In July last year,  Alex wore a custom Sampaguita-inspired hair tie designed by Nike as a tribute to the national flower of the Philippines. As Eala continues to represent the Philippines, she shows that the small details in her fashion go beyond aesthetics, serving as subtle yet meaningful tributes to her heritage and journey. </p><div><br/></div><p>Read more fashion stories on Metro.Style</p>
