Heart Evangelista Ranks Ahead of Paris Hilton and Jung Hae-in at New York Fashion Week
Last Updated on October 5, 2026 by Over Here Toronto
Heart Evangelista ranked as the top celebrity voice at New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027, generating $7.6 million in Media Impact Value, according to fashion data company Launchmetrics.
The Filipina actress and fashion personality finished ahead of Paris Hilton, who recorded $2.5 million, and South Korean actor Jung Hae-in, who generated $2.3 million.
Heart also placed third among all voices at New York Fashion Week, a wider ranking that includes brands and media companies.
Her latest result follows another high placement earlier this year, when Launchmetrics named her the top celebrity voice at Paris Haute Couture Week.
Heart Tops the NYFW Celebrity Ranking
Launchmetrics ranked Heart first among celebrity voices for the Spring/Summer 2027 season in New York.
The top celebrity figures reported were:
- Heart Evangelista — $7.6 million MIV
- Paris Hilton — $2.5 million MIV
- Jung Hae-in — $2.3 million MIV
- Lingling Kwong — $1.9 million MIV
- Love Pattranite — $1 million MIV
Heart’s figure was more than three times Paris Hilton’s total.
The result measures the media attention tied to Heart’s Fashion Week presence, including online posts, social media coverage, engagement, and other digital content.
It does not mean Heart received $7.6 million in payment.
Instead, Launchmetrics uses Media Impact Value, or MIV, to estimate the value of media attention created by a person, company, publication, or other source.
Heart Also Places Third Overall
Heart’s ranking becomes more notable when brands and publications are added to the list.
In the overall Top Voices ranking, Vogue US came first with $13.2 million in MIV.
Calvin Klein followed at $8.6 million.
Heart came next with $7.6 million, placing her ahead of InStyle US, which recorded $7.4 million, and influencer Mickey Blank at $6.9 million.
That made Heart the highest-ranking individual celebrity in the overall group.
It also placed a Filipino personality beside major international fashion brands and publications in the same media measurement.
What Is Media Impact Value?
Media Impact Value is a metric created by Launchmetrics for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle industries.
The company uses it to give a monetary value to media exposure across different channels.
The system considers factors such as audience engagement, the authority of the source, industry relevance, reach, and content quality.
For readers, the simplest way to understand MIV is as a tool for comparing how much attention different names generated during an event.
It is not the same as income, appearance fees, endorsement payments, or sales.
Heart’s $7.6 million result therefore shows the estimated media value tied to her NYFW presence rather than money paid directly to her.
Heart Attended Several New York Fashion Week Shows
Heart spent the September 2026 Fashion Week season attending runway presentations and sharing parts of the trip with her social media followers.
Her New York appearances included shows by Tory Burch, Prabal Gurung, Grace Ling, and COS.
She also shared fittings, jewelry, street looks, and moments between runway shows.
At the Tory Burch presentation, Heart wrote:
“Beautiful, confident, and very much herself — a woman after my own heart.”
Photos from New York also showed her in the front row at Prabal Gurung and Grace Ling.
Rather than limiting her Fashion Week content to runway photos, Heart shared more informal moments from the trip as well.
That mix gave followers a look at both her scheduled appearances and the time between events.
She Had Already Led Paris Haute Couture Week
The NYFW result follows another Launchmetrics ranking from Paris Haute Couture Week 2026.
In July, Heart was named the top celebrity voice there with $7.5 million in MIV.
Esha Gupta followed with $1.7 million, while Jennifer Lopez recorded $1 million.
Her New York figure of $7.6 million was slightly higher than her Paris Haute Couture Week result.
The back-to-back rankings show how much online attention her international Fashion Week appearances generated this year.
Heart has attended runway seasons in New York, Milan, and Paris for several years.
Another Fashion Data Firm Also Ranked Her Near the Top
Launchmetrics was not the only company to place Heart high in its New York Fashion Week data.
Influencer marketing platform Lefty ranked her second among its Top Key Voices for the same Spring/Summer 2027 season.
That report estimated $5.7 million in earned media value from Heart’s content.
The numbers differ because Launchmetrics and Lefty use their own systems and formulas.
They should not be treated as the same metric.
Still, both reports placed Heart among the strongest individual names linked to the season’s online fashion coverage.
Asia-Pacific Talent Had a Strong NYFW Showing
Heart was also part of a wider group of personalities from the Asia-Pacific region who drew large online audiences during the season.
Other names in the celebrity ranking included South Korea’s Jung Hae-in and Thai actresses Lingling Kwong and Love Pattranite.
Their placements show the growing role of Asian stars and creators in fashion campaigns, runway attendance, and online coverage.
For fashion houses, guests with large and active audiences can extend the reach of a runway show well beyond the people sitting inside the venue.
A front-row appearance can lead to photos, videos, reposts, news stories, and social conversations across several countries.
Heart Continued to Milan After New York
After New York Fashion Week, Heart traveled to Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027.
Her appearances there included the Diesel show, where she was seen seated near ATEEZ member Yunho.
The Milan trip continued a busy overseas fashion schedule for Heart before she moved on to other industry events.
Meanwhile, Philippine fashion also had a presence in Milan during the September season.
Twelve Filipino labels joined the 2026 FASHIONPhilippines program at Fondazione Sozzani, putting Philippine clothing, jewelry, bags, and accessories in front of overseas buyers and fashion workers.
A Major Result for a Filipino Fashion Personality
Heart’s latest ranking gives Philippine fashion another point of visibility during one of the industry’s biggest seasonal events.
Her No. 1 position applies specifically to celebrity voices at New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027.
Among all measured voices, she placed third behind Vogue US and Calvin Klein.
With $7.6 million in estimated Media Impact Value, she finished ahead of Paris Hilton, Jung Hae-in, and several other international personalities.
The result adds to her Paris Haute Couture Week ranking earlier in 2026 and shows that her overseas Fashion Week coverage continues to reach audiences far beyond the Philippines.
