Coming from the tropical islands of the Philippines, and the gray skies of England—Geraldine Jennings is more than meets the eye.
There’s something magnetic about her—the kind of effortless charm that draws you in, whether she’s promoting her newest movie and latest single, showing off her thrifted vintage jacket, or her love for a well-fitted hat.

At 22, Geraldine is already an epitome of balance. She is a student of Business Management at Goldsmiths University of London, an actress, and singer-songwriter, all while wearing different hats and still looking cute in them. She radiates the kind of composed energy that feels both youthful and wise beyond her years.
Between classes, studio sessions, and photo shoots, Geraldine is on a mission to craft a multidimensional career that bridges her creativity and personality. “I’ve always loved fashion, but I think it really started with my family,” she tells me, her voice soft but sure. “My mom was my first fashion style icon. She came from humble beginnings but always enjoyed dressing up—mixing designer and thrifted pieces, she’s always had a good eye. That inspired me a lot.”
A Legacy of Style
Fashion, for Geraldine, is both inherited and instinctive. Growing up between cultures, and having travelled across different countries, taking inspiration from every place she’s been to, she found her early muses close to home. “My mom, my grandmothers, even my dad – they were all my first fashion inspo,” she recalls fondly. “Style runs within the family.”
She describes her personal style as “classy”, but adds with a sly smile, “I like to play around— experiment with accessories and colors. I don’t like to play it safe.” Hats and bows have become her trademark—from Dior bucket hats to vintage baker boy caps and little bows, make for a coquette touch. She’s quick to add that she’s also a fan of statement little bags, shoes and accessories that elevate simple outfits.
“In my everyday life, I like to mix and match designer and non-designer and still be practical. I get my clothes in vintage stores. I’m not someone who buys a new outfit for every event,” she says. “My mom and I love to reuse what we already have. Sometimes I like to borrow vintage pieces from her.” Together they pull pieces from both their closets and do this little fashion show thing—just mixing and matching until something clicks.
It’s a charming image out of a Y2K feel-good movie that would probably star Lindsay Lohan or both Olsen twins: a mother-daughter duo experimenting with textures, silhouettes , and stories—proof that fashion isn’t just about clothes, but also connection.

Fashion with Personality
For all her love of experimentation, Geraldine’s philosophy remains grounded. “Fashion is personal”, she says firmly. “You shouldn’t copy someone else, maybe just take inspiration from. Because it’s about knowing your body type, your colors, your personality. What feels comfortable for you, and what feels the most to you.”
Her approach isn’t about keeping up with trends, it’s about authenticity. That mindset extends to her daily life. On off days, she gravitates towards comfort: oversized t-shirts, cool prints, shorts and a trusty pair of sunglasses. “Even when I’m not feeling my best, I’ll still try to look a little chic,” she laughs.
Geraldine also shares that she has a Louis Vuitton necklace and a Cartier bracelet that she never takes off—ever. “My mom and dad got me those as gifts for doing well in my IGCSE and A Levels examination in high school. They’re just something I always wear and they remind me of my hard work.”
When asked for advice for those still discovering their own style, she doesn’t hesitate. “Take your time. Try different things. Know your body and what suits you. And collaborate with someone you love or look up to. Could be your mom, sister, cousins, best friends or anyone. For me it’s my mom. I believe two minds are better than one.”
Chasing the Dream
Though Geraldine has her days booked busy carving a name for herself in music and acting, her dreams in fashion are far from secondary. “I’d love to work in fashion or in a very creative industry someday—maybe with a magazine,” she shares. “I actually worked as a personal assistant for a photographer at Harper’s Bazaar in New York.” This was back when she was studying Business and Acting/Music at Loyola Marymount University. “It was very Devil Wears Prada vibes—but with nicer people,” she laughs.
Her background studying Business Management complements her dream perfectly, giving her both creative and strategic grounding.
Still, she sees all her passions as intertwined. She has a clear vision of fashion, acting, singing, and business as all forms of expression. “Even in acting there’s still space to show your personality through what you wear and how you carry yourself.” Further establishing her desire to be and be seen as her most authentic self.
Music Meets Style
This year marks a milestone in Geraldine’s artistic journey with the release of her new single “Don’t Go”. The track is a heartfelt mix of vulnerability, yearning and rhythm. “It’s about a moment when you want someone to stay, even when things are falling apart. Some parts came from my own personal experiences. I always want my music to feel personal and real, ” she says.
And while “Don’t Go” already tugs at the heartstrings, there’s more to come. A dance version of the music video is expected to drop later this November, followed by the main music video in January 2026. “We’re really excited”, she beams. “It’s a new chapter for me”.
Evolving with Grace
Looking ahead, Geraldine envisions her style evolving alongside her career. “I think as I get older, my style will become a bit more grown- up, more mature,” she muses. “But I’ll always keep it playful. I notice how trends come back around. My mom’s 90s wardrobe is suddenly cool again – just with a modern touch.”
Her ever-curious spirit and exposure to different cultures ensure her fashion sense will keep evolving. “The more I travel and experience, the more open I become to trying new things – maybe even crazier looks,” she says with a laugh and her recognizable boldness.
For now, Geraldine remains focused on finishing her studies before fully diving into show business. She’s set to sign with Star Magic for both music and acting when she graduates this coming May – a move years in the making.
