Why not Arósio for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 50-year-old model, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Arósio so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the model have already been named ‘Brazilian Of The Year’ by some major Brazilian newspapers and even ‘São Paulo Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in São Paulo (Ana Paula Arósio's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the model was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Ana Paula Arósio Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveAna Paula”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 27 Jul 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Ana Paula Arósio?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 27 Jul 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Ana Paula Arósio?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
