Filipino fashion personality and Kapuso star Heart Evangelista drew global attention during the recently concluded Milan Fashion Week in Italy, emerging as one of the most talked-about digital influencers at the prestigious event.
Data shared by influencer marketing platform lefty. io highlighted the celebrities and content creators who generated the highest online engagement for luxury fashion brands during the Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026 (Women’s) shows, which ran from February 24 to March 2.
Evangelista secured a spot among the Top 5 digital stars on the list. According to the report, she recorded an average engagement rate of 2.5 percent and generated $8.6 million in Earned Media Value (EMV).
The recognition also made Evangelista the only Filipino included in the ranking of global influencers who drove significant online traction for participating fashion houses during the event.
Joining Heart on lefty. io’s list of “Top Key Voices” for Milan Fashion Week F/W 2026 (Women’s) were Thai actress Faye Peraya, Thai actress-singer Namtan Tipnaree, Thai actor-model Naravit Lertratkosum, and Karina (Yu Ji-min) of K-pop girl group Aespa.
Lefty. io also reported that among brands featured during Milan Fashion Week, Gucci ranked first with $56.4 million in EMV, followed by Prada with $48.1 million, Fendi with $20.3 million, Ferragamo with $18 million, and Dolce & Gabbana with $16.5 million.
“And while the brands provided the stage, creators drove the engagement,” the influencer marketing platform for leading luxury and lifestyle brands explained in its Instagram post tagging the Top 5 influencers, including Evangelista.
Another fashion, luxury, and beauty industry analytics firm, Launchmetrics, ranked Evangelista as the top influencer who generated the most conversation during the Paris Men’s Fashion Week and Haute Couture Week.
According to Launchmetrics, Evangelista recorded $23.5 million in Media Impact Value (MIV) during Paris Men’s Fashion Week and $8.5 million in MIV during Haute Couture Week.
It appears that nothing is slowing down Heart Evangelista as she continues to dominate the global fashion conversation, particularly during major fashion weeks.
Earlier this year, the actress, entrepreneur, and artist further cemented her status as an international fashion icon after being included in lefty. io’s “Top 10 Key Voices” for the January 2026 Paris Menswear Fashion Week — also as the only Filipino on the list.
Evangelista stood out in the heavily male-dominated influencer landscape after posting a 5.4 percent average engagement rate and generating $3.34 million in EMV.
Joining her in the Top 10 were K-pop idols Mingyu (Seventeen), The8 (Seventeen), and Hyun-jin (Stray Kids), Thai actor-singer Nattawat Jirochtikul (Fourth), and other talents and brand ambassadors from across the Asia-Pacific region
