Known as one of the new generation’s It Girls, Claudia Barretto has been wowing netizens with her recent Instagram photos, with netizens quick to allude her beauty to her Barretto lineage. The 24-year-old has been making a name for herself in the music industry—her discography including a song with rapper Curtismith and collab with pop rock band One Republic.
Her style evolves around a clean girl aesthetic, often seen donning minimalist fashion pieces and beauty looks. Despite her *quiet* elegance, Claudia never fails to steal the attention of onlookers—with others even likening her to her aunt Gretchen Barretto.

Netizens Liken Claudia Barretto To Gretchen Barretto
“Ang ganda mo, girl. Ikaw lang ang nagmana kay Gretchen ng mala-Dyosa na kagandahan,” one netizen wrote. Further, someone also pointed out that beauty runs in the blood—as Claudia’s sisters are nothing short of stunning, too!
Aside from bearing an uncanny resemblance to her aunt, Claudia also shares Gretchen's love for music, albeit this fact embroiled them in a ~messy~ misunderstanding last 2017. It all stemmed when Claudia was compared with Gretchen at the launch of her debut single. The budding singer replied, “I think we’re very different naman, like our songs and our voice. I think it’s different."
She added, "I don’t mind. I mean, it’s nice to know that someone else actually sings..."
Gretchen took offense at the words "someone else" and called her niece an "ungrateful child", claiming that she provided financial support for her during her younger years.
Claudia stayed cool and kept mum about it, though, with some netizens coming to her rescue about the issue. "I just watched the interview. Hopefully, you all see her facial reaction when the reporter said [something] about her Tita Gretchen. She [smiled], nag-light up pa and [I] saw the happiness in her eyes. I don't see the intention to offend her Tita. Let's spread love and positivity rather than mag-add ng comment na makaka-hurt sa family nila," wrote one fan.
