25 Alluring Women

Manila, Philippines - Women, like love, make the world go round.

Their presence gives one a calming assurance that everything will be all right. Their existence inspires high hopes; and proves that dreams are within reach — for them, and for those they inspire.

In celebration of The STAR’s 25th anniversary, we give honor again to the Women of Allure, an exclusive lineup of beautiful and accomplished women we started in 2006. Choosing 25 women among the more than 100 we have featured was a hairsplitting task. So, to pick the 25, we resorted to an informal readers’ poll.

Once again, the Women of Allure.
