To commemorate the occasion, Marina Bay Sands hosted an unforgettable celebration at LAVO, with special appearances by Sands Global Ambassador David Beckham, Thai heartthrob Win Metawin, fashion sensation Heart Evangelista, and Indonesian star Luna Maya.
Before the evening’s festivities began, we caught up with Heart Evangelista, who shared insights into her journey to fame, her fashion philosophy, and her advice for those aspiring to pursue a career in fashion.
What key moments do you feel truly shaped your journey?
Honestly, it was when I felt like I’d lost everything. Sometimes, you have to be in a phase of 'under construction'—starting from ground zero to rebuild yourself and experience that sense of rebirth.
What is your current fashion philosophy?
Goodness, it’s simply to be yourself. Dress for yourself, for no one else. The moment you feel genuinely good about yourself is the moment you’ll truly look your best.
What was it like to be part of such an exclusive event, and what impressions did it leave on you?
What can I say—“Above Beyond.” I mean, being surrounded by grandeur, but also knowing that everything was created with love and passion, just gives you such a wonderful feeling. I love being surrounded by that energy. It makes you feel like you belong to your own little world, with everything you could possibly need.
