What you didn’t see on TV at #SA2016SG

Guess who's been bitten by the Descendants of the Sun bug? It's none other than Kate Pang, who kept calling hubby Andie Chen "my Song Joong Ki". Uh, okay... 'Oppa' is in the eye of the beholder!

Um, we're not sure what Qi Yuwu's doing with a napkin on his forehead but we're guessing he's using it as a face blotter -- albeit a really large one.

Nothing's impossible at hair and makeup -- Becks wears a wig and gets a quick snip by her stylist to debut a brand new look for the red carpet.

Ben Yeo, Edwin Goh, James Seah and Pierre Png are all ready to rock the red carpet.

It's de rigeur for David to prepare bottles of bird's nest for the artistes under Passion Salon and after her hair and makeup were done, we found Ya Hui sipping on the lovingly prepared drink.

Ya Hui thanked fans for their support and for all the calls they made for her, after her top 10 miss this year. She had hopes of getting back in the race and said to her fanclub, Team Ya Hui: "You guys have worked hard, I really love you." She promised to also continue to work hard in all her roles to be a good actress in her Instagram post.

It shouldn't be too hard to guess who Chen Hanwei is talking to... (PSST: the Ah Jie of Caldecott Hill whom he is BFF with for more than 28 years!)

A little kid was spotted trailing behind Vivian in the makeup unit and it's none other than her youngest daughter who is in Primary 1 this year.

We were told the ponytail weighs a ton and Jesseca needed some help from her assistant lest it weighs her down and leads to a cramped neck.

Quan Yi Fong morphed into a fangirl when Park Haejin appeared backstage to get ready for the red carpet. After he walked away, she turned to us and said, "He looked at me just now, right?! We had eye contact!"

Xiu Huan's teenage daughters Shanisse (left) and Shalynn (right) wanted to meet up with their friends Calvert and Tay Ying (Hong Hui Fang and Zhen Ge Ping's kids) so mum said "yes" to attending the show on the condition that they got to come along too. How cute!

Time check: 4 pm. After her makeup was done, Carrie was found nibbling on her uneaten lunch box -- a packet of chicken salad pasta -- at one corner quietly.

Chase Tan, Nick Teo and Hong Ling look like they're enjoying not just each other's company but their packed lunchboxes too.

Artistes are humans and need food to sustain them through the night too. Here, we have Ian Fang and James Seah tucking into their chicken rice meals backstage -- guess who's back in black hair too!

Maybe she's doing some last minute voting for herself before the show? Congrats on your first top 10 win, Jayley!

She tells us this is the first time the fashion house is dressing a local celeb for the Star Awards show. Don't you love her ethereal-like dress?

It's always heartwarming to know that some family traditions never change. Geping and Huifang's two kids are always seen at the Star Awards shows, helping mum and dad get ready for their big night.

Hong Ling unexpectedly lost weight prior to Star Awards 2016 Part 1 and had to be re-fitted into her made-to-measure Francis Cheong dress that had a belly cut-out and a high slit on the side.

After getting her all preened and primped, Rui En's glam squad gathers behind her for a group shot.

Chen Liping throws Rui En into a fit of giggles during their group shot. Guess what her secret weapon is? Tickles. We heard Rui En chortling, in between shots, "Stop tickling me!"

We spotted hair maestro David Gan pulling Ah Jie Zoe Tay's cape back a couple of times to get the right "movement" shot for the cameras. Click on for the finished look.

And this is what her "flying" cape looks like, thanks to "photography assistant" David Gan.

Before she had an electronic fan, Kate was seen fanning herself backstage with a piece of cardboard.

How many pair of hands are needed to get Yi Fong red carpet-ready?

Maybe they're talking about baby Qi who's missing out on all the fun tonight?

Everyone wants a selfie with Ah Jie, including Thomas Ong.

Nothing stands in the way of Mark and his giant donut float. By the way, we're guessing Mark will be pleased to know he'd have more than one float at home -- we were told his wife has copped a few of these giant floats on her way out of the theatre.

The Ah Boys are clearly fans of "ET" from Star Maiden.

Roles reversal: we love how Biren's rocking her power suit with a deep-V cleavage while Hanwei opts for a slightly feminine touch with a lace shirt underneath his.

Hype Records artistes cosy in for a group shot backstage before the red carpet.

Brandon Wong, Shane Pow, Priscelia Chan, Jin Yin Ji, Ben Yeo, Yao Wenlong and Zhang Yaodong.

Priscelia and Ben

Tay Kewei, Belinda Lee and Rebecca Lim.

'Bin Bin' and 'Loy Loy', who are running for the Toggle Most Beloved Celebrity BFF Award, stuck close to each other backstage and were never seen without the other.
