Born a Star? Zia Dantes’ Beauty & Presence Leave Netizens in Awe
ZIA DANTES – A simple backstage moment was all it took for Zia Dantes to trend, with netizens gushing over her natural charm and presence.
Zia Dantes, the daughter of showbiz power couple Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes, is once again making waves online as many take notice of how she is growing into a poised and confident young lady. Netizens were recently wowed after a video highlighted Zia’s eye-catching looks—often praised by fans as her standout “face card”—showing that her natural charm is becoming even more noticeable as she approaches her pre-teen years.
The clip, uploaded by RMA Studio Academy on YouTube, gave viewers a glimpse of Zia behind the scenes while she was getting ready for her recital performance, That’s Amore: A Night at the Movies, held last November. Although the video focused on her preparations for the show, many viewers found themselves drawn to Zia’s calm presence and striking features while she waited backstage.

Wearing relaxed and casual clothes, Zia still managed to shine effortlessly. Online users noted that even without heavy styling or makeup, her developing features stood out. The moment was made even more endearing by the presence of her parents, Marian and Dingdong, who were seen closely supporting and cheering her on during the preparations.
Reactions quickly poured in on social media, with netizens expressing admiration and excitement over Zia’s potential. Some even predicted that she could grow into the next “big star,” possibly following the successful path carved by her mother in the entertainment industry.
Apart from her appearance, Zia has also been earning attention for her abilities as a performer. Several celebrities have recently praised her singing skills. Marian Rivera also shared a heartfelt message for her daughter, applauding Zia for inspiring others through her “courage” and “kindness.”

Zia began showcasing her vocal talent in 2024 when she took the stage for the first time at the Be Our Guest concert. In the same year, she received the Breakthrough Child Performer of the Year award at the 37th Aliw Awards, a notable achievement at such a young age.
Born on November 23, 2015, Zia is the first child of Marian and Dingdong. They also have a younger son, Sixto, who was born on April 16, 2019. As Zia continues to grow, many fans remain eager to follow her journey, drawn not only to her talent but also to the natural grace she brings into the spotlight.
