Why not Foret 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 35-year-old model, as a 2026 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Foret 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 ‘Belgian Of The Year’ by some major Belgian newspapers and even ‘Liège Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Liège (Jade Foret'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:
“Jade Foret Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 31 Dec 2025
“Congrats! Jade has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 31 Dec 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Jade Foret?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 31 Dec 2025
Could 2026 officially be the Year of Jade Foret?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2026 Person of the Year.
