Why not Jones 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 Jones 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 ‘English Of The Year’ by some major English newspapers and even ‘Sunbury-on-Thames Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Sunbury-on-Thames (Rosie Jones' 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:
“Rosie Jones Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 12 Jan 2026
“Congrats! Rosie has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 12 Jan 2026
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Rosie Jones?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 12 Jan 2026
Could 2026 officially be the Year of Rosie Jones?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2026 Person of the Year.
