sharpest menswear looks online. From Rabin Angeles to Brent Manalo and Christian Martinez, Edrick proves that a suit isn’t just something you wear — it’s something you own.

Together, these creatives are changing the prom narrative. Today’s boys aren’t just escorts with corsages showing up at your doorstep — they’re showing out. Because here’s the real tea: glam has never belonged to just one group.
