On Thursday, a fan on Twitter said Heart was supposed to be in Paris for luxury jewelry Chaumet and could have met its brand ambassador, South Korean actress Song Hye Kyo.

The fan added that Heart was also invited to this year's Cannes Film Festival by brands who wanted her to wear their designs but the actress had to decline.
