Hot List
In every generation, there are women who capture the imagination and catch the attention of a country because of their beauty, elegance and charm. As the editor-in-chief of this magazine for 20 years, I have been privileged to meet such women who, rightfully, are daubed “It” Girls. The tag line was first used in the early 20th century and were given to women belonging to upper British society who had appeal, allure and are especially engaging. Some of the “It” Girls of years past are Claudia Bermudez, Ina Ayala, Samantha Eduque, Kit Zobel, Bea Valdes, Mandy de la Rama-Santos, Celine Lopez and Wendy Puyat.
The next incarnation of that list pushed it further by achieving celebrity status and even having TV shows aptly named “It” Girls. The list included Georgina Wilson, Solenn Heusaff, Liz Uy, Belle Daza and Anne Curtis.
Today’s five ladies possess everything their predecessors were admired for. Because of the changing times, these women are global thinkers who manifest a greater level of empowerment. Here is our 2021 list.
