Heart Evangelista on getting called Global Fashion Icon: 'I'm very flattered, but I'm very pressured'

What are Heart Evangelista's thoughts on getting called a Global Fashion Icon?

During the press conference of her upcoming show, "Heart World," Heart said, "I'm very flattered, but I'm very pressured," when asked about the title.

The Kapuso star also shared that the reason she went to Paris Fashion Week was because she felt pressured about the ratings.

"And to put a number or ranking makes it a little bit bittersweet for me because you know how when you're actors and you're always like the best friend, you're always gonna be in every movie," she said.

Heart continued, "But if you are the bida, sometimes there's a timeframe. I don't want to have a timeframe. I just wanna be here."

To address this, she tries not to think about the numbers or being on top and just enjoys whatever is going on.

Heart recently ranked no. 1 in Launchmetrics' list of Paris Fashion Week celebrities after delivering a whopping $10.6M in media impact value (MIV).

She said that her achievement is "for us Filipinos."

"I mean, to be put on the map, that says a lot na deserving tayo of all the luxury that our country is worth investing on when it comes to putting up stores," Heart said.

In the same press conference, Heart also talked about the issues surrounding her and Pia Wurtzbach, saying that she never had a problem with the beauty queen.

Before strutting down Paris, Heart was at the Milan Fashion Week, where she championed OPM in her fashion reels and turned up to events in the most breathtaking outfits.

Heart is set to make her TV comeback this weekend with her reality series, "Heart World," and she said that she didn't want to present herself in the show as someone perfect.

"You kind of see stuff, but I wanted it to be that because I want it to be myself as much as [possible.] If I could swear on national TV, I would do that. Because sa totoong buhay, nagmumura naman din talaga tayo," she said.

"Heart World" will premiere on Saturday, October 26, at 9 p.m. on GMA Network.
