Breea Yamat blends beauty, heritage, and a healer’s heart.

BREEA YAMAT

The Crown, the Calling, and the Cultural Fire Within

She didn’t just walk onto the stage—she arrived with legacy in her bones and fire in her stride.

When Breea Yamat was crowned Miss Hawaii USA 2024, it wasn’t merely a personal victory—it was a cultural moment. Born of Mexican and Filipina roots and raised in the heart of Oahu, Breea stepped into the spotlight not to conform, but to represent. With every poised turn and radiant smile, she carried the stories of Lahaina, the strength of her heritage, and the quiet conviction of a woman who knows exactly who she is—and why that matters.

Featured Model | New YOrk Fashion Week 2025

Model, Host, Catalyst. Breea Yamat

When Breea Yamat took the stage at EC Entertainment + Media’s NYFW Season 1, she didn’t just walk—she commanded. Representing a fusion of Filipina and Mexican heritage, the Miss Hawaii USA 2024 titleholder delivered a performance that was both visually arresting and emotionally resonant. Whether draped in the opulence of Almodal, the cultural textures of Carl Andrada, or the sculptural elegance of KO Los Angeles by Kiel Ortega, Breea brought each designer’s vision to life with a presence that transcended fashion—it told a story.

But her impact didn’t end at the runway’s edge.

Offstage, Breea stepped into a different spotlight—as host of ECC’s Author’s Spotlight, where she led live interviews with featured authors in front of a captivated audience. With poise, empathy, and a natural gift for connection, she bridged the worlds of fashion and literature, proving that her voice is as powerful as her walk.

What sets Breea apart isn’t just her crown or her camera-ready beauty—it’s her ability to elevate every space she enters. From backstage encouragements to fellow models, to her thoughtful presence during rehearsals, she embodies ECC’s mission of representation, resilience, and cultural pride. She’s not just a featured model—she’s a catalyst, a mentor, and a movement.

“For Breea Yamat, the runway and the mic aren’t separate stages—they’re one powerful platform. And she’s just getting started.”

    NEW YORK FASHION WEEK Season 1

    At NYFW Season 1, Bree Yamat didn’t just walk — she owned the runway. Draped in designs by Almodal, Skinthetics NY, Carl Andrada, Simoun Andres, Edwin Uy, K O Los Angeles Kiel Ortega, and Chona Bacaoco, Bree moved like each piece was written into her story. Every look became a new chapter, and every step carried a kind of quiet power that couldn’t be taught — only lived.

    There was no forced performance, no overdone theatrics. Just Bree — present, grounded, and magnetic. Backstage, she was all warmth and humility, lifting up everyone around her, from first-time designers to seasoned creatives. She brought the same energy in front of the camera: grace with edge, elegance with attitude.

    What sets Breea apart isn’t just how she wears a gown — it’s how she makes it matter. She doesn’t perform fashion. She channels it. She becomes it. And in doing so, she gave NYFW a moment worth remembering — raw, real, and unapologetically her.

    This isn't just Fashion, it's a future made in fabric.

    Breea Yamat:

    The Crown, the Calling, and the Cultural Fire Within

    In a world where beauty pageants are often reduced to glitter and gowns, Breea Yamat redefines the narrative. The reigning Miss Hawaii USA 2024 is more than a titleholder—she is a storyteller, a healer in training, and a proud daughter of Mexican and Filipina heritage, carrying the spirit of Lahaina with every step she takes.

    At 27, Breea’s journey to the national stage was not one of overnight acclaim but of quiet resilience. After years of competing, she claimed her crown at the Royal Hawaii Center Theater, becoming a beacon of multicultural pride and purpose. Her now-iconic phrase—“Mexican spice mixed with Filipina fire”—isn’t just a catchy caption; it’s a declaration of identity in a world that too often asks women to dilute their roots.

Her now-iconic phrase—“Mexican spice mixed with Filipina fire”—isn’t just a catchy caption; it’s a declaration of identity in a world that too often asks women to dilute their roots.

    But Breea’s brilliance extends far beyond the pageant stage. A medical assistant with a degree in biology, she is pursuing a career as a Physician Assistant, with dreams of opening a community health clinic in her hometown. Her advocacy is deeply personal—shaped by the Lahaina wildfires and the systemic gaps in healthcare access for under-resourced communities. Whether she’s leading student workshops on goal-setting or delivering care packages to displaced families, Breea’s reign has been defined by service, not spectacle.

    Her performance at Miss USA 2024—where she placed in the Top 10—was a masterclass in grace under pressure. From her beaded purple evening gown to her poised interview responses, she embodied the aloha spirit with a modern edge. “Every challenge and triumph has led me to this moment,” she shared on social media, “and I’m proud to wear Hawaii on my chest and in my heart.

    As she transitions from queen to mentor, Breea is already shaping the next generation of changemakers. Her story is not just about crowns and cameras—it’s about cultural pride, community healing, and the quiet power of showing up fully as yourself.

    In the ever-evolving landscape of fashion, media, and representation, Breea Yamat is not just a face to watch—she’s a force to follow.
