15 Filipino Celebrities Who Appeared on Covers of International Magazines
It's always a treat to see our favorite celebrities on magazine covers. Groomed, dressed, and presented in a light seemingly larger than life, their photos also indicate the hottest trends of the month, from the most popular names in showbiz to the latest fashion collections in the country. Of course, with the stream of talent that we have, it won't surprise you to hear that some of our brightest stars have gone beyond the folds of Philippine magazines, and have successfully traversed the front pages of other global titles as well. Here are 15 Filipino celebrities who've graced the covers of international magazines.
Pia Wurtzbach, Megan Young, Kylie Verzosa, Angelia Ong
Four crowned beauty queens on one cover? In celebration of their 10th anniversary, Harper's Bazaar Vietnam enlisted Filipino pageant greats Pia Wurtzbach (Miss Universe 2015), Megan Young (Miss World 2013), Kylie Verzosa (Miss International 2016), and Angelia Ong (Miss Earth 2015) to appear on one of their multiple covers for July 2021.

Janine Gutierrez
London-based travel magazine Suitcase got actress Janine Gutierrez to grace the cover of their June 2015 Water Issue.
