MANILA – It’s not only her outfits when working out or cleaning the house that’s on another level, but her sleepwear as well.

Last week, Heart Evangelista showed off to her Instagram followers how she looks like when asleep while her dog naps by her side.

In the caption, she simply wrote that she’s “all dressed up for dreamland.”

Just like her previous posts, netizens focused their attention to what Evangelista was wearing. Apparently, the actress had Fendi stockings on, which costs thousands of pesos.

Some Instagram users commented how adorable Evangelista is in the picture, and that she’s only among the few who could pull off such a thing.

In between posting pictures or TikTok videos where she displays her designer clothes, Evangelista has been spending her time helping those in the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic.

She also extended help to those badly affected by the crisis, especially the ones who have lost their jobs due to the current situation.
