(UPDATED) Filipina tennis star Alex Eala continues to spread her wings outside the sports world.

Eala was seen attending the Michael Kors and Calvin Klein shows at the New York Fashion Week, where she rubbed elbows with other celebrities.

At the Michael Kors show, Eala watched at the Museum of Modern Art along with Natalia Bryant, Chloe Fineman, Lori Harvey, and Aaron Tveit, among others.

She channeled Audrey Hepburn in a classic little black dress, with gloves and kitten heels.

The Perfect Magazine later posted a reel of Eala sitting front row at the Calvin Klein show together with Spider-Man star Sadie Sink, Thai GL actress Lingling Kwong, Pamela Anderson and Tate McRae along with other celebrities.

Elle also posted a reel of Eala, where the Filipina star expressed her delight at being able to express herself through fashion even as she plays her sport.

“I love that in tennis, we’re able to express ourselves through fashion. I know that in a lot of sports, maybe it’s a little more restrictive. You’re able to show your personality in both worlds, and you know, I’m excited to explore more,” said Eala.

Eala had previously sat front row at the Tory Burch show, where she was seen alongside Hollywood stars Amanda Seyfried and Lauryn Hill.

Eala’s attendance at New York Fashion Week comes after former editor-in-chief of American Vogue Anna Wintour noticed her interest in fashion.

Filipina tennis star Alex Eala showed off her sense of fashion as she glammed up for her first fashion week appearance in New York.

Eala attended as a guest and made a front-row appearance at the Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2027 runway show, where she was seen alongside Hollywood stars Amanda Seyfried and Lauryn Hill.

In a reel shared by Cultured Magazine, Eala shared her excitement about attending her first New York Fashion Week show. Vogue and Teen Vogue also shared reels showing Eala at the event.

“I’m so excited. I’m a little nervous. There’s some amazing people in this room, so I’m so happy to be a part of it. You know, my mom growing up really had a lot of Tory Burch shoes, so I have to say the shoes,” Eala told Marvièn.

“Sports and fashion are common in a way where you get to express yourself and you get to show your personality. Sports is very physically demanding and fashion, maybe come back to me after this week and I’ll know more about it. This is my first fashion week,” she added.
