LOOK: Is Kathryn 'too young' for Cosmo debut?

MANILA - Teen superstar Kathryn Bernardo appears to be turning a page in her public image as she graced for the first time women's magazine Cosmopolitan as its January 2015 cover girl.

 Bernardo, who turned 18 last March, is dubbed a "girl in charge" on the cover unveiled Wednesday on Cosmopolitan Philippines' Facebook page. She is seen posing in an off-shoulder, midriff-baring top and a floral mini-skirt.

While some followers of Bernardo expressed excitement over her debut on Cosmopolitan, which is popular for its yearly "bachelor bash" and sex and beauty tips for adult women, others questioned the decision to feature the former "Goin' Bulilit" star in the magazine.

"She's too young for Cosmo," commented Mara de Lara.

"Paano ba namimili ngayon ng ilalagay sa cover ng Cosmo? Fan votes?" asked Brian Villena. "She's still too young for the cover."

Reader Abigail Perez, meanwhile, raised the apparent disconnect between Bernardo and a sex-related blurb placed next to the petite actress: "'7 Sex Zones You Musn't Neglect' written next to Kathryn Bernardo's head doesn't look quite right. But I find her incredibly stunning."

Nonetheless, fans agreed that Bernardo appeared to be "blooming" and more mature on the cover. Others noticed her defined abs and praised the actress for keeping fit.

Bernardo's Cosmopolitan debut comes a month after she was introduced as the lead star, along with onscreen partner Daniel Padilla, of ABS-CBN's modern retelling of "Pangako Sa 'Yo," widely seen as the love team's first foray into mature roles.
