Over the last 12 months, ELLE Singapore's cover has been graced by some of the brightest stars in the region, each of them with powerful stories of hard work, resilience and love for their craft to tell. From homegrown talents like Carrie Wong and singer-songwriter Shye to South Korean Olympic champion Kim Yuna and budding actress like Miu Natsha and Lena Schuett of Thailand's rapidly expanding entertainment scene, here are ELLE Singapore's cover stars of 2025.
January 2025
Tasha Low & Chantalle Ng
We started the year strong with Singapore's own Chantalle Ng and Tasha Low, just months away from the premiere of The Little Nyonya spin-off Emerald Hill in March. The duo, who have been best friends since meeting years prior on the set of Live Your Dreams, have since garnered much acclaim for their roles in the smash hit series. With the future of Singaporean entertainment in their hands, it looks like we can all rest easy.
February 2025
Carrie Wong
For the month of love, Singaporean actress Carrie Wong graced our cover in Onitsuka Tiger, where she got candid on all things love. While she's yet to find the one (as far as we know, at least) her 2025 was much, much bigger than romance. For the tenth year in a row, she was named one of the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes at the 2025 Star Awards, where she also took home the BYD Favourite Female Character Award for her role as Lin Siyu inCoded Love. In 2025, she also led the Chinese-language drama Fixing Fate, a project that dove deep into pivotal moments in Singapore's history.
Tia Lee
With February came our first digital cover of the year, featuring Taiwanese singer, actress and women's empowerment advocate Tia Lee. In addition to her Mando-pop icon status, she is also behind the #EmpowerHer campaign, which supports female-focused charities across the globe—oftentimes with proceeds from her music career. 2025 also saw her on the covers of ELLE's Malaysia and Vietnam editions, furthering the reach of her meaningful campaign.
March 2025
Danielle Marsh
Our March cover was fronted by Danielle Marsh—best known as a former member of NewJeans—who won us all over in stunning Celine looks. Amid legal disputes with her former agency, 2025 has been a quiet year for the Korean-Australian K-pop singer. However, she was often spotted spending her downtime running marathons and volunteering at charity events, ensuring that no second of the year went to waste. Here's to a brighter 2026.
Haven Teo
Singaporean singer-songwriter Haven Teo joined us for an intimate, personal conversation for our March digital cover, where she spoke candidly of how music became a lifeline for her struggles with mental health. Now, she's not only healing, but reaching new highs through her music. In addition to releasing her debut album My World this year, Haven has collaborated with brands like Prada, Dior Beauty and Onitsuka Tiger.
April 2025
Kylie Verzosa
Gracing our cover in April was none other than Kylie Verzosa in Tiffany & Co. jewellery. In 2025, the Filipino film actress, entrepreneur and fashion icon has expanded her shapewear brand Solá, launched her healthcare start-up &you and spoken at TEDx, all while walking red carpets in Cannes and joining brands like Gucci and Max Mara at Milan Fashion Week.
May 2025
Nychaa
In May, Thai actress Nuttanicha “Nychaa” Dungwattanawanich opened up about seeking growth and challenges in her career. With the number of new projects under her belt this year, from zombie horror flick Ziam and thriller drama Hypnotic to starring in GOT7 star BamBam's music video for "Wondering" and being cast in the upcoming series My Chef in Crime with Jeff Satur, she sure has been walking the talk.
Willabelle Ong
May also brought with it our third digital cover of the year with Singaporean fashion creator, artist and entrepreneur Willabelle Ong. For her, 2025 was all about building, both figuratively and literally. Willabelle has been documenting the process behind building her dream home at TheOltreHouse, from early conceptual sketches to art pieces she is curating for the space. Even so, she's found the time to make memories with her loved ones, travelling the world with her daughter Ava.
June 2025
Shye & 9m88
In May, we were joined by not one, but two burgeoning superstars, Singapore's own Shye and Taiwanese singer-songwriter and actress 9m88, decked out in full Chanel. It has been a year of immense growth for them both, with Shye dropping a whopping seven new singles (and gracing the stage at ELLE Singapore's anniversary party, also in Chanel). while 9m88 starred in the films A Foggy Tale and Girl, the latter of which premiered at Venice Film Festival.
July 2025
Kim Yuna
South Korean Olympic champion and Dior ambassador Kim Yuna fronted our July issue, where the figure skater told us all about life after the Olympics, fostering a new generation of athletes and, of course, her love for fashion. Now over a decade into her retirement from competitive skating, she remains an influential force in the winter sports world, and is in the midst of promoting the upcoming Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
August 2025
Soo Joo & Baifern
August brought with it two cover stories—Korean-American model and musician Soo Joo in Miu Miu, and Thai actress Baifern in Tiffany & Co. The former has spent much of the year furthering her budding music career and dropping her debut EP, while the latter has been quietly gearing up for a slew of projects she has coming up in 2026.
September 2025
Urassaya “Yaya” Sperbund
For our September issue, we were joined by Thai-Norwegian actress and Louis Vuitton brand ambassador Urassaya "Yaya" Sperbund, one of Thailand's most in-demand stars. In addition to starring in the Thai-English supernatural horror film Home Sweet Home Rebirth and crime mystery series Dalah: Death and the Flowers, she also acted as a mentor on the Chinese-Thai reality competition show Chuang Asia: Season 2, offering her experience and guidance for young hopefuls looking to break into entertainment.
October 2025
Jay Park
Our October cover story featured Korean-American singer, entrepreneur and Gucci ambassador Jay Park, who got candid about building his career, labels and Soju brand Won Soju. While he had an busy year on his Serenades & Body Rolls World Tour, 2026 is looking to be an even more exciting one with the upcoming debut of LNGSHOT, his first K-pop boy band under his label More Vision.
Jung Hae-in
This year, our October digital cover star Jung Hae-in became the face of Tommy Hilfiger's "The Hilfiger Racing Club" Fall 2025 campaign, his boyish good looks and the brand's classic American style creating a fresh synergy. The South Korean actor has had a lowkey 2025, fostering his relationships with fashion brands and quietly preparing for upcoming projects such as Netflix rom-com Lovestuck, which is slated for 2026.
November 2025
Ameera Khan
We popped across the causeway for a heart-to-heart with our November cover star Ameera Khan, an entrepreneur, fashion icon and model of the high-profile Khan family. She spoke about growing up in the public eye and building her beauty brand ellemkay, sharing how she had learnt to ground herself and seek validation from within as of late. With those lessons in mind, 2026 is sure to bring greater success and fonder memories.
December 2025
Lena Schuett & Miu Natsha
Ending the year off strong was our cover story with Miu Natsha and Lena Schuett in Cartier, two fast-rising Thai actresses making their mark. The duo exploded in popularity in 2025 with their hit GL (Girls' Love) series My Safe Zone, winning fans over with their natural chemistry and killer acting chops. With a second project already on the way, this is only the beginning for them.
