Tiktok sensation Bella Poarch is the cover star of the October 2025 issue of Vogue Philippines.

Bella is whimsical in a sheer white dress with black, featherlike blooms and a boned skirt protruding in arcs from her hips. The same fabric and flowers cover her hair.

The internet darling revisited her childhood in the Philippines, recalling how her love for music blossomed, and spoke about her aspirations in the magazine’s cover story, “Bella Poarch Returns to the Place Where She First Learned to Sing.”

“(Bella’s) neighbors frequently had their radio on blast, blaring everything from Filipino love songs to global pop hits. Such were the medleys that soundtracked a routine of household chores, of cutting grass or watering mahogany and mango trees,” Vogue captioned the magazine cover, shared on Instagram.

“‘The very first song I learned was “Reflection” from the movie Mulan,’ she reveals. ‘It was a very beautiful memory that I’ll just never forget, because it was the moment that I’m like, ‘I want to be a singer one day,’” it added.

The social media star-turned-singer paid her home country a visit after 14 years.

Bella revealed to Vogue that she is currently working on her very first full-length album, describing it as a “reflection of myself and my life.”
