Heart Evangelista has impeccable taste when it comes to fashion, no questions asked. Whether she's sporting a casual look or a full-on glam outfit, the Kapuso style star simply never fails to deliver a masterclass in sophisticated dressing. High fashion practically runs in her veins, and her all-white ensemble at the Avon launch event makes a case for it even further.
LOOK: Heart Evangelista Wearing the Schiaparelli Lobster Skirt
Last Thursday, May 2, Heart was introduced as the face of Avon's intimate apparel line. To mark the milestone, the 39-year-old graced the event in a chic all-white number: a form-fitting mesh top by Neric Beltran matched with a ruched maxi skirt featuring a meticulously embroidered lobster right out front.
If you've been keeping up wit the latest runway shows, you've probably guessed it already: It's the crowd-favorite Lobster skirt from Schiaparelli's Spring/Summer 2024 collection. An instantly iconic look on Heart, if we should say so ourselves.
LOOK: Zendaya Wearing the Schiaparelli Lobster Skirt
In case you're wondering where you've seen this look before, you probably spotted the exact same skirt on Zendaya. In December 2023, during the Dune 2 press tour, the Hollywood actress sported a full fresh-off-the-runway Schiaprelli look. Paired with a sleek bob and a radiant makeup finish, Zendaya donned the Lobster skirt with a collared button-down from the house's same collection.
What is the Schiaparelli Lobster Skirt?
One of the brand's latest ready-to-wear offerings, the meticulously embellished skirt is a nod to the Italian fashion house's surrealist genesis and avant-garde ethos. For this runway piece, creative director Daniel Roseberry put a contemporary spin on Elsa Schiaparelli's original Lobster dress, a seminal column dress from the 1937 Haute Couture Collection.
The Lobster Dress is a historical emblem of the house of Schiaparelli.
The lobster motif, emblazoned across the skirt, was designed by Salvador Dali himself—a Spanish artist and a good friend of Elsa Schiaparelli. Regarded as a symbol of sexuality,
this silk organza frock gained popular acclaim after it was worn by Wallis Simpson, the former Duchess of Windsor, ahead of her wedding with King Edward VIII.
