MEGA’s May 2025 issue is all about Mothering as a State of Being, starting with Nadine Lustre on the cover. Though far from a mother in the traditional sense, she deftly steps into the title bestowed upon her the people and took on mothering as part of her lifestyle and advocacy. This exploration of mothering continues with the rest of the stories inside the issue, from Designer Dialogue with Ria Bolivar and Lulu Tan-Gan, to the Designer Spotlight Asia feature on Vietnamese designer Mai Lam, the Beauty Blog story on Malaysian Canadian Mei Pang, and a a beauty editorial of hairstyles made famous by women icons through the years.
