5 International Filipino Artists and How to Cop Their Style
Learn how to hit those fashion high notes like these celebs!
Talented Filipinos are a mainstay in the international entertainment sphere, including film, animation, and of course, music. Whether they’re the newest pop sensation or a seasoned performer on the Broadway stage, we still can’t help but beam with pride as they snatch up Grammys or work alongside musical legends on and off the stage.
It goes without saying that many of them are also style icons in their own right and we’re always excited to see what they’ll be donning on next. We’ve put together a list of five of these international and fashionable Filipino artists and let you know how to cop the looks they’re known for.
Bella Poarch
If you’ve always wondered what exactly an e-girl is, just take a look at Bella Poarch. With her edgy, goth-esque aesthetic, she’s a certified TikTok star, influencer, and rising artist all in one. While she may be sporting some outlandish get-ups in her latest music video “Inferno”, Bella also loves keeping things comfy and casual with oversized hoodies and cargo pants. But to get that true, Bella-approved look, go with black and lots of it. Whether it’s in the form of a shape-hugging dress or studded outfit pieces. The more avant-garde, the better.
Steal the look:
Darren Cris
He may have played a crooning high school student with a perpetually preppy style on “Glee”, but in real life, Darren Cris is just like any other guy and feels most confident in a t-shirt and jeans. At the same time, he isn’t afraid to experiment with hues, patterns, and all kinds of prints. As creative with his clothing as he is with his music, Darren’s often been spotted sporting a graphic tee and eye-catching jeans. Try his approach by contrasting colors and layering top pieces for a fresh take on your own fashion.
Steal the look:
Bruno Mars
One of the biggest names in music, Bruno Mars always adores a bit of throwback with his style and is known for his vintage-inspired ensembles. From flashy tops to tracksuits and a bounty of gold bling, he’s got a fashion signature all his own and frequently pays homage to his Puerto Rican heritage through it. You don’t have to rock a fedora to cop his visuals. But try something new with your everyday clothing by opting for picks that are loud and proud with a hint of 70s swag, like geometric patterns and flowery prints.
Steal the look:
H.E.R.
Like a true rock star, H.E.R. (real name Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson) doesn’t let anyone dictate her couture. Whatever she’s feeling, her fashion follows and she’s performed in everything from effortlessly elegant dresses to a pair of shorts and sneakers. A current, red carpet fave, she’s also fearless and goes for a truly fabulous and unapologetically unique approach. Channel your inner H.E.R. in separates that demand visual attention with sequins, graphics, feathers, and more.
Steal the look:
Olivia Rodrigo
With her name rising in the charts and on everyone’s playlists, Olivia isn’t shy about frequently expressing her femininity. And she does so with ultra-girly outfits that are all about cute colors and patterns. From pink and peachy shades to tons of tulle and lace, even Barbie herself would be jealous of what she can put together. Her new album may be “Sour”, but you can mimic a truly sweet-looking outfit by slipping on dresses and pieces that are equal parts whimsical and adorable. Of course, don’t forget to think pink either!
