According to a well-placed source, Super M 2003 winner Paula Chaves is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the model's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Chaves 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 40-year-old model, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Chaves 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 ‘Argentine Of The Year’ by some major Argentine newspapers and even ‘Buenos Aires Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Buenos Aires (Paula Chaves' 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:

“Paula Chaves Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 16 Apr 2025
“Congrats! Paula has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 16 Apr 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Paula Chaves?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 16 Apr 2025

Could 2025 officially be the Year of Paula Chaves?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
