Pia Wurtzbach, the Miss Universe 2015 titleholder, continues to make waves in the fashion industry as she is set to receive the prestigious Global Fashion Influencer of the Year award at this year’s EMIGALA Fashion & Beauty Awards. The event will be held at the Dubai Festival City Mall on April 27 and 28, marking a significant milestone in Wurtzbach’s career beyond her pageantry success.
The EMIGALA Awards, now in its fourth year, celebrates the achievements of individuals and brands in the fashion and beauty sectors both regionally and globally. The award recognizes influencers who have made a significant impact on the fashion industry through their personal style, public influence, and ability to drive trends.
This accolade follows Wurtzbach’s recognition by data agencies Lefty and Launchmetrics, which highlighted her as one of the celebrities who generated the highest media values during the recent Milan Fashion Week. Her influence extends across various fashion platforms, resonating with audiences worldwide.
Wurtzbach’s journey in fashion has not been without challenges. Despite facing criticism from some quarters, she remains undeterred, using the negativity as fuel to further her ambitions in the fashion realm. “The more you tell me no, the more I’m going to try to prove you wrong,” Wurtzbach stated, reflecting her determination to overcome obstacles and succeed against the odds.
Her upcoming recognition at the EMIGALA Awards is not just a personal victory but a testament to her enduring influence and contribution to the fashion industry, proving that her talents extend far beyond the beauty pageant stage.
