Tatler Philippines unveiled its Tatler Most Stylish 2026 honourees at a presentation in Makati, bringing together 15 personalities from fashion, entertainment, media and the creative industries.
Held on September 11 at the newly renovated Greenbelt 2 in Ayala Centre, the event marked a new chapter for the list, which was previously known as Asia’s Most Stylish. It also coincided with Tatler Philippines’ 25th anniversary.
This year’s Philippine honourees are Bea Alonzo-Co, Michael Concepcion, Jae de Veyra Pickrell, Kylie Verzosa, Niana Guerrero, Tweetie de Leon Gonzalez, Santino Rosales, Tati Miranda Fortuna, Tessa Alindogan, Angie Mead King, Joey Mead King, Rosanna Ocampo, Sabina Gonzalez, Alden Richards and Tim Yap.
Rather than focusing solely on clothing, the new Tatler Most Stylish concept places greater emphasis on personal expression, individuality and the way people use style to reflect their identity. Across Tatler Asia’s eight markets, the 2026 edition features different themes reflecting each region’s creative and cultural character.
For the Philippines, the theme is “Red-Carpet Ready”, marking the country’s celebration of fashion, personality and self-expression as part of the magazine’s silver anniversary.
Hosted by Anne Gauthier, the presentation brought several of the honourees to the stage to discuss their approaches to personal style.
Bea Alonzo-Co spoke about how her style has changed as she has become more confident in understanding herself. Her comments reflected the broader idea behind the list: that personal style can evolve with different stages of life while remaining individual.
Jae de Veyra Pickrell, meanwhile, described her willingness to be overdressed, embracing fashion without worrying about whether an outfit follows conventional expectations. Niana Guerrero discussed a more refined direction for her evolving style, influenced in part by her experiences travelling and seeing different parts of the world.
Sustainability also featured in the discussion. Tati Miranda Fortuna said she prefers natural-fibre fabrics and considers circularity and sustainability important when choosing what to wear. Tessa Alindogan drew connections between fashion and her interest in interior design, viewing both as forms of creativity and self-expression.
The presentation also highlighted the wider significance of the relaunch. Tatler Asia says the move from Asia’s Most Stylish to Tatler Most Stylish represents a shift away from conventional best-dressed lists towards a focus on cultural identity, personal conviction and the distinctive ways Asian figures express themselves through style.
The evening continued with food and drinks prepared by Shangri-La The Fort, while Greenbelt stores remained open for guests. The event was co-presented by Ayala Malls and Greenbelt, whose partnership also reflected the location’s role as a destination for international luxury brands and Filipino fashion.
With 15 honourees representing different generations and creative fields, Tatler Most Stylish 2026 offers a snapshot of contemporary Filipino style while marking Tatler Philippines’ 25th year. The new edition places individuality at the centre, presenting style not simply as what people wear, but as an extension of personality and identity.
