A Note on Glamour’s 2025 Women of the Year Theme of Sisterhood

Every woman I know has a story of sisterhood. Of being lifted, seen, or celebrated by another woman. In 2025, this is more important than ever—and it’s this year’s theme of Glamour‘s Women of the Year.

I’ve been lucky. I was born with a built-in best friend, my sister, Davina. She’s been my loudest cheerleader and my fiercest protector since day one. But throughout the years, I’ve learned that sisterhood doesn’t stop at family. I’ve found it in newsrooms, around dinner tables, and in every corner of Glamour’s global community. It’s the connection that carries us through joy and heartbreak, the fierce network of women who remind us that we’re never alone.

Our two Global Women of the Year, Demi Moore and Tyla, capture that power across generations, industries, and continents. Demi, a true Hollywood icon who continues to redefine strength and vulnerability, reminds us all to be the leading lady during every decade of our lives. Tyla, a global superstar from South Africa, brings her musical talent to the world stage, showing that sisterhood has no borders. Together, they reflect everything Glamour stands for—brilliance, resilience, and connection that transcends age and provenance.

“Sisterhood is a mutual support and safety, a space of being seen, uplifted and heard. I can’t imagine living without it during this particular time of my life,” says Moore. And Tyla shared, “Sisterhood is being able to relate to another woman, trust her with your secrets, and know that she understands.” Their words remind me why this connection matters so much because we all crave that understanding, that safety, that lift.

Across the globe, our Women of the Year honoree, from Mexico to Spain, Germany to the UK, and here in the US , each embody that same force. You’ll feel it not just in their stories, but in who tells them—the friends, collaborators (like actor Margaret Qualley’s interview with Moore), and writers who admire them (our head of editorial content in the UK went deep with Tyla.)

As we unveil Glamour’s many other Women of the Year covers from around the world in the coming days and gather to celebrate these remarkable people in each region, I’m reminded that sisterhood isn’t something abstract. It’s alive and present in every connection, every conversation, every woman who reaches out to another. This year’s Women of the Year is a love letter to the sisters we’re born with—and the ones we find along the way.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
