Times Monaco expanded its celebration of creativity, leadership and influence last night with the presentation of the Top 20 Influential Women 2025 in Fashion and Beauty, hosted at the Méridien Beach Plaza…

The event brought together leading figures from across fashion, beauty, media and entrepreneurship to recognise women whose work is shaping the industry’s present and future.

Among this year’s honourees was Sofia Valleri, recognised for her growing influence within the luxury and lifestyle space, alongside a diverse group of women whose careers span creativity, wellness, management and global fashion. Also featured was Kellyn Sun, an author known for sharing wisdom and innovation, whose multifaceted profile as a yoga teacher and freediver reflects a holistic approach to modern influence that blends wellbeing, discipline and personal growth.

The international reach of the list was further underlined by Yulia Yanina, founder and creative director of Yanina Couture, whose fashion house has become synonymous with refined craftsmanship and couture excellence on the global stage. Marharyta Pogosian, founder of Margaux Management, was recognised for her work in model management, fashion production and PR, playing a key role in nurturing talent and shaping fashion narratives in Monaco and beyond. Completing the lineup of standout figures was Victoria Silvstedt, celebrated as a television personality and artist whose long-standing presence in the public eye continues to evolve through creative reinvention.

The evening was enhanced by curated brand pop-ups from Lunesi Beauty, Parisian fragrance house D’Aventro, haute couture designer Ira Langevin, and Milan-based fashion designer Madalina Caminischi, creating a vibrant showcase of contemporary luxury.

By highlighting twenty women from varied backgrounds and disciplines, Times Monaco reaffirmed its commitment to celebrating influence as a force for creativity, leadership and meaningful impact.
