Imee Marcos goes for purple at Senate opening session: 'Parang Barbie lang'

Senator Imee Marcos donned a purple outfit for the opening ceremony of the Second Regular Session of the 19th Congress at the Senate on Monday.

Her dress featured butterfly sleeves and a bow on the neckline.

"Parang Barbie lang," she told members of the press.

According to GMA Integrated News reporter Hana Bordey, Imee said she simply imitated the previous outfits of her mother Imelda Marcos.

Imee attended the opening session at the Senate ahead of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s second State of the Nation Address (SONA) in Batasang Pambansa this afternoon.

Bongbong last week said his SONA will be “really very simple” and would be a “performance report” for Filipinos to see which of his pronouncements have been realized.

The Batasang Pambansa Complex in Quezon City has already been in lockdown since Thursday, ahead of Marcos’ SONA.

“Parang Barbie lang,” Senator Imee Marcos says of her outfit for the opening of Senate session. She said she just imitated her mother’s previous outfits. @gmanewsbreaking @gmanews pic.twitter.com/bleOcGVBwb
