IF THERE’S any local celebrity that fashion maven Heart Evangelista wants to grace more fashion events, it would be Anne Curtis, who the former said deserved to have her own “moment” in the high-stakes fashion scene.

On Tuesday, September 24, Evangelista uploaded a mini vlog on her “Day O” in Paris, showing her fittings with luxury brands, campaign photoshoots, and in-between conversations with her team.

In one of the clips, the fashion influencer was seen scrolling through her Instagram feed when she saw Curtis’ post on her attendance at one of the shows in this year’s Milan Fashion Week.

“Ang cute, cute ni Anne,” expressed Evangelista. “Anne, I want you to have the moment… Dalian mo na, Anne, rampa ka na dito.”

Evangelista also complimented the “It’s Showtime” host’s fashion week outfit, pointing out that they have more in common than their having grown up under the show biz spotlight almost at the same time — they also have the same tastes in fashion that it felt like they were “twinning.”

On top of that, Evangelista said she admired Curtis “pure heart.”

“I really appreciate Anne; you know, when we were growing up, we were both in showbiz, and it was a little bit stressful,” she said. “But then, as you age, you really discover she has such a pure heart so it’s so nice that we are okay, and we became good friends.”

“I should spend time with Anne. She’s very nice; she’s very supportive; she’s a girl’s girl,” concluded the Kapuso star.

Curtis previously left a comment in one of Evangelista’s photos from Paris Fashion Week, simply writing, “Love!” followed by a red heart emoji, which received more than 1,000 likes from netizens as of writing.

In June, Evangelista and Curtis landed fourth and ninth spots, respectively, in the Top 20 Global Celebrities for all Fashion and Sportswear based on Launchmetrics Insights’ report on fashion marketing. (Jessica Ann Evangelista © Philippine Daily Inquirer)
