<p>Former Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach is adding another feather to her cap as she will be receiving the Global Fashion Influencer of the Year Award in Dubai.</p><p>Pia is one of the honorees at this year&#x27;s EMIGALA Awards which will take place on April 27 and 28 at the Festival Bay in Dubai Festival City Mall.</p><p>According to its YouTube channel, the EMIGALA is &quot;a star-studded Fashion &amp; Beauty Awards Ceremony held in Dubai, and aims at honoring various members and contributors to the fashion and beauty industries, both regionally and globally.</p><p>&quot;The EMIGALA focuses on highlighting the different lifestyles and cultures present in different parts of the globe and how they are reflected and interpreted in the world of fashion and beauty.&quot;</p><p>In 2023, Pia attended both the Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks for the first time.</p><p>&quot;I&#x27;ve done New York Fashion Week before. When you are Miss Universe they usually put you in fashion week and it is usually the one in New York. I did a few [shows] in New York but I never experienced the ones in Europe like Milan or Paris,&quot; she said in a previous interview with CNN Philippines.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6BC6BSJ-z4/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A16126214.100000024%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="956" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Honestly the first few shows, I was a little nervous. I&#x27;ve done this before but it&#x27;s been a while so I was just like getting into the groove of things,&quot; she recalled about her experience.</p><p>Pia revealed that her schedule for Paris Fashion Week was as busy as when she was in Milan.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/10/10/jeremy-jauncey-proud-of-pia-wurtzbach-for-breaking-into-the-international-fashion-scene-1537"><strong>READ:Jeremy Jauncey proud of Pia Wurtzbach for breaking into the international fashion scene</strong></a></div><p>&quot;They are both very busy I would say. I can&#x27;t really compare. Both were really an amazing experience. Beautiful locations, Milan and Paris, they&#x27;re both iconic and every corner looks like a postcard. It was just really nice to be there and to experience fashion in the fashion capitals of the world,&quot; she stated.</p><p>Pia&#x27;s husband, Jeremy Jauncey, took to social media to pen a message for her as the latter fulfilled her dream of breaking into the international fashion scene.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C5-8BDQLKj8/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A16126222%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1055" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Every story starts somewhere. A chance encounter, a lucky break, a half open door….. I’ve always found the best stories have one thing in common - that person with a passionate, relentless, undefeatable drive to achieve. That ability to push against the odds, to take a risk when others tell them no and to chase a dream no matter how far away it seems,” Jeremy wrote last year.</p><p>He went on: &quot;Quietly, under the radar, you grinded. And grinded. And grinded. And despite even as early as this year being told you’d never make it to fashion weeks and your best years were behind you, you did. And you delivered. To a level even we didn’t hope for in our wildest dreams.&quot; </p>
