You may know Sofia Andres for her roles in films such as She’s Dating the Gangster or Relaks, It’s Just Pag-Ibig. But with her sultry eyes and graceful physique, Andres was born to be a style icon.

With a style as bright as her cheerful personality, the fashionable actress is known to don plenty of colours. “[Colours] make me and the people around me super happy, so it’s a win-win,” she beams. A versatile dresser, Andres is never afraid to take a risk in her wardrobe and describes her personal style as one that spans from minimalist to funky to classic. However, three timeless fashion houses regularly catch her attention: “Valentino, Fendi, Dior,” she proclaims, professing her adoration for their “palettes and design.”

Be it as a stunning model, a flourishing actress, or an all-around style maven, the young multi-hyphenate is certainly no stranger to the public eye. Yet, Andres attests that her affinity for fashion and style has nothing to do with her persona in front of the camera, and all to do with self-love. “[Expressing myself through fashion is like] expressing love to myself,” she reflects. “I’m dressing up for myself to make me feel confident and free.”
