Heart Evangelista remains a certified Kapuso! Last Monday, July 29, the 39-year-old actress and global fashion icon renewed her contract in a grand signing ceremony at Studio 7. "GMA Network truly values one of its most prized gems," said host Martin Javier as Heart made her entrance.

Having entered show business at 13 years old, the contract renewal not only marks Heart's continued loyalty to the network but also celebrates her growth as an artist through the years. From being the quintessential teen star of the '90s and early 2000s to becoming a mainstay at the world's most prestigious fashion events, it's apt to say that she's built an illustrious resume over her 26-year career.
Following the contract signing proper, the program included a series of video greetings from Heart's closest friends from the industry and fellow Sparkle artists. Celebrities like Bea Alonzo, Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, and Alden Richards sent their well wishes to the actress.
On top of that, global A-listers from the fashion industry also sent congratulatory messages to Heart. Hermès executive Michael Coste, Harper's Bazaar Singapore Editor-In-Chief Kenneth Goh, luxury shoe designer Christian Louboutin, and Italian couturier Giambattista Valli all offered their warmest greetings to their dear friend.
It was only apt that Heart Evangelista rose to the grand occasion clad in a dazzling Giambattista Valli dress, coupled with a luxurious stack of necklaces—an outfit befitting showbiz royalty.

To mark this milestone, Heart channeled the elegance of Old Hollywood glamour in a fully beaded, tiered column dress from Giambattista Valli's Spring/Summer 2023 collection, as styled by Iza Sim. She completed the look with nude platform heels from Le Silla, a classic evening makeup look by Memay Francisco, and sleek, iron-straight hair by Ghil Sayo. Her opulent ensemble was further accentuated by two luxurious necklaces adorning her decolletage.
The white gold necklace, a multilayer tennis necklace with a white pear cut diamond at the center, is from Royal Gem Jewelry. To infuse a dash of color to the achromatic ensemble, Heart adds an emerald-encrusted necklace by WH Jewels, an exquisite creation akin to the iconic necklace Elizabeth Taylor wore to the 1962 screening of Cleopatra.
Congratulations, Heart!
