Pia Wurtzbach continues to mark milestones in her rising career as a style influencer. 

The former Miss Universe attended the 2025 British Fashion Awards as a guest of Bulgari (where she is a Friend of the House), her first time to walk the London red carpet.

She was a vision in blue -- her signature color -- as she graced the event in a couture creation by Hong Kong-born, London-based fashion designer Robert Wun.

"A night of firsts. My first London red carpet + my first time at the Royal Albert Hall = a night I'll never forget," Wurtzbach wrote in an Instagram post.

"Thank you to the British Fashion Council for such a special evening," she added.

Wurtzbach made history in 2015 as the Philippines' third Miss Universe titleholder. In 2023, she began dipping her toes as a style influencer, attending Fashion Week events in Milan and Paris. 

She has been slowly making her way to the top, winning accolades from magazines both in the Philippines and abroad. 

But beyond her Fashion Week stints, Wurtzbach makes sure to continue using her platform for good, promoting causes ranging from HIV awareness to mental health.
