Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach-Jauncey revealed that she has been successfully managing her own career for over a year, declaring 2024 as her most prosperous year to date.
In an Instagram post, Pia shared a photo from her appearance at L’Oreal Paris’ La Défilé during Paris Fashion Week last September, where she donned an elegant black off-shoulder midi dress with detachable pink sleeves. The event, which coincided with the eve of her 35th birthday, was attended by A-list celebrities including Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, and Viola Davis.
“I have been a self-managed artist for over a year now, and 2024 was my most successful year yet!” Pia wrote, expressing her gratitude to friends, partners, and brands that supported her. She encouraged potential collaborators to reach out directly, adding, “I cannot wait to do more with you this year!”
Her post garnered supportive comments from notable personalities such as designer Mark Bumgarner, fellow pageant veteran Christi McGarry, and host-content creator Jazmin Reyes.

Pia’s self-management has not hindered her rise; instead, it has propelled her to new heights. In 2024, she became Bvlgari’s first Filipino “Friend of the House” and Skechers’ first global Filipino ambassador. She also made a stunning return to the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, appeared on the cover of Vogue Philippines, and hosted the Love Gala Auction, where she sold her pageant memorabilia to raise funds for HIV/AIDS advocacy.
Her humanitarian efforts earned her a The Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) award for her commitment to raising awareness about HIV/AIDS in the Philippines.
Pia’s journey to independence followed years under prominent talent agencies. She started her career with Star Magic. She was also under the Miss Universe Philippines and Miss Universe Organization during her reign and later represented by Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc.
