Brands and creative collaborators are eagerly anticipating her next moves, especially as the upcoming fashion and lifestyle events set to define the year approach. Her presence continues to ignite excitement and creativity in everyone she works with.
But it is Heart’s devoted fans and followers who radiate the most excitement, their voices rising in celebration of her journey. Here are just a few uplifting comments:
“Always the chicest!”
“Whatever you wear, it really is appropriate.”
“Good luck with your projects this 2026, and I hope you inspire more.”
These heartfelt words appeared on Heart’s January 6 Instagram post, where she simply wrote, "Back to work"—a testament to her unwavering drive and the inspiration she brings to so many.
It can be recalled that renowned French photographer/videographer Edward Berthelot also expressed excitement for Heart Evangelista's return to style events like Paris Fashion Week.
"There is a reason you are still standing. Love Marie, get up and come back in January. We will wait for you! See you next season!" said Berthelot, who is known for capturing "street style" at major fashion events.
Observers agree: when Heart Evangelista graces the runways of Europe’s fashion weeks, the energy shifts and the atmosphere sparkles with new possibilities.
Over the past year, Heart has opened doors and conquered fashion weeks that once seemed out of reach for Filipino and other Asian artists—proving that ambition and authenticity can break barriers.
Based on Favikon’s study, Heart is ranked 8th in the “Top 20 Instagram Influencers in the Philippines in 2026” by reach, growth, and engagement.
According to infludata. com, Heart Evangelista is ranked 1st in the “Top 20 from Manila on Instagram Influencers by Follower Growth.”
“Discover the most influential creators in Manila with our comprehensive ranking of the top 20 influencers on Instagram. This data-driven analysis identifies the content creators who are shaping conversations, driving trends, and commanding the highest engagement rates in 2026,” explains influData.
“Back to work vibe: recharged, focused, and ready to slay,” said a social media user on Heart’s IG post.
Year of the Horse
Heart's birthday, Feb. 14, 1985, falls under the Year of the Ox. And the forecast for those born in the Year of the Ox, in the Year of the Horse for 2026, is good.
People born in the Year of the Ox are said to be consistently hardworking and have a strong sense of responsibility.
Oxen are said to have great courage when it's time to step up and overcome any difficulty, which makes them strong. They are also said to be intelligent and reliable, but never ask for praise.
It’s no wonder that resilience is the Ox’s greatest strength—resourceful, courageous, and steadfast, giving up is never an option. This spirit defines Heart herself, whose journey inspires us all to rise above challenges and embrace each new year with hope and determination.
