For the first time in Allure history, its Philippine, U.S., and Korea editions have come together, all featuring one cover group: KATSEYE. As one of today’s biggest global girl groups, the six-member (five, due to Manon’s hiatus) act has quickly become a force in pop culture, captivating audiences with chart-climbing releases, electrifying performances, and a growing international fanbase.
As Allure Philippines Editor-in-Chief Rissa Mananquil Trillo puts it, “They embody what beauty looks like today—multicultural, borderless, and impossible to define by a single standard.”

The Beauty Direction
The Philippine edition is a masterclass in timeless glamour with a contemporary twist. Cool-toned smoky eyes, glossy nude lips, voluminous blowouts, and the bleached brows of Daniela, Megan, and Lara strike the perfect balance between nostalgia and modern editorial beauty. The look feels familiar yet fresh—proof that KATSEYE can effortlessly make even classic glam feel current.
Hanging On to Beauty
The Korean edition takes a more playful approach, with the members posing alongside and hanging onto beauty products and tools. Rather than serving as mere props, these objects become extensions of the group’s youthful energy and chemistry. Even on the cover of a beauty magazine, KATSEYE’s personalities remain the focal point, reminding readers that beauty is just as much about confidence and individuality as it is about products.
Everything Global
Made up of members from different countries and cultural backgrounds, KATSEYE has always represented a more expansive vision of pop stardom. That multicultural identity makes them the perfect choice to unite three Allure editions under one cover story. Much like Dream Academy brought together talent from across the world to create the group, this collaboration reflects a shared vision of beauty that transcends borders and celebrates representation.
It’s only fitting that KATSEYE—a girl group embodying the diverse lens of beauty today—marks such a historic first for Allure. In those three covers, they’ve only proven that we’re celebrating a new era of beauty, one where it’s shaped by the many cultures and identities that define it today.
