As Paris Fashion Week comes to a close, we welcome new Filipino faces walking the streets of France
New dreams are born in Paris Fashion Week—some aspire seats in shows, while others hope to be on the runway; sometimes, you can even have both. How lucky are this year’s new Filipino players whose dreams have come true. Here are the names who we hope to keep saying “Bonjour!” to the next shows of Paris Fashion Week.

Michelle Dee
The Miss Universe Philippines 2023 definitely knew how to make her presence known during Paris Fashion Week and that was through sporting a new blonde bob. Not only did she attend shows, but she also walked for one; she opened for Michael Cinco’s Spring-Summer 2025 runway show, creating a mark of global recognition for Filipino talent. Michelle also attended the show and presentations of MAITREPIERRE, Zomer, Sandro, Louis Vuitton, ATLEIN, Lacoste and more. She is one to look out for next coming years, and we’re already excited to see what she has up her sleeves for her future fashion week looks.
Sarah Lahbati
As one of Manila’s most stylish personalities, Sarah Lahbati brought her signature feminine but bold style to the fashion capital as she attended her first Paris Fashion Week. The actress attended shows and presentations for Christopher Esber, Roger Vivier, Maje, Schiaparelli, Lacoste, and more.
Max Collins
The Filipino-American actress and model was also a distinguished guest, making appearances in shows and presentations of Louis Vuitton, Loewe, Golden Goose, and more. As for her fits, she traded her go-to sultry and body hugging silhouettes for more edgy and tailored looks. Collins definitely aced the modern, contemporary style, and hopefully she becomes a regular attendee of Paris Fashion Week.
R’Bonney Gabriel
The Filipino-American beauty queen, fashion designer, and model did not come to play in Paris Fashion Week. Whether in bold red ensembles, striking blue dresses, or an all-black look with a play in textures and layers, R’Bonney brought her A-game in all the shows she attended from Ruohan to Florentina Leitner. She was a definite showstopper in all her looks, and hopefully a regular showstopper from now on.
Maymay Entrata
Singer, actress, and former Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition winner Maymay Entrata was a force to be reckoned with, especially during her runway debut in Phan Huy. Maymay also performed the English version of her 2021 hit track “AMAKABOGERA” during Leo Almodal’s show. When she wasn’t performing on the runway, Maymay was still turning heads in her edgy, rebellious looks on the streets of Paris. Case in point: her attendance at the Maison Yoshiki show.
Kylie Verzosa
The actress-entrepreneur was simply a star during Paris Fashion Week with her attendance to a number of shows such as KIMHĒKIM and Messika, to name a few. All her looks struck the right balance between sultry ang elegant, but all in all incredibly glamorous. Wearing confidence as her best accessory, the beauty queen walked the streets of the fashion capital with ease and sophistication.
