Alex Eala reveals what her first Paris Fashion Week experience really meant to her

Alex Eala made her Paris Fashion Week debut at Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2027 show, marking a milestone beyond her tennis career. The Filipina athlete, who won the 2022 US Open girls’ singles title at 17 and earned a bronze medal at the 2026 Asian Games, attended the event with her mother, Rizza, during a brief break from the WTA tour.

Eala, who has embraced fashion as part of her identity, wore a Chanel tweed jacket and dark denim ensemble, calling herself a 'Chanel girl through and through.' Her style often blends personal flair with Filipino heritage, including a custom Filipiniana outfit designed by her uncle, Rhett Eala, for the 2023 Laureus Awards. Vogue’s Anna Wintour has also spotlighted Eala as a rising star bridging sports and fashion, alongside Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka, reflecting a growing trend of athletes using style to express individuality.
