World-renowned Filipino fashion designer Michael Cinco was awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the Orion Star Awards held during the 78th Cannes Film Festival in France.
Cinco, celebrated globally for his extravagant couture creations, took to social media to express his gratitude, saying he felt “deeply honored to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Orion Star Awards during the 78th Cannes Film Festival.” He extended special thanks to Iris Rodriguez, founder of the Orion Star Awards, adding: “My heartfelt thanks to the founder Iris Rodriguez… for this meaningful recognition.

The Orion Star Awards is an independent recognition event that runs alongside the Cannes Film Festival, spotlighting excellence across fashion, philanthropy, arts, and global impact.
Cinco joins a distinguished list of honorees who were celebrated this year for their extraordinary contributions to their respective fields. The ceremony was also graced by international figures and featured a glamorous fashion showcase, with Miss Universe Continental Queens wearing couture designs by Giannina Azar.
While not officially part of the Cannes Film Festival, the Orion Star Awards has emerged as a platform to honor individuals who inspire through creativity, advocacy, and achievement—qualities Michael Cinco has long exemplified in the world of fashion.
