Kris Bernal directly responded to bashers accusing her of copying Heart Evangelista and being envious of the Kapuso Global Fashion Icon’s luxurious lifestyle.

“I don’t know why. Because if I were really ‘feeling Heart Evangelista,’ then I should also have her Bulgari pieces and all her jewelry. But I don’t,” Kris said during her guest appearance on the vodcast Your Honor.

She added that she doesn’t own any of Heart’s collection of Birkin bags either.

“Am I copying in a way? Because I don’t understand what they mean by that,” she said, firmly denying that she imitates Heart’s fashion sense.

According to Kris, they might simply share the same taste for luxury brands, but that doesn’t mean she’s trying to be like Heart.

“Honestly, I’ll say it — Heart is my idol,” she admitted.

Kris also acknowledged that she sometimes feels a bit of envy when she sees influencers with luxury items. However, she agrees with host Chariz Solomon that God always shows people what truly brings them joy.

“On social media, you see a lot. It’s all about who can flex better, right? But sometimes you realize, ‘I’m happy, so it’s okay if I don’t experience that,’” she shared.

For Kris, people who can afford luxury brands should serve as inspiration.

“It’s not envy. It’s more like, ‘They can afford it — maybe I can too in the future. What can I do to make that possible?’” she explained.
