Princess Hours
Eunice Lucero ( STYLEBIBLE ) 09.03.09
The much-awaited September issue is here, and it's none other than TV darling Kim Chiu on the cover. The fan favorite showcases her moxie on Preview's fat fall trend forecast, decked in a black confection that instead of overwhelms, highlights her youthful aura in a haze of fierce feathers, one of this season's most avant themes.

Beauty, although decidedly more somber this time, rendered in moody shades of black and gray, comes alive with Kim's choice of hairstyle: nothing says “I'm here!” more than a unique, face-forward topknot, which most can pull off with a dose of always-fashionable confidence. Smoky eyes also get updated with cleaner lines and brows, and lips are just this side of peachy pink—we're back to the fashion formula of dark and mysterious, but tinged with some cheeky playfulness, which our cover girl brings to life like none other.
