Ah, Aicelle Santos—singer, selfie-taker, and apparent connoisseur of controversial fashion. 

Netizens were aghast when she donned a terno that looked like it had survived a fight with a lawnmower. Did she run out of fabric? Perhaps the ghost of Imelda Marcos snatched her sleeves mid-sewing. 

Then, as if her outfit wasn’t trending enough, she struck a pose on Malacañang grounds—a place where, ironically, she once vowed not to tread. From staunch anti-Marcos critic to “selfie queen ng palasyo”, Santos served us an all-you-can-eat buffet of irony with Malacañang Christmas goodies on the side. Hypocrisy? Opportunism? Or just pure artistic expression? After all, nothing says “I’ve moved on” like basking in the glow of power’s gilded halls. It’s the season of giving, and Santos gave us the best gift yet: a reminder that principles, like terno sleeves, are sometimes optional.
