Inside the opulent Medusa at The Palace, where 1920s Art Deco glamour meets tropical and safari-inspired details, Anne Curtis, Solenn Heussaff, Georgina Wilson, Liz Uy, and Belle Daza came together with the people closest to them for an evening that felt as intimate as it was glamorous. Dressed for the occasion and reunited under one roof, the five September cover stars set the tone for a night centered on friendship, style, and the story they created together.

The celebration brought together the cover stars’ inner circle, from close friends and family to the creatives behind the September issue. Among the evening’s guests were Bea and Eric Dee, Sam Wilson, Mond Gutierrez, Hannah Pangilinan, BJ Pascual—the photographer behind the cover, Hong Kong artist Elly Lam, Benny Tady, design director Nix Alanon, and more.
As dinner unfolded, guests were treated to a special arrival: the September issue itself, wrapped neatly in a bow and placed into their hands. The moment also marked a homecoming of sorts for the cover stars, many of whom had traveled from different parts of the world to be part of the special issue. Editor-in-Chief Peewee Reyes-Isidro welcomed the guests, sharing her gratitude to the five women for coming together for MEGA’s September story.
Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for. The evening’s energy shifted as the September fashion film played, leading into the official unveiling of the cover. For a room already filled with familiar faces, it was a fitting moment to celebrate the finished story—and the women who brought it to life.
The celebration continued over wine, photographs, and conversations between old friends and new ones. Bloomingails bouquets were presented to the five cover stars, adding another thoughtful touch to an evening designed around them.
More than a celebration of a new issue, the dinner was a toast to the people who make a story what it is—the women in front of the camera, the creatives behind it, and the friends and family who have been part of their journeys along the way. For one evening, they were all gathered in the same room, raising a glass to the September cover and everything it represents.
