Nicole Kidman
Continuing to prove herself as one of Australia's most successful exports, Nicole Kidman is named in this year's list.
The Big Little Lies star told the publication, "People go, 'You're a superwoman,' I hate it."
While she might not be a fan of all the praise surrounding her career, there is no denying she has had an awe-inspiring year...
The actress has spent the past 12 months booked and busy.
Kidman dominated screens as she appeared in The Perfect Couple, Babygirl, Lioness, Spellbound, A Family Affair and Expats.
Jordan Chiles
Jordan Chiles embodies star power, which is why it comes as no surprise she was honoured by the publication.
The Olympic gymnast was crucial to her team's gold medal victory at Paris 2024.
An advocate for mental health support, Chiles also works to create a safer, more inclusive and equitable gymnastics industry.
As successful as her year was, it wasn't without its struggles...
Chiles was awarded the bronze medal for her floor routine at the Olympics. Still, an inquiry by her coach with the judges brought her score under question.
Despite Chiles and USA Gymnastics contesting, her medal was later rescinded.
The gymnast opened up about the decision to Time, sharing: "At the beginning, it was hard.
"It was something that I had to just push through and see where it would go.
"I'm in college now, and I have the ability to perform my life away at UCLA.
"People are always coming to me and just being like, 'You're always gonna be loved.' So I'm now just able to take what I have, let everybody do the outside work, and just push myself forward."
A'ja Wilson
Las Vegas Aces WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson joined 12 other recipients in the Women of the Year issue for her incredible sporting prowess.
The professional has played back-to-back WNBA championships with her third MVP title, though that isn't all Wilson has achieved...
The basketballer also played at the 2024 Paris Olympics, helping the US team win gold and receiving the tournament MVP title.
While she wasn't smashing it on the court, Wilson published a best-selling book, Dear Black Girls.
The sporting star also became the first Black WNBA player to have a signature shoe since 2010, unveiling the A'One sneaker for Nike.
Olivia Munn
Olivia Munn has been on our screens for years as a fixture of the entertainment industry, but a recent personal struggle has redefined her role in the public eye.
In 2023, the actress announced she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, propelling her into the world of advocacy...
Munn had a double mastectomy, which was followed by the removal of her uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries in an effort to stop the hormones that could develop her cancer.
Documenting her journey with the disease had a tangible impact, with the National Cancer Institute revealing an increase in the type of screening test she took to discover her cancer.
TV reporter Alison Hall shared in January that the actress' breast cancer diagnosis pushed her to get more testing done.
While Hall was subsequently diagnosed with cancer, without Munn's advocacy, she might not have known until it was too late.
"She shared that I had breast cancer, but she said, 'This is actually good news. This is stage zero, the earliest it could possibly be caught, and we have the opportunity to deal with this,'" Hall told CBS Mornings.
Anna Sawai
Anna Sawai is fighting for more Asian representation in Hollywood and her efforts have not gone unnoticed.
The actress has found fame with her stellar and award-winning performance in Shōgun.
"We have so much more inside of us," Sawai, a New Zealand-born Japanese actor, told Time...
