Moms do ‘date night’ style
Mother’s Day need not be exclusively celebrated with the kids. Fine, that’s what the day is all about, so spend lunch with them. But don’t forget Mom’s a wife, too, and the best tribute a husband can give is to take her out on an evening date and remind her that she’s still the woman he fell in love with, enough to want her to be the mother of his children.
For that to happen, no Mom jeans and dowdy frocks will cut it. It’s time for romance once again and seduction is definitely on the agenda. Here are some stylish mothers and their date night looks that keep the fire burning when the sun sets.
Anne Curtis-Smith Heussaff
Anne Curtis, aside from being a popular actress, is considered a global style star for signature houses when she does the fashion weeks in Paris and Milan. She keeps it real, prioritizing comfort when at home or on holiday with her husband, the content creator and chef Erwan Heussaff and their daughter Dahlia, but goes high fashion when out on the town, displaying a worldly sophistication that balances timeless elegance with bold, experimental choices, favoring versatile pieces like LBDs and tailored silhouettes.
Georgina Wilson-Burnand
British-Filipina model and entrepreneur Georgina Wilson has married and raised a family but continues to astonish as a style icon. Wholesome photos with her husband, British businessman Arthur Burnand and their three children, Archie, Alfie and Charlotte in a Gothic church, are a direct contrast to her shoots for top fashion houses. As a model and Sunnies Studios co-founder, she carries edgy fashion well, blending it with relaxed staples featuring tailored blazers, bodycon silhouettes and elevated essentials.
Iza Calzado-Wintle
Actress Iza Calzado, daughter of the late TV director Lito Calzado, has deep, fond memories of her family life with her parents and brother, an inspiration in starting her own with businessman husband Ben Wintle and daughter Deia Amihan. Polished and empowering, embracing a “less is more” philosophy, her style is a confident, versatile mix of feminine elegance and masculine-inspired tailoring, often featuring structured suits, jumpsuits and modern silhouettes that flatter her figure.
Kifu Augousti-Coard
Furniture and accessories designer Kifu Augousti, daughter of renowned design duo Ria and Yiouri Augousti of R&Y Augousti, makes waves both for her artistry and style. Together with her husband, sculptural artist Patrick Coard, it’s a creative partnership made in heaven, with their daughter River as their inspiration. For Kifu, fashion is a form of art and an outlet for expression. Her distinctive sartorial choices are quite daring—from corset tops and leather motorcycle jackets to sheer dresses, with careful attention to couture details and craftsmanship.
Liz Uy-Racaza
Liz Uy never stops evolving in such surprising ways, life- and style-wise. Just when you thought her dynamic career as stylist would never let up, she settles down with husband, tech CEO Raymond Racaza, and their children, Xavi and Mati. But that never stopped her from sharing her gifts with her celebrity clients and the fashion world, showing us new ways of interpreting the season’s trends and investing in timeless classics which she incorporates in her wardrobe and looks that are always effortlessly chic.
Solenn Heussaff-Bolzico
Solenn Heussaff is the quintessential multihyphenate—artist, actress, designer, TV host and model. But her most cherished roles are wife to Argentine businessman and social media personality Nico Bolzico, and mother to Thylane Katana and Maëlys Lionel. Her French-Filipino ancestry is expressed in her eclectic fashion which has the désinvolte quality of carefree nonchalance, characterized by a “calm gesture” of styling—mixing comfort with structure and appearing as though she has not tried too hard, never taking herself too seriously but always looking soignée and alluring.
