There's just no stopping Alex Eala! After her groundbreaking debut at Wimbledon and a quick visit back home in the Philippines, the tennis star claims her WTA (Women's Tennis Association) 500 championship at the Mubadala DC Open. That makes the 21-year-old the first-ever Filipina to have a WTA Singles title and elevates her world ranking to 20th, the highest of any Filipino player in history.

In her historic run at the DC Open, Alex slayed a slew of legends to reach her trophy. She faced off against the likes of defending champion Leylah Fernandez, Naomi Osaka, and Jessica Pegula, the latter being her final opponent.

To relish her win, Alex posed for a photoshoot on the DC grounds, trading her usual Nike sneakers for something a bit more dainty. A key component of her victory OOTD was a pair of heels that you can shop for less than P2400 (and for only P700 if you can cop them while they're on sale!)

With her sculptural golden trophy by her side, Alex was a complete vision a day after the Open. As the sunset illuminated her, she donned a backless yellow frock and tied back her tresses. The highlight of the whole photoshoot was definitely the athlete's glowing complexion. That's a winner right there!


But in case you were wondering, the exact pair of shoes she donned was from Stradivarius. Her stilettos that had a simple criss-cross design and a modest 8-cm heel. As Stradivarius originates from Spain, one can assume that Alex purchased her heels during her training days at the Rafa Nadal Academy.


You can easily add the exact footwear Alex wears to your cart through the official website now! The fuss-free pair retails for P2395, but as of the time of writing, it's on sale for only P695. So run, don't walk!
