Tatler ASIA'S MOST STYLISH

Every year, Tatler Philippines pays tribute to some of the country’s best dressed. Espousing the virtues of their own unique styles, these exemplary men and women are staples in society events; they hold everyone in anticipation at what they will wear and are trendsetters by their own right. Though they come from a variety of backgrounds, they manage to share a few things in common: confidence and creativity. They carry these traits well and manage to catch the eye of almost everyone they come across. Not one to follow fads, each of Asia’s Most Stylish has curated his or her own look that is theirs to own. This month, Tatler Philippines explores their unique sartorial choices—from the relaxed to the classic, to the feminine and gender-bending—that make them truly stand out

Superstar actress and fashion icon Anne Curtis’ journey through style is widely followed by an adoring international audience—here’s how she’s managed to keep things interesting by staying versatile

With her sweet smile and kind eyes, Anne Curtis has been wooing audiences worldwide for the past two decades. In that time, the Filipino-Australian multihyphenate has appeared in film and on TV, released three studio albums, and has gained the recognition of international brands. She’s also been invited to the most important fashion shows and events around the world, and has appeared on the cover of countless magazines. This month, she graces ours as an honouree of this year’s Tatler’s Asia’s Most Stylish list.

Curtis grew up in the spotlight—her first on-screen role was in 1997 at the tender age of 12, when she appeared in the Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes fantasy film Magic Kingdom—so it is natural that she is no stranger to the fashion industry. She was a mainstay on the cover of women’s and fitness magazines early in he career, posing boldly in daring bikinis and audacious outfits. Who can forget that mesmerising Marc Nicdao photo, where Curtis poses coyly on a Paris balcony, dress slipped off her shoulders, eyes smouldering at the camera.
