Multi-talented star Heart Evangelista was among the A-list celebrities who effortlessly turned heads at the GMA Gala 2023, Saturday, July 22, 2023.
The dazzling event marked the second year of the Kapuso network's annual gala, which was held this time at the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Newport, Pasay City.
Heart resembled a living masterpiece as she strode down the red carpet in her stunning beige Maison Schiaparelli dress, a couture piece hailing from the renowned Italian luxury brand's Spring-Summer 2023 collection, which drew inspiration from Dante Alghieri's Inferno.

The beige stretch silk georgette illusion strap dress was exquisitely adorned with fully embroidered molded leather metal sequins, featuring a matching molded leather bra with conical breasts, accented by brass and hand-faceted glass piercings.
The exact price of the dress remains undisclosed online, but it's worth noting that couture pieces from haute couture houses can command prices anywhere between USD10,000 to USD100,000, and even higher, varying according to the brand and the materials employed in their creation.
In an interview, Heart revealed it took the brand five months to create this masterpiece.
This is why she was resolute about showcasing the dress's beauty and significance, regardless of its alignment with the event's theme.
She said, “It’s a couture piece from Schiaparelli and it took five months to make. So I was hoping na talagang sana, hindi magbago yung theme o bumagay siya sa theme.
"Kasi bahala na, susuotin ko pa rin siya kahit hindi siya yung theme. Mag-a-adjust ako."
