It is a great time for Filipino representation in the global fashion scene these days, as Filipino stars are visible in various international fashion week events more than ever.
Aside from front row appearances during the presentations of numerous prestigious fashion ateliers, even more remarkable this season was how Filipinas were paving the way on the runway itself, as they boasted their catwalk performances as models for this season’s Paris Fashion Week.
1.Pia Wurtzbach
Kicking off the Paris Fashion Week SS2025 was the open-to-public “Le Défilé Walk Your Worth” fashion show at the Place de l’Opéra, as produced by global cosmetic line L’Oréal Paris.
The annual runway presentation has always meant to celebrate inclusiveness, diversity, femininity and sisterhood on the runway– featuring the global ambassadors of the makeup line such as Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevigne, Heidi Klum, Jane Fonda, and more this year. This season’s theme was “Walk Your Worth” which was based on the brand’s legendary tagline “Because You’re Worth It.”
Fresh from her New York Fashion Week SS2025 appearances, Miss Universe 2015 titleholder and current L’Oreal Philippines brand ambassador Pia Wurtzbach walked for the makeup line’s PFW show.
The former beauty queen strutted the catwalk in an elegant black satin dress with huge pink floral sleeves from fashion line Mihano Momosa, as curated by Serbian fashion designer Mihailo Anusic.
She was glammed up with L’Oreal Paris cosmetic products, of course, by international makeup artist Mihano Momosa.
After her brief Bulgari event engagement in Thailand, Pia also flew back to Paris to walk for Filipino fashion designer Michael Cinco this season. Held at the Westin Paris-Vendome, the Paris Fashion Week SS2025 presentation by Cinco featured a finale runway walk by Pia, donning a regal black couture with mermaid silhouette and Filipiniana butterfly sleeves.
The former beauty queen was also later on joined by Cinco himself, alongside Filipino personality and Beauty Belo managing director Hayden Kho, to close the fashion show.
2.Stephanie Valentine aka Glamzilla
Alongside Wurtzbach at the L’Oreal Paris “Walk Your Worth runway presentation was Canadian-Filipina star Stephanie Valentine, also known as Glamzilla in the social media world.
The social media personality donned a black long dress, topped off with a bright yellow trench coat for the Paris Fashion Week show.
With an impressive following of 2.5 million on TikTok and 859K followers on Instagram, Glamzilla is a beauty content powerhouse, especially in the Canadian beauty scene. She’s worked with Sephora and other international makeup brands, scoring New York Times Square billboard appearances and even magazine cover features in Canada.
3. Michelle Dee
Debuting her platinum blonde hair during Paris Fashion Week SS2025 was Miss Universe Philippines 2023 titleholder, model and actress Michelle Dee.
She also marked her Paris Fashion Week catwalk debut as one of the models for Filipino couturier Michael Cinco— hyping up the crowd with her fierce walk, modeling a white blazer with embossed details paired with a white fringed midi skirt.
4.Maymay Entrata
Also making her Paris Fashion Week debut as a runway model was Filipina actress and singer Maymay Entrata.
The former Pinoy Big Brother winner was cast to walk for Vietnamese fashion designer Phan Huy. She showcased two looks from the couture house: one a white ethereal sleeveless top matched with an embellished mini skirt, and the other a black and white printed long-sleeved midi dress.
Maymay also impressively scored another modeling stint from another couturier.
The second fashion designer she walked for for Paris Fashion Week SS2025 was none other than Filipino fashion designer Leo Almodal.
Maymay modeled two fantabulous looks. The first one was a heavenly ballgown in color gold, paired with a headdress for her runway walk. The other one was a bejeweled bodysuit in color canary yellow with trail, which she wore during her live performance of her hit song “Amakabogera” — which marked as the debut of its English version– during the show.
Needless to say, Filipinas really did some major slay during this season’s Paris Fashion Week! Can’t wait for next season’s jaw-dropping moments!
