Netizens Criticize Pia Wurtzbach Over Fashion Week Interview
PIA WURTZBACH—The Miss Universe 2015 faced online backlash after her Milan Fashion Week (MFW) interview. Many social media users reacted negatively to her comments about the Fendi show, where she shared her thoughts on the collection.
Pia made a stylish comeback at MFW after skipping Paris Fashion Week. She expressed her excitement in a social media post, saying, “Baby, we’re back. It’s nice to see the Duomo again. It always gives me the feels.”
She attended several events, including Fendi’s show, where she was interviewed by Harper’s Bazaar Thailand. During the interview, Pia praised the collection, saying, “All of the looks were fabulous!” She admired the classic styles, bag charms, furs, embellishments, and suede fabrics, highlighting a green leather outfit that caught her attention. She also admitted that she was never a fan of bag charms before but started appreciating them after seeing the designs at the show.
Although her comments seemed harmless, they unexpectedly sparked backlash. Some online users mocked her enthusiasm, calling her “shallow” and “lacking substance.” Others accused her of “trying too hard” to fit into the fashion industry.
Despite the criticism, Pia Wurtzbach continues to establish herself in the fashion world. In 2024, she made history as the first Filipina ambassador for Bulgari and walked the prestigious L’Oréal Le Défilé runway in Paris.
Meanwhile, Pia Wurtzbach is a Filipina-German beauty queen, actress, model, and influencer. She won Miss Universe 2015, becoming the third Filipina to take the crown. Her victory was unforgettable due to Steve Harvey’s announcement mistake, making it one of the most talked-about pageant moments.
Before Miss Universe, Pia was a child actress and model in the Philippines. After her reign, she became a fashion icon, an advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness, and a bestselling author of “Queen of the Universe.” Pia married entrepreneur Jeremy Jauncey in 2023.
