Heart Evangelista credits her success to staying authentic and kind
Heart Evangelista highlighted the importance of authenticity and kindness, stating that these are the keys to her success.
"You are blessed to be a blessing, and I feel that's it. Not just in the financial term but being kind, being nice, paying that forward. Looking at everybody when you say thank you, straight in the eye," she told reporters at a McDonald's event attended by PhilSTAR L!fe.
"That's very important to make a connection that will last forever. But of course, malinaw sa akin that we are all in this world not just for ourselves, but for other people. So, share the blessings. Kaya bumabalik din siya sa akin," Evangelista, who was introduced as one of the latest endorsers of the fast food chain, added.
When asked about the most memorable or special reward she's given herself, Evangelista said that it was taking a risk to participate in Fashion Week despite not many people being interested in it at the time.
"Siguro 'yung tumaya ako sa buhay, that I went down the less-traveled road. And that would be Fashion Week. Kasi hindi masyado siya naiintindihan dati. Aside from fashion, there was a bigger purpose, which was to really express yourself, be yourself in a world where everybody seems to be perfect," she shared.
"And because I was able to do that and liberate myself, I feel like dun talaga lumabas ang blessings. Kasi madami siguro na-touch na you just have to be yourself and everything will go for you. Because when you're happy, it'll be infectious," she added.
Evangelista began her career as an actress, later transitioning into fashion after her first Paris Fashion Week in 2017.
Since then, she has become a staple at different Fashion Week events and has been present at shows of notable fashion houses such as Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Fendi, Gucci, Versace, and Dolce & Gabbana.
