With one pose, one camera click and a fashion enthusiast wife, former Senator Chiz Escudero made heads turn as he donned an all-white, padded shoulder suit, signaling a big come back for this clothing style that first became popular in the 1940’s.

The now viral photo was posted on Heart Evangelista’s (Escudero’s wife) social media account.

Netizens almost didn’t recognize Escudero with his total makeover, earrings and all!

The post also seemed to signal the comeback of the couple who was previously rumored to have separated, something that Evangelista has repeatedly denied.
