Andrea Brillantes stood her ground after a netizen claimed that she underwent plastic surgery, days after she was named the “Most Beautiful Girl in 2024” by the UK-based TC Candler and the Independent Critics.
Brillantes defended herself against one @lucyyyyyy_05 on TikTok who alleged that the actress had gone under the knife, by posting a clip that featured photos of herself when she was still a kid.
“My face card at nine years old,” she wrote on the clip.
The actress added that she has been “pretty with or without enhancements” in the caption of her post.
“Pretty since day one baby. Pretty with or without enchantments,” she wrote.

Brillantes topped the TC Candler’s “The Most Beautiful Faces of 2024” rankings, making it her second time to appear on the list after her 16th spot in 2023.
The actress addressed her recent milestone in ABS-CBN’s flagship newscast TV Patrol on Sunday, December 29, while hoping that her fans would celebrate “[their] own kind of beauty.”
“Napakalaking honor po (This is a huge honor), thank you so much sa TC Candler,” she said. “This isn’t just about beauty, it is about confidence and uniqueness and embracing who you are. Sana ma-inspire kayo (I hope you’ll be inspired) to celebrate your own kind of beauty.”
Other Filipinas on the list are Janiness Gutierrez (28th), Liza Soberano (31st), Belle Mariano (52nd), Ivana Alawi (69th), UNIS’ Gehlee Dangca (82nd) and BINI’s Aiah Arceta (88th).
Meanwhile, HORI7ON’s Kyler Chua is the highest-ranked Filipino on TC Candler’s “The Most Handsome Faces of 2024” list at the 21st spot, while SB19’s Justin de Dios ranked 41st.
