When Mimiyuuuh first landed on Preview's cover in 2019, she was primarily known as a viral sensation for her quirky antics and internet skits. Six or so years later, our girl has retained her wit and candor while evolving into a full-blown sartorial aficionado.
As her empire expanded, so did her wardrobe—within the Preview Best Dressed alum's collection are pieces that reflect her fashion know-how and love for all things luxe. Mimi has become well-traveled since her career took off, and seeing the expanse of the world meant appreciating different styles and shopping along the way. Just a gander at her collection is enough to make any fashionista salivate.

Inside Mimiyuuuh's Bottega Veneta Mini Sardine
Mimi went on quite a world tour to acquire her Sardine. Rendered in a deep, burgundy-esque shade, her little purse was a purchase she thought through as she hopped from one locale to the next. She first laid eyes on it in Italy (the birthplace of Bottega Veneta), but still wasn't sure if it was worth adding to her roster. It was only when she landed in Iceland did she realize that it was something she absolutely required. "Kailangan ko sya. I need to have it," she recalls feeling.
Thankfully, the exact piece was practically waiting for her in Switzerland when she finally swiped her card. Now, she considers it a go-to mini bag for evening events or formal affairs. With its chic Barolo colorway, it simultaneously offers itself as a versatile companion and a pop of color.

The Exact Items Revealed by Mimiyuuuh
Bottega Veneta Mini Sardine
The Sardine first made splash during Bottega Veneta's F/W 2022 show. Characterized by a horizontal metallic handle shaped after—you guessed it—a sardine, the purse also carries on the brand's signature intrecciato weaves. Mimi admits that the mini iteration functions well as an accessory, mainly because only the barest essentials can fit in it. "Tiis ganda for the sake of fashion," she puts it.

Bottega Veneta Andiamo Tri-Fold Wallet
Still on a BV kick, Mimi's everyday wallet is also decked out in intrecciato, except this one is in a pastel Lotus hue. The piece has multiple compartments and spaces for her cards, cash, and IDs, plus it's also quite the looker with its design. The buckle detail makes it part of the brand's Andiamo line, which was crafted for girls on the go like Mimi (Andiamo literally translates to "Let's go!" in Italian, FYI!)

Apple AirPods
Of course, everyone needs a reliable set of headphones, Mimi included. She attests that she can never, ever leave home without her AirPods, which fit neatly into her Sardine.

Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter, MAC Cosmetics Lipstick, BLK Cosmetics Serum Stick
When asked, "Ano'ng combo mo?" Mimi readily answers her trio of makeup products that keep her lips looking fresh. She first applies on a moisturizing butter from Dior Addict infused with a peptide and ceramide duo. Once the base layer is complete, she swipes on a silky matte lippie from MAC Cosmetics in an earthy taupe shade. Punctuating her pout is a dab of high shine serum from BLK Cosmetics, which is a lip gloss, lipstick, and serum all in one. Definitely taking notes!
