Top 10 It Girls

Beauty. Brains. Breeding. Bucks. Billboards. The 5 Bs sum up the new generation of media-savvy, super creative, multi-hyphenated trendsetters who dominate not just print and web, but are taking over TV screens and the slew of billboards scattered all over the metro. Whether they're playing DJ at a local hotspot, acting in an indie art film, or jetting off to an exotic European town for a just-for-fun photo shoot, It Girls possess a brand of je ne sais quoi that propel them to capture everyone's attention.

High profile party girls and society scions like YStyle editor Celine Lopez and real estate heiress Divine Lee headlined the scene in previous years, gracing fashion shows, magazine covers, and lifestyle pages; also acting as muses to up and coming photographers and fashion designers. These days, new generation It Girls have evolved into women with names that resound in both sosyal and showbiz circles, women who are self-aware enough to turn themselves into actual "brands," and who know how to tease their audience, leaving everyone wanting more, more, and more.


10. Laureen Uy

Not even out of college yet, Laureen Uy has taken a liking to fashion early on, following the footsteps of equally fashion-forward siblings Liz Uy and Vince Uy (Preview magazine's creative director). This University of Asia and the Pacific co-ed has built up her impressive portfolio by styling for several fashion rags, and eventually putting up her own online store, Stylebreak, which now has a beautifully designed showroom in Eastwood City. How this web-savvy fashion fiend divides her time between school, styling gigs, and keeping her fashion blog Break My Style consistently updated is a wonder—but it's probably her multi-tasking skills and talent for putting together experimental and eclectic looks that has gotten her so far in fashion, in such a short span of time. Her style outlook is a breath of fresh air, and her passion for what she does can only promise even better things to come from this talented twenty-something.

9. Isabelle Daza

Although it's virtually impossible to mention Isabelle Daza without mentioning her iconic mom (1969 Miss Universe Gloria Diaz) and her equally stunning cousin (Georgina Wilson), she has certainly broken out of that mold and proven her worth as one of today's most well-known It Girls. With billboards for clothing brand Human launching her into the public eye, this DLSU early childhood education grad is known in fashion for her too-cool-to-care style that perfectly encapsulates her love for rock festival Coachella and her free-spirited sports-loving lifestyle (she plays football, basketball, and tennis). Though spotted in the hottest clubs in the sexiest threads with fellow party-going It Girls, Isabelle is also often seen in comfy kicks, messy ponytails, and a clean, fresh face—something that adds to her gorgeous girl-next-door allure.
