These Filipinas Made It To 2025's 100 Most Beautiful Faces Around The World

TC Candler and The Independent Critics have just unveiled their 100 Most Beautiful Faces of 2025, a celebration of beauty that goes far beyond looks. Running for more than three decades, the list highlights actresses, models, and artists from around the world whose charm, charisma, and style truly stand out.

According to TC Candler, "Aesthetic perfection is only one of the criteria. Grace, elegance, originality, hope… they are all embodied in a gorgeous face." The list is not a popularity contest, nor is it about fame or social media clout—it's about celebrating faces that inspire and define beauty in its many forms.

This year, 10 Filipinas made the cut. Here's a closer look at who made it to TC Candler's list.

Andrea Brillantes leads the Filipinas again, landing 4th after topping the list in 2024. She's keeping busy with Rein Entertainment's Laya (slated for 2026) and being named the Tanduay Calendar Girl 2026. She was also Cosmopolitan Philippines' November cover star!

Alexa Ilacad made her debut on the list! She wowed audiences on Your Face Sounds Familiar and stepped into hosting duties for Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition and Celebrity Collab 2.0, earning her "Gen Z Bestie ni Kuya" status.

A Hall of Famer and 11-year list veteran, Liza Soberano continues to captivate fans worldwide. In 2025, she released her single "Red Ferrari," joined DreamWorks' Forgotten Island, and continued her animal rescue efforts in LA.

Making her first appearance on the list is Hyacinth Callado, who stands out with her elegance and talent. She starred in Bad Genius: The Series and Avenues of the Diamond, and even won Best Drama Series Actress at the 2025 Platinum Stallion Awards for her lead role as Elyse in Chasing in the Wild.

Janine Gutierrez marks her 5th year on the list. She starred in Lavender Fields, won Best Actress for Dirty Linen, and was Cosmopolitan Philippines' Women of Influence 2025 headliner.

Gehlee represents Pinays in K-pop with her stage presence and talent. In 2025, the proud Leo toured with UNIS and helped the group secure their first music show win for "Swicy."

Kai Montinola is a fresh face making her mark in music and film. She launched her debut EP Kaileidoscope and is part the Netflix series Roja.

Kim Chiu makes her debut on the list this year, which is all the more special since she's also celebrating 20 years in showbiz. She was the 2025 Tanduay Calendar Girl and received the Loyalty Award at Star Magical Christmas 2025.

Jasmine Dudley-Scales is a newcomer recognized for her charm and determination. After transitioning from a corporate career, she focused on building her showbiz path post-PBB, showing steady growth and resilience.

Rounding out the list is BINI's Aiah, who's making her second appearance in the Top 100. She joyfully performed at the sold-out Biniverse World Tour 2025 and led typhoon relief efforts through her "Aiahdvocacy" initiative.

Globally, the No. 1 spot went to Rosé of BLACKPINK, marking her seventh appearance on the list. Meanwhile, Kyler Chua of the Filipino boy group HORI7ON made the 100 Most Handsome Faces of 2025, landing 30th place in his second appearance.
