American fashion and lifestyle magazine Vogue has released its annual list of most powerful women in the world.
The magazine sifts through hundreds of candidates to determine its list of most powerful women, judging each of them by their financial resources, media presence and spheres of influence or impact.
This year’s edition features a list of 25 selected “women of the moment who are leading us through 2020 with prescience, power and poise”.
Justine Skye ask men to “shut their mouths” regarding anything women decides to do with their time
It also seeks to highlight how, during the coronavirus pandemic, “as priorities shifted so did the spotlight”.
Surprisingly, Meghan Markle has for the first time since joining the Royal Family not made Vogue’s annual list. She appeared in the esteemed list in both 2018 and 2019.
Instead, Fenty Collection CEO Rihanna was featured alongside BBC Three’s Normal People star Daisy Edgar-Jones, Charlotte Tilbury and the Queen in the famous list.
