Stylish Girls Reveal How Cosmo Changed Their Lives

By Katherine Eustaquio           

See snapshots of the fashion-forward ladies who attended our 15th birthday party last night, and read what they had to say about us!   

Cosmopolitan, the Philippines' best-selling women's magazine, has been helping Filipinas all over the country become fun, fearless, and fabulous for 15 years. And all the hard work and unyielding faith that we pour into the brand has paid off, as more and more women are living out the fun and fearless lives they deserve.

To commemorate this success, we celebrated Cosmo's 15th birthday with an exclusive party at the NBC Tent last night and invited some of the biggest celebrities! There were lots of eye candy to enjoy, from the suited-up hunks to the gorgeous formal ensembles worn by the female guests. We took some snapshots of the stylish girls we spotted and, in honor of the occasion, asked them: "How has Cosmo changed your life?"
