Heart And Stylist Iza Sim Share A BTS Look Of How The Dress Was Made

How do you follow up on a head-turning Schiaparelli creation for last year’s GMA Gala? Heart’s answer came in an all-white mermaid-silhouette Giambattista Valli creation that featured cutouts, a pearl-studded bodice, and rose details around the neck.

The actress, runway model, and global style influencer posted a video on her social media, tracing how the custom look made its way from Valli’s atelier in Paris to the Grand Ballroom of the Manila Marriott Hotel.

In the video, clips of the Arc De Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower were interspersed with snippets of Valli himself, ensuring every detail of Heart’s gown was perfect. ICYDK, Valli is one of the go-to designers for award shows and red carpet-events. The Italian creative is sought after by international celebs like Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, and Amal Clooney.

“I want you to be perfect,” says Valli as he gives his final sign-off on the gown. He also left a “Love you!!!” in the comments section of Heart’s post. “[And] I love you too,” Heart replied to the comment, complete with a red heart emoji.

It seems like Valli is really one of Heart’s favorite designers. Heart was spotted in the front row of his Fall 2024 presentation in March. She was also one of the first to wear pieces from Valli’s collaboration with H&M back in 2019
