Kris Aquino and sisters are cover girls in magazine casting coup

The Aquino sisters share a light moment with Town &Country editor-in-chief Monique Villonco (far right) between takes.

More behind-the-scenes insider tidbits: Ballsy, Pinky and Viel, who are all slim, don't like wearing form-fitting clothes, and so the dress sizes they specified were two sizes larger than their actual sizes–the clothes that fashion editor Rorie Carlos sourced for the shoot had to be pinned at the back. (Except for Viel, who, as she wished, wore her own dress). Also, as they were being made up by Juan Sarte III and Patrick Rosas in the dressing room, the three were praying the rosary! And why not? It was, after all, September 8, birthday of the Virgin Mary. But also, unbeknownst to all, it turns out that the next day was when their brother Noynoy would announce whether or not he had decided if he would run for President. The sisters say they did not know what his decision would be at the time.

Read more about the Aquino sisters in Town & Country's November issue, now available at all major magazine stands and bookstores.

    What a sight to see! Its worth buying this mag, im inspired to see Simplicity and Authencity of their images as sisters. Nakaka
    taba sa puso ang makitang meron pa ring magkakapatid na nananatiling nagmamahalan no matter what. At the same time im also feeling bit sad thinking of the toughest times theyve been through as a family ever since. little sis Kris must have been so loved to do wonders and make this public shot possible!
    Youre simply great Aquino sisters! Brilliant Photographer too!

    "breathe of fresh air", "role model", "privilege" what on Earth is happening? I know the fact that most Filipinos are forgetful but they aren't blind.

    You are a reflection of your mom's simplicity, elegant and well respected.

    im sure the sisters can surely afford to wear designer clothes, shoes and accessories for this shoot but true to their unpretentious nature, they opted not to. . .yan ang totoong mayaman. walang ere sa katawan! bravo!

    This cover photo shoot is like a breath of fresh air after the devastating floods & typhoons.

    Thank you, Aquino Sisters for this rare privilege of seeing you together in one magazine cover.

    God bless you and NoyNoy always!

    Wow, true talaga na simplicity is beauty! I really admire the Aquino sisters. Low profile yet brainy. Kris really shows that even if she is a star, her love for family is really on top. Galing!!!!

    It could have been better if tita cory was there also in the photo...very nice to see..

    Gosh, how sosyal is Monique! Loved that last photo. Well, all of them--even the simple Aquino sisters-- are glam naman. But just wanted to say that Monique, even though she's not nakaayos, pwedeng pwede sumali sa shoot. Yan ang EIC ng T&C!

    Classy. I wish Kris would be more like her sisters. She can still be opinionated and chatty and hyper but maybe less showbiz and ostentatious.
