No one does it quite like Heart Evangelista. Unbeatably equipped with her singular taste and mystifying ability to pull off virtually any piece of clothing, the 39-year-old actress and global style icon is always the one to watch during any fashionable fete.
Hence, it was no surprise when she waltzed into the Marriott Hotel for the GMA Gala 2024 in none other than Giambattista Valli, whose namesake designer she calls a good friend.
The gown she wore was a couture creation from the fashion house’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection, ostensibly an acquisition from her recent Paris trip for the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, where she was hailed as one of the top attending influencers in terms of media impact value.

The gown has Valli’s buoyant, playfully doll-like sensibilities written all over it. It immediately catches the eye with enormous twin roses, a trendy ribbon detail, and a puffy train aided by a massive tulle underskirt. Classical glamour comes from the bejeweled corset, which peeks out from beneath the off-white fondant. In the gown, Heart looked absolutely divine!

She teamed the gown with a blinding assortment of diamond and ruby jewelry featuring stones of various sizes.

As for her beauty look, Heart stuck with her signature soft glam makeup with feathery lashes, contouring eyeshadow, and a glossy nude pout. Her hair was youthfully done up in a slicked-back high ponytail.
