Heart Evangelista is truly in a league of her own. The Filipina star is currently in Dubai for the prestigious Emi Gala, where she is honored with the Global Fashion Influencer of the Year Award.

Right after landing in Dubai, Heart went straight to Michael Cinco's atelier to select her look for Emi Gala's opening ceremony. Heart was accompanied by her good friend and designer Michael Leyva, who designed some looks for her to wear at the stylish affair (more on this later!) It was only fitting to see Heart in Michael Cinco while she's in Dubai, the renowned Filipino fashion designer has not only cemented his influence in the United Arab Emirates but also in the rest of the world. 

For the Emi Gala's opening ceremony and panel discussion, Heart wore a Michael Cinco Couture look from his Fall/Winter 2025/2026 collection. She completed the look with her Bottega Veneta metallic clutch and her favorite Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry set. Heart Evangelista in Michael Cinco Couture for the Emi Gala 2025

Heart continued her stylish streak by donning a custom Michael Leyva gown at the Emi Gala awards ceremony. She further elevated the high-shine look with an Art Deco diamond choker, a bow necklace by Janina Dizon, and an adorable bunny clutch from Judith Leiber.
