Alexandra Rocha Araneta

Alexandra Rocha Araneta embodies elegance and versatility, inspiring her two daughters to embrace timeless style and pursue diverse passions. Her wardrobe is a vibrant canvas of cheerful colours and rich textures, seamlessly mixed with elements of Filipino tradition. She exudes grace and practicality whether she’s attending a high-profile event, hosting a gala, doing mom things or running her artisan dessert business, Pinkerton Ice Cream.

With over a decade of experience in entertainment, Alexandra has had a varied career that made notable contributions to the scene, with memorable roles in films such as Barangay 143 (2018) and Heneral Luna (2015). Her passion for cooking is equally noteworthy; she took up culinary arts at Enderun College and shared her love for food through newspaper columns. She eventually landed her dream job of hosting a TV show, Something To Chew On, where she combined her passions for food and travel to bring a unique flavour to the screen.

Like her career, Alexandra’s fashion sense is ever-evolving. Renowned designer Pepito Albert created her wedding dress when she wed Luis Marcos Araneta. She has also adopted contemporary Filipiniana style through the Boheme Collection of Patis Pamintuan Tesoro. In 2019, she launched a signature collection for Herman and Co clothing, a heritage brand that features Philippine-made artisanal goods and textiles (she wore one of its pieces for Asia’s Most Stylish 2024). Her dress choices show not just her cosmopolitan style, but also her dedication to embracing personal identities and championing local with grace and enthusiasm.
