Woman of the Year: Glamor Party 2025 will be held at the Iconic Plaza Hotel
Clearly, McGrath has already conquered the beauty industry. She’s the most in-demand makeup artist in the world, and continues to find ways to revolutionize the art and business of beauty. Its billion-dollar namesake brand, Pat McGrath Labs, celebrated its 10th anniversary in September.
YouTube star Rachel Accorso, better known as Ms. Rachel, is celebrating a lot this year as well. Her children’s media brand now has a global reach, with 13 billion views on YouTube and over 17 million subscribers, and her show quickly became one of the most popular children’s series on Netflix when it began streaming in early 2025. The focus of Accurso’s brand is empathy, ensuring our next generation gets plenty of it – and plenty of educational songs that parents will also find catchy.
The WNBA is fighting for the next generation of athletes. It’s been a huge year for the league, with ESPN viewership hitting an all-time high and players becoming more visible than ever through podcasts, brand deals and signature Reebok shoes that sell out in hours. But underneath that, players are seeking stronger contracts to ensure they receive a fair share of the league’s revenue. They will continue to press, on and off the field.
These powerful women will come together for one night only at one of New York City’s most historic hotels. The Plaza Hotel opened its luxurious doors for the first time on October 1, 1907. Located in the heart of Manhattan, at Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, the hotel consists of 19 floors of charm and luxury. Designed in the style of a French chateau, The Plaza came from the minds of financier Bernhard Beneke, hotelier Fred Sterry, and Harry S. Black, president of Fuller Construction, and is now widely considered a cultural institution.
