Why not Loza 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 42-year-old model, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Loza 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 ‘Peruvian Of The Year’ by some major Peruvian newspapers and even ‘Chimbote Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Chimbote (Melissa Loza'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:
“Melissa Loza Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 17 Jul 2025
“Congrats! Melissa has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 17 Jul 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Melissa Loza?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 17 Jul 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Melissa Loza?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
