MANILA, Philippines — Fashion influencer Heart Evangelista brought good high-energy vibes to the fashion week in Paris, France, by channeling her old character in the blockbuster film “Ang Tanging Ina.”

In a video posted on her Instagram account, Heart brought back her old character Portia by saying, “Palibhasa naiinggit ka lang dahil hindi matutuloy ang debut mo.”

“Ma, natuloy 'yung debut ko,” Heart said in her latest video from Paris, scored with the "Ang Tanging Ina" song, as she enjoys the biannual fashion event in the French capital. 

"Ang Tanging Ina" is the first of the film franchise released in 2003. It stars Ai Ai Delas Alas as the titular widowed mother of 12, with Heart portaying one of her children. 

Heart's participation at the Paris Fashion Week this year has fans curious with her mother, Cecilia Ongpauco, joining her in one of fashion world's biggest biannual events.

Heart also posted different photos and videos of what is happening to her in Paris.

“A mother and daughter moment! We are Phan-girling over this look,” Heart captioned her post showing her bonding with her mom. 

Heart previously credited her Mommy Cecilia as “the voice behind my courage” in a mini-series-style Instagram reel.

Heart was spotted sitting in the front row seats of several fashion events with hotel heiress Nicky Hilton and American socialite and fashion influencer Olivia Palermo.

Among the fashion shows Heart attended while in Paris were for Louis Gabriel Nouchi's LGN, Hermes, Sacai, Yanina Couture, Schiaparelli, Kenzo, Amiri, and Tamara Ralph.

The 2026 Paris Fashion Week has three main parts: the recently concluded Men's Fashion Week for Autumn/Winter 2026-2027 (January 20 to 25); the currently ongoing Haute Couture Week for Spring/Summer 2026 (January 26 to 29); and the upcoming Women's Fashion Week for women's ready-to-wear shows (March 2 to 10).
