A strong Filipino presence marked the 2025 edition of TC Candler and The Independent Critics’ annual list, with ten Filipinas securing spots among the world’s most recognized faces. The showing placed the Philippines among the most represented countries in this year’s rankings, reflecting sustained global attention on Filipino talent and pop culture.
At the forefront of the group was actress Andrea Brillantes, widely known as Blythe, who reached fourth place overall—putting her within the list’s global top five. Her placement was the highest among Filipinas included in this year’s selection.
Following Brillantes was actress and singer Alexa Ilacad at fifth place, while Liza Soberano ranked sixth. Actress Hyacinth Callado landed at seventh, with Janine Gutierrez close behind at eighth.
Completing the Filipino lineup were Gehlee at ninth and Kai Montinola at tenth, giving the Philippines a continuous presence within the list’s top ten segment. Kim Chiu placed eleventh, while Jasmine Helen Dudley Scales followed at twelfth. BINI member Aiah rounded out the group at thirteenth.
The annual “100 Most Beautiful Faces” list is curated by TC Candler and The Independent Critics and is shaped through a combination of public nominations and voting from its international community, rather than commercial metrics or official endorsements.
