In the modern times, the definition of “sexy” has spawned a deeper meaning. It’s more than having a slim body, clinching the vital statistics 36-24-36, and having a flat tummy.

It goes beyond skin deep, as sexiness can also be measured by the way someone thinks, acts, or speaks.

Thus, most of the men and women nowadays, especially the millenials, aren’t pressured to gain the desirable physical assets but more yearning to improve themselves cognitively.

Since she became the Sexiest Woman of a men’s magazine in 2017, let’s find out what made Nadine Lustre the epitome of new sexiness.

She’s a multi-faceted, award-winning artist

Prior to notching her first cinematic lead role in the 2014 hit romantic movie Diary ng Panget, her brilliance in acting was already unraveled through her stint in Maalala Mo Kaya in 2006.

From teenybopper roles, we witnessed how she evolved to mature roles that kicked off through her portrayal of Leah in the drama On The Wings of Love in 2015. And in this year alone, she won not just one but three Best Actress awards for the film “Never Not Love You” from Gawad Urian, The Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences Awards (FAMAS) and The Young Critics Circle.

Aside from acting, Nadine also has an outstanding music career as evidenced by her numerous awards and nominations and chart-topping records. She also to be a member of the all-female group Pop Girls before catapulting to immense stardom.

Being a versatile performer seems still not enough for our main girl. Because of her burning passion for her craft, she expressed in a magazine interview her utmost interest to venture into writing, producing, and directing film. Well, she was able to tick one of these when she helmed the music video of James Reid’s “The Life”.

The 26-year-old actress also showcases her flair in visual arts which can be seen in the photos she posts on Instagram and excellently edited video of one of their trips.

She’s confidently beautiful

Nadine truly depicts what modern Filipina women should be — proud of their skin and beauty. She boldly flaunts her fit body and morena skin and incessantly bombards our Instagram feeds with her chic millennial #OOTDs making her one of the fashion pegs of this generation.

Apart from her physical allure, she mesmerizes us as well because of her fearlessness in airing her opinions and in responding to controversies when the situation calls for it. She’s not afraid to lash out bashers for the sake of protecting her loved ones and honestly and intelligently answers the issues thrown at them.

She also became one of the judges of the 2-in-1 talent competition “Your Moment”. As a juror, the actress-singer imparted that she’s going to assess the performances according to how the contestants are going to seamlessly convey the emotions they would want the spectators to feel and how they’re going to make her feel involved in their number.
