Gretchen Barretto flaunted her ageless beauty in a recent “fitspiration” photo, sending not only fans but also fellow celebrities Heart Evangelista, Anne Curtis and Bea Alonzo gushing.
Barretto looked radiant in a casual white tank top paired with denim shorts, with her hair in a sleek bun, as seen on makeup artist Mark Kingson Qua’s Instagram page last Saturday, Sept. 28.
“So nice to see you again,” Qua captioned his post. “Fitspiration ba kamo?”

Evangelista then took to the comments section to compliment Barretto, saying the latter’s photo is “a reminder — she is the queen.”
Curtis and Alonzo likewise showered Barretto with praises, alongside other celebrities Iza Calazado, Phoemela Baranda, Nikki Valdez and Ciara Sotto.

In a separate post, Qua also shared the behind-the-scenes of his photo shoot with Barretto, showing the actress trying out clothes and shoes.
“Getting ready with the queen,” he said.
Barretto has been rarely seen on social media since she has no official accounts of her own.
“I like the more peaceful Gretchen now; the older, the more mature, the more confident—I’m more sure of myself,” she said in a January 2024 interview. “I like it, and there’s nothing wrong with appreciating peace.”
The socialite added that giving up social media led her to know more about freedom and the sincerity people feel for her.
“I have the freedom to do what I want to do with all sincerity. I don’t do things out of wanting to show people, and I connect with people more because I feel their sincerity,” she remarked.
