1. Marigay McKee
About 20 years ago, Marigay McKee started as a typical beauty buyer for Harrod’s. Soon after, she worked her way to be the fashion and beauty director of Harrod’s. But Marigay didn’t stop there! She also took the role of a president of Saks Fifth Avenue and made wonders in shaping up the NY institution despite some cultural preferences. She is also a stronger believer of mantras. No wonder she’s tagged as a talented former first lady of British department stores!
2. Bobbi Brown
I consider Bobbi Brown as a precious jewel of the makeup industry. For over two decades, Bobbi Brown has been motivating women through self-worth: “Be who you are.” She made use of campaigns and her product line to reach out to every woman in the world and spread the value of women empowerment.
3. Hannah Bronfman
Talking about a girl boss’ versatility? Hannah Bronfman won’t let you down! She is a co-founder of Beautified, a mobile app used to book appointments (with just a tap) for your same-day beauty and fitness needs.

4. Michelle Phan
She started out as a dreamer with a childlike faith, and now, she’s a notable YouTube personality with over 8 million subscribers (and still counting)! I am actually an avid viewer of her video tutorials, reviews, and blogs, and I can say she really loves what she does. Her nominations and awards just proved she’s no ordinary YouTube icon. Aside from her creative video editing skills, her voiceovers are also magical it makes you view more of her videos. She’s also an entrepreneur and makeup artist.
5. Tory Burch
Almost everyone knows her brand and product line, but do you know the woman behind these elegant fashion pieces? Just like any other aspirant, Tory Burch started from the bottom before standing at where she is right now. It was her brilliant mind that brought her and her brand to Oprah and be featured just after a few months of launching her craft. Currently, she’s one of the most sought-after designers in the fashion industry, and the rest they say is history.
6. Emily Weiss
She was a former Vogue assistant, but eventually, she opened her doors to the wider horizon on the Internet. She made her own beauty blog, Into The Gloss, back in 2010. Eventually, it made a mark to the readers, and after a few years, it was recognized as one of the most visited beauty sites because of her in-depth product reviews and interviews with makeup artists and other beauty influencers. She also launched Glossier, a beauty brand that caters to the needs of a modern woman’s skin.
7. Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba is not only a Hollywood actress with a very pretty face and a style icon, but she also co-founded The Honest Company. The company sells eco-friendly and natural products for babies now worth more than a billion dollars! But on top of all this, Jessica is also a doting mother and she has to balance all these things, which makes her a girl boss to look up to.
8. Justice Ruth Brader Ginsburg
She’s the notorious RBG! She has survived two cancer bouts, continues to assert her place in a male-dominated Supreme Court, and promotes an insane workout. More than these, she’s famous for her dissents, no-holds-barred opinion, and crazy fight for women’s rights. Justice Ruth Brader Ginsburg should be every woman’s poster girl.
