Fashion month is upon us once again, with New York Fashion Week as the tipping point of a whirlwind season that sets the tone for emerging trends and styles.

LOOK: All the Filipino Style Stars at New York Fashion Week for the Spring/Summer 2025 Season
1. Pia Wurtzbach
Clearly, Queen P made sure to match the strikingly feminine attitude of Prabal Gurung's Spring/Summer 2025 showcase. At the event, the former Miss Universe was a vision of timeless elegance, clad in a flowy draped dress in a lush shade of green. Punctuated with a bronzy makeup look, a mauve-red lip, and a loose updo, Pia Wurtzbach was the ultimate sight of class and sophistication in this number.
2. Liza Soberano
Laidback yet edgy? That's right up Liza Soberano's alley!
For the Helmut Lang show, the newly-minted Hollywood actress donned a black, hole-punched bubble dress with a babydoll silhouette, paired with textured knee-high boots. We’re obsessed with this effortlessly cool ensemble!
3. Kelsey Merritt
Sophistication is practically second nature to Kelsey Merritt. At the Carolina Herrera show, the Fil-Am model was a sultry vixen in a form-fitting, scoop-neck mini dress in the most alluring shade of red. She kept it sleek with a black clutch and sling-back heels, topped off with bronzed makeup and a bold red lip. Chic as always!
4. R'bonney Nola Gabriel
Ever fearless with fashion, Miss Universe 2022 R’Bonney Gabriel made quite the style statement at the AKNVAS show. The Fil-Am designer-model arrived in the ultimate statement look: a white contrast wash all-denim set, adorned with floral appliques all over. She balances out the highly textured ensemble with a sleek updo and black frames, completing the look's overall edgy vibe.
5. Nikki Huang
Nikki Huang brought understated elegance to the Alice and Olivia show. The Rustan's heiress stepped out in a brown knit off-shoulder sweater paired with a dark wash denim maxi skirt. A pink Bottega Veneta Cassette clutch and cheetah-print patent pumps added the perfect pop of color to this effortlessly chic look.
6. Liam Labrooy
Constructing an all-black look can sometimes be tricky, as it often runs the risk of looking all too plain. But in case you need some style ideas, look no further than Preview’s NYFW correspondent, Liam Labrooy. At the COS Fall/Winter 2024 show in Brooklyn, the content creator layers a tweed trench over a black button-down and trousers, elevated through some sleek Chelsea boots and a matching textured tote.
Needless to say, when an outfit's not interesting through color, play around wth some texture!
7. Michelle Dee
At the recent New York Fashion Week, beauty queen Michelle Dee walked the runway for Filipino designer Chris Nick. On her way to rehearsals, the Miss Universe Philippines 2023 titleholder served up major style inspiration with her fresh spin on the laid-back "model off-duty" look: A black trench with white frilled accents, rimless frames, suede boots, and a capacious carryall. Cool as ever!
