Glam + sweet love for Heart Evangelista and her 'momager' at Paris Fashion Week

Heart Evangelista revealed on Instagram that she returned to Paris Fashion Week with her "momager,  after being absent from several key fashion weeks last year.

In a post on January 19, Heart, the screen name of Love Marie Payawal Ongpauco,  showed her photos from Paris accompanied by her mother, Cecilia Ongpauco and Heart captioned one of her posts: “Momager has entered the chat. Welcome to #PFW #ParisFashionWeek.”

Her video reel drew attention for its cinematic feel, inspired by the teaser trailer of the upcoming sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2, directed by David Frankel and starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. 

Heart, 40, also shared a tender behind-the-scenes moment where she gently adjusted her mother’s coat collar. 

She paired the photos with a short but meaningful caption: “Different seasons, same love.”

Other images show the mother-daughter duo standing side by side, looking confident and elegant in their long coats as January is usually one of the coldest months in the City of Light (Ville Lumiere).

Heart wore a long quilted blush-pink coat trimmed with dark fur, paired with statement sunglasses and a structured handbag. 

Her mother wore a camel-toned coat, accessorized with a black designer bag and tinted sunglasses, embodying classic sophistication and quiet strength.

Heart Evangelista’s latest Instagram reel also included a personal note and pair of pumps from luxury designer Christian Louboutin, extending a warm welcome for her return.

Heart Evangelista continues to solidify her status as a global fashion icon, having recently been recognized for her influence in the industry. 

Among her accolades from 2024 to 2025, she was named Global Fashion Influencer of the Year at the EMIGALA Awards in Dubai, honored as Asia's Most Influential, and recognized as a top celebrity at Paris Haute Couture Week.
