EMMA STONE
Actress, 35
The Oscar winner and mom to 2-year-old daughter Louise Jean, with husband Dave McCary, 38, capped off her year with the Showtime dark comedy The Curse and the fantastical film Poor Things. Playing Bella Baxter, a woman who gets a second chance at life from an unorthodox scientist, Stone embraced raw sensuality and extreme vulnerability for the role. "It felt like acceptance of what it is to be a woman," she said. "To be free, to be scared and brave."
Britney Spears

DAVID BECKHAM
Sports Mogul, 48
How much more is there to know about soccer megastar David Beckham?

"It was a series that took me a while to come to terms with filming," Beckham has said. But he's "very, very proud."
