Filipina tennis star Alex Eala showed off her fashion sense once again as she attended her first fashion week in Paris, just weeks after she graced New York Fashion Week.
Eala dolled up as she attended for the first time the Chanel Spring/Summer 2027 show in Paris, wearing a Chanel tweed jacket with black shirt underneath and dark wash pants.
Clips of Eala's first Chanel show with her mother Rizza Maniego-Eala were uploaded online.
In one of the reels, Eala described watching the Chanel show as an "experience of a lifetime."
“It’s so surreal to experience the collection, to experience Chanel in Paris. I wouldn’t have had it any other way for my first show,” Eala told Vogue Philippines.
In other clips, Eala also shared her thoughts on the pieces she enjoyed in the show.
“So many details. I love how they blended simple silhouettes and details. I think everything is very wearable. That’s what stood out to me,” she said.
The 21-year-old athlete also expressed her love for fashion.
“On my day off, I’m definitely more casual but I do love to dress up,” she said. “This is an experience of a lifetime for me. I’m a Chanel girl through and through so I’m taking it all in.”
Last month, Eala made a front-row appearance at the Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2027 runway show in New York.

Eala's attendance at New York Fashion Week comes after former editor-in-chief of American Vogue Anna Wintour noticed her interest in fashion.
The 21-year old star appearance in Paris Fashion Week happened days after she wrapped up her campaign at the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, where she won the bronze medal in women's singles tennis event.
Entering as the top seed and world No. 18, Eala made it all the way to the semifinals before falling to China's Wang Xiyu, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Eala will next compete in Wuhan, a WTA 1000 event next week. -- with a report from Dyan Castillejo, ABS-CBN News
