On this day, all eyes are trained on the red carpet of the House of Representatives, where politicians, their significant others, and guests will display their respective garbs for all the media to take note of.

That said, here are some of the personalities that we can expect to be gracing this year’s Sona red carpet with their ensembles that reflect their individuality and creativity.
