Fifteen personalities take their place on the newly renamed list, marking a new chapter for Tatler Most Stylish and a milestone year for Tatler Philippines
There are many ways to define style, but the most interesting ones tend to have little to do with following the rules.
On September 11, that idea came to life at the newly renovated Greenbelt 2 in Ayala Centre, Makati, where Tatler Philippines gathered the Tatler Most Stylish 2026 honourees for an evening of fashion, personality and celebration.
Formerly known as Asia’s Most Stylish, the list enters a new chapter this year, with 15 personalities from fashion, entertainment, media and the creative industries taking their place on the Philippine selection. 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 each bring their own interpretation of what it means to have style, whether through clothes, personality or simply knowing what feels right.

The evening began with remarks from Tatler Philippines editor-in-chief Anton San Diego, who reflected on the significance of the new name and the changing nature of the list, as well as the occasion’s particular resonance for Tatler Philippines, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Jorelle Balitbit, marketing cluster lead for Makati Ayala Malls, also welcomed guests to the newly renovated Greenbelt 2, marking the partnership between Ayala Malls, Greenbelt and Tatler for the evening.

Hosted by Anne Gauthier, the presentation brought 10 of the honourees to the stage, where the conversation naturally turned to the more personal side of getting dressed. For Bea Alonzo-Co, style has evolved as she has grown more certain of herself. “I feel like these days I know myself better,” she shared, describing style as something that remains distinctly your own even as you move through different chapters of life.
That confidence also means knowing when to ignore convention. Jae de Veyra Pickrell puts it rather simply: “I don't mind being absolutely overdressed for something.” It is an attitude that feels particularly apt for a list that has always been less about prescribing what stylish people should wear and more about recognising those who make a look feel entirely their own.
For Niana Guerrero, the next chapter of her style is one of greater refinement and intention, with travelling and seeing the world informing what comes next. Tati Miranda Fortuna, meanwhile, approaches fashion with a more considered eye. “I choose to wear fabric that's from natural fibre. Circularity and sustainability in fashion are very important for me,” she said.
Elsewhere, Tessa Alindogan sees a natural connection between fashion and her passion in interior design, treating both as outlets for creativity and self-expression.

The occasion also marked a milestone for Tatler Philippines, now in its 25th year. As the magazine celebrates a quarter-century of chronicling the people, ideas and personalities shaping the country, Tatler Most Stylish offers its own snapshot of the moment: a group of individuals whose presence and personal point of view have made them impossible to overlook.
The night continued over food and drinks by Shangri-La The Fort, with Greenbelt’s stores remaining open until 10pm for guests who wanted to continue browsing after the presentation. The weekend brought another reason to return, with Luxe Shopping Weekend taking place at Greenbelt 3 on 12 and 13 September, from 3pm to 6pm, with canapés, wine and substantial discounts from participating stores.
The celebration was co-presented by Ayala Malls and Greenbelt, an apt partnership for a list dedicated to fashion and style. The Ayala Malls complex is home to some of the world’s leading luxury fashion houses, while the group has long supported the development and appreciation of Filipino fashion and style.
A new name, 15 distinctive personalities and another chapter in the story of Tatler Most Stylish. For a list devoted to personal style, perhaps the most fitting thing about the evening was that there was no single way to wear it.
25 years. And the story continues.
