Heart Evangelista meets little girl who recreated her GMA Gala 2025 look

Heart Evangelista met the mother and daughter duo who went viral online for their impressive DIY recreation of the Sparkle star's GMA Gala 2025 look.

According to Nelson Canlas' report on "24 Oras," Thursday, the recreation video of Mommy Rochelle Santiago and her daughter Eunice or Indai has already garnered over 1 million views on TikTok.

Their much-anticipated meeting took place at an event, where Heart surprised the little girl with a teddy bear.

"Mommy, grabe ka! Natupad 'yung pangarap ko na makilala kayo. Ang galing-galing niyo!" Heart told Rochelle.

To make the encounter even more memorable, Heart herself interviewed her young fan.

"Matagal ko na siyang hinahanap, sinabi ko sa last interview natin, and it's such a nice moment to, you know, meet Eunice. Because, you know, again, it's a reward of love and friendship and again it goes back to 'yung childhood mo. And sana, in a way, naging 'yun ako sa kanya and I appreciate her efforts and the efforts of her mom," Heart said.

Heart's GMA Gala dress was a hand-painted Schiaparelli ensemble.

Heart is currently gearing up for the return of her reality series, "Heart World."

The first season of "Heart World" premiered on GMA Network in October 2024 and aired its last episode in January 2025. The reality series gave an exclusive look into the life of the Global Fashion Icon, such as when she met South Korean actress Song Hye Kyo at Paris Fashion Week 2022. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
