Vote now for your next BAZAAR Women of the Year 2026
It’s that time of the year when we’d like to celebrate extraordinary women, and your vote matters this year. BAZAAR Women of the Year is our celebration of exceptional women whose influence, grace and ambition have made an impact in the fields of fashion, beauty, lifestyle, philanthropy or the arts.
This year, we’re celebrating women in music. The music industry has witnessed remarkable contributions from women who have reshaped its landscape, and we’d like to honour their achievements and shed light on the rich tapestry of talent within the local music scene.
But we’re doing things a little differently this year—we’re asking our readers to vote for one out of the 10 women in our list. We’ve selected a few nominees who are making a significant difference in the music scene, and now it’s up to you to decide who will complete our list of honourees.
You’ll soon find out who else will be on our list of women, so stay tuned for more exciting announcements.
