| UNIQLO Bra Top : Seamless Comfort, Built-in Support |
The UNIQLO Flagship Store in Glorietta turned into a space filled with conversation, laughter, and shared stories last October 8, 2025, as UNIQLO introduced Alexa Ilacad as the newest Local Celebrity Partner for its Bra Top Collection.

Instead of a formal launch, the event felt more like a heartfelt gathering led by Bianca Gonzalez-Intal, with celebrity stylist Kat Cruz-Villanueva and Alexa talking about confidence, comfort, and the kind of support women give and receive every day.

I came dressed in my Ribbed Cropped Bra Top, styled to the theme of UNIQLO 2025 Fall/Winter Collection, just like the other guests. It’s one of those pieces that makes dressing up feel easy -- simple, flattering, and quietly confident.
More Than Just a Bra Top
What made the afternoon stand out was how honest the conversation was. Alexa opened up about growing up in front of the camera and learning to find confidence beyond comparisons.
Especially growing up in front of the camera as a former child actress, I was very conscious about my looks. People tend to compare and pit you against your peers and sometimes you can’t help but do the same. It’s an ongoing battle but time gives you strength and wisdom to handle things better.

Kat shared her own story about finding her footing in the industry and how staying true to herself helped her grow.
When I was starting, I also had my struggles in finding my space in this industry. My approach is to put in the effort and let my work speak for itself. When you’ve given your all, learned from your mistakes, you can be confident. When you know who you are, you can express yourself.

The entire exchange, guided by Bianca, felt real, like listening to women you admire talk about growth and grace in a way that hits close to home.

Comfort That Moves With You
Alexa also shared why UNIQLO’s Bra Tops have become her go-to.
With our hectic schedule, we have to move fast so it does help when you have to wear something that’s easy to put on. Now, if this clothing also makes you feel good and not just look good then that’s a huge difference, and I have experienced this with UNIQLO Bra Top. When I put it on, I get to just focus on my work because I know my body is secure and I feel comfortable.

Kat added how practical and versatile the pieces are, whether for everyday wear or styling work.
When I am wearing it, I don’t calculate my moves. I feel free. It’s also very easy to mix and match. So, when I have some styling gigs, I always include the Bra Tops because they look good and models love them.
