MANILA, Philippines — Heart Evangelista once again cemented her place as a global fashion icon, earning a spot on Lefty’s Top 10 Key Voices list for the January 2026 Paris Menswear Fashion Week.

Breaking into a heavily male-dominated influencer landscape, Heart delivered an impressive 5.4% engagement rate, generating $3.34 million in Earned Media Value (EMV).

Joining her in the Top 10 were K-pop idols Mingyu and The8 of Seventeen, Hyunjin of Stray Kids, Thai actor-singer Nattawat Jirochtikul, and other notable Asia-Pacific talents and brand ambassadors.

The only other woman on the list was Chilean-Mexican singer Mon Laferte, who both performed and made an appearance at the Willy Chavarria show.

During the Menswear Fashion Week Fall-Winter 2026 last month, Heart attended several high-profile runway presentations, including Amiri, Sacai, Patou, Hermès, LGN Louis Gabriel Nouchi and Kenzo.

Observers noted that Heart’s strong media impact — particularly as the only Filipino representative in the latest Lefty ranking — underscores her continued influence in driving luxury fashion value across the Asia-Pacific region.

It identifies suitable influencers from a vast pool of qualified online profiles, leveraging advanced analytics to gain deep insights into demographics, audience behavior, and performance metrics.
