On May 20, Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero took his oath as the new Senate president, following the resignation of Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri.
Present on the Senate floor was none other than Sen. Escudero’s wife, Heart Evangelista, who later stood by his side during the momentous oath-taking. With her status as a local and international style icon, Heart was decked out in a polished yet sophisticated ensemble apropos for the event.

For her husband’s oath-taking, Heart opted for a dashing brown-toned suit from avant-garde favorite Schiaparelli. The socialite-slash-actress layered with a woolen double-breasted blazer detailed by the brand’s motifs, such as the brass buttons that feature the keyhole. As a subtle but off-the-wall touch, the lapels are adorned with gold thread stitched into a measuring tape.
