Are we going to see more of Marian Rivera in the fashion scene?

Marian Rivera earns glowing reviews after her stunning runway debut in Vietnam’s “Lunar Fracture” fashion show, sparking buzz on whether the Kapuso Primetime Queen is entering her new fashion era.

After gracing Vietnam’s “Lunar Fracture—The Art of Harmony Showcase” on Oct. 15, Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera continues to bask in an outpouring of love from fans and fashion insiders across Asia.

Wearing breathtaking creations by Vietnamese luxury label Hacchic Couture, Marian stole the spotlight as the event’s main muse—exuding timeless elegance and confidence that captivated everyone in attendance.

Her runway appearance quickly became a trending topic, with Vietnamese fans and fashion enthusiasts praising her poise, beauty, and warmth. Clips of her walk flooded social media, earning thousands of comments celebrating her effortless charm—a clear sign that Marian’s influence extends far beyond Philippine shores.

“Actually hindi ko talaga ine-expect, na tawagan ako para pumunta doon kasi may event sila. Sabi ko, ‘sige, try ko lang.’ Ang sarap sa pakiramdam na, sa Vietnam, ipinalabas ang projects ko at kilala pa nila ako. Kinikilig talaga ako,” she shared in an interview with Radar Entertainment and select members of the media.

Marian admitted she didn’t expect such a warm welcome. “Isa ang Vietnam sa mga bansang napuntahan ko na sobrang sweet ng mga tao. Mabait sila sa akin, kahit saan ako magpunta pinapikita nila ang support. So, thank you sa kanila.”

With glowing reviews from her Vietnam runway debut, many are now wondering —could this be the start of Marian’s new era in fashion?

“Hindi naman, nagkataon lang siguro na na-invite ako,” she laughed, staying humble about the experience.

While fans are eager to see more of her in fashion, Marian was quick to emphasize that family still comes first. “Oo, pero hindi palagi kasi mahirap. May mga anak rin ako na iniintindi. Kaya parang, ‘sandali muna,’” she said. “Actually ang pag-alis ko sa Vietnam itinaon ko na may sem-break ang kids ko for one week. Pero kung walang break, hindi ko siya matatanggap.”

Despite her growing recognition abroad, Marian shared that pursuing fashion full-time isn’t really her style. “Parang hindi ako ‘yon. Parang hindi ko personalidad. ‘Wag na muna ’yon,” she said with a smile.

Still, she’s open to the idea, as long as it fits around her duties as a mom.

“Actually iniinvite din talaga nila ako, pero sabi ko nga depende pa rin sa schedule kasi priority ko pa rin ang mga kids ko. Pero kung may chance, bakit hindi? Kasi minsan matagal kung one week or two weeks, mamamatay ako kapag hindi ko makita ang mga anak ko,” Marian said with a laugh.

Beyond her fashion success, Marian also renewed her partnership with NuWhite for another two years—a collaboration that aligns with her advocacy of empowering fellow Filipinas.

“Of course, nakakataba ng puso kasi ang mga produkto na kagaya nito, patuloy na nagtitiwala sa akin. Nakakatuwa rin kasi ang ganda ng advocacy ng product para sa mga kababaihan,” she pointed out.

Marian also shared her belief that true beauty radiates from within. “Kaya siguro kapag sinasabi natin na ‘glowing,’ maganda inside and out. Mas maganda ‘yong combination na maganda ka sa labas, pero mas maganda ‘yong nasa loob,” she said.
