Heart Evangelista once again solidified her status as a global fashion icon as she landed among Lefty’s Top 10 Key Voices for the January 2026 Paris Menswear Fashion Week.
Heart breached a heavily male-dominated influencer landscape, posting a 5.4% engagement rate that generated $3.34 million in Earned Media Value (EMV).
With her in the Top 10 were K-pop idols Mingyu (Seventeen), The8 (Seventeen), and Hyun-jin (Stray Kids); Thai actor and singer Nattawat Jirochtikul (Fourth); and other talents and brand ambassadors in the Asia-Pacific region.
The only other female in the list was Chilean-Mexican singer Mon Laferte, who performed and appeared at the Willy Chavarria show.
During the Menswear Fashion Week Fall-Winter 2026 last month, Heart Evangelista attended high-value shows of Amiri, Sacai, Patou, Hermes, LGN Louis Gabriel Nouchi, and Kenzo.
According to observers, Heart’s strong media impact — especially being the only Filipino representative in the latest Lefty ranking — proves that she continues to drive significant luxury fashion value in the Asia-Pacific region.
