2024 Emigala Awards: Pia Wurtzbach Honoured as Global Fashion Influencer of the Year
At the Emigala, the 2015 Miss Universe was celebrated as the Global Fashion Influencer of the Year
At the ultra-glam Emigala at Festival Bay, Dubai Pia Wurtzbach Jauncey was awarded the prestigious Global Fashion Influencer of the Year award. This achievement marks her remarkable journey from Miss Universe to an international esteemed fashion icon.
Pia attended the awards, which are regarded for their recognition of top personalities and brands in the fashion and beauty sector, wearing a stunning Michael Cinco ensemble, paired with Bulgari jewellery.
The Filipino-German actress, model and beauty queen won the title of Miss Universe in 2015, representing the Philippines. She has since gained international recognition for her beauty, style and advocacy work. She has worked with organisations such as UNAIDS and the Department of Health in the Philippines to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS.
In the age of social media, Pia has aptly learned how to utilise platforms such an Instagram to promote these humanitarian initiatives and showcase her distinct style with a diverse audience. From her glamorous red-carpet gown at the premier of Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny, to her recently pictured streetwear in Venice, Pia’s Instagram feed offers a glimpse into her fashion universe.
With a whopping 14.7 million followers on Instagram and 103K members of her broadcast channel, this award could not be more becoming of Pia, as it is clear that she has made her mark on the fashion and content-creation world, proving that true influence stems from a combination of outward glamour and inner grace.
