April 2025 marks another milestone for Filipino fashion icon Heart Evangelista, as she receives the Global Fashion Influencer of the Year award at the prestigious EMIGALA Fashion & Beauty Awards held in Dubai. Set against the glamorous backdrop of the Jumeirah Emirates Towers, this year’s ceremony honors global figures who have made a lasting mark on fashion and beauty, and Heart’s recognition underscores her unmatched influence and presence on the international stage.

Known for her distinct style—elegant, expressive, and undeniably polished—Evangelista has long been a fixture at Paris Haute Couture and Milan Fashion Week, consistently serving looks that blend modern sophistication with timeless allure.

Her fashion journey, once rooted in the local scene, has evolved into a global affair, with international features in Elle Indonesia, Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam, and other leading publications. Her social media channels have also become a curated gallery of luxury, artistry, and travel, offering followers an immersive glimpse into the world of high fashion.

In 2025, Evangelista collaborated with Indonesian luxury label Voneworld to release the limited-edition “Love Bag”, an embodiment of her design sensibilities—classic shapes paired with intricate, artistic detailing. This collaboration cemented her position not only as a muse but also as a creative partner to global fashion houses. The bag, quickly snapped up by collectors and fans alike, speaks to the elegance and refinement that Heart consistently brings to her projects.

Her rise as a fashion personality hasn’t been without its pressures. In a candid interview, she previously shared the delicate balance between passion and expectation. “People forget that at the end of the day, it’s still a job,” she noted. “The only thing that I love about fashion is that it is the liberation of being you.” This grounded approach to fame—rooted in authenticity—resonates with followers worldwide, making her more than just a style icon; she’s a relatable muse for many navigating careers, creativity, and self-expression.

The EMIGALA Awards—one of the most respected platforms in the Middle East fashion circuit—also recognized fellow international talents this year, including Pritika Swarup and Selma Benomar. Evangelista now joins the ranks of past honorees like Pia Wurtzbach, who won the same award in 2024.

Heart Evangelista’s newest accolade is not just a personal achievement—it’s a celebration of Filipino artistry, elegance, and cultural pride on a global runway. With every appearance, collaboration, and campaign, she continues to redefine what it means to be a style influencer in today’s interconnected fashion world. And as the Dubai spotlight shines on her once more, it’s clear that Heart isn’t just keeping pace with the fashion elite—she’s setting the tone.
