The global media platform, celebrated for amplifying fearless voices and innovative storytelling, joyfully unveiled its first-ever international 29 Powerhouses list. This annual honor applauds 29 extraordinary individuals who are transforming self-expression and encouraging new cultural narratives in 2024.
Celebrating Those Who Empower
In a world that often feels overwhelming, the platform remains devoted to showcasing those who not only confront the obstacles of our era but also motivate us to transcend them. The 2024 Powerhouses exemplify people who bring happiness, meaning, and revitalization to our routines, encouraging us to aim higher and expand the boundaries of what’s attainable.
Leaders Building New Realms
These trailblazers are creating new arenas, challenging old norms, and leading by example. From fashion to activism, from stages to screens, these individuals are forging paths that are highly individual, while motivating others to do the same.
“At Refinery29 that true impact comes from sincerity and community,” shared representatives. “Our 2024 Powerhouses embody this ethos by guiding with purpose and providing spaces for others to express themselves openly.”

Included in the trailblazers are global sensation Ludmilla, who made history as the trailblazing Afro Latine woman to perform on the main stage at Coachella this year, and iconic makeup artist Pat McGrath, who captivated the world with her dramatic beauty creations for Maison Margiela during Couture Week. The list also includes the dominant U.S. Women’s Olympic gymnastics team — Suni Lee — who continue to inspire with their skill and composure.
