Tatler Philippines Magazine - June 2023

In this issue

Tatler enters the second half of 2023 with stories that spotlight individuals who are unprecedentedly breaking boundaries. Now on its 8th edition, the annual Gen.T list highlights the “Leaders of Tomorrow” who move forward to the beat of their own drums and aims to inspire future generations.

Starring on this month’s cover is Miss Universe 2022, R’Bonney Gabriel—the first Fil-Am to be crowned Miss USA and Miss Universe. In addition to her beauty, she is also an advocate for diversity, inclusivity and sustainable fashion. And being the oldest winner (she was 28 when she won, the age limit in Miss Universe), she hopes that her time as Miss Universe will inspire women not to feel restricted by their age. For this epic shoot in NYC, we had to call in the big guns, such as noted photographer Nigel Barker.
