¡HOLA! AMERICAS ANNOUNCES THE RETURN OF LATINA POWERHOUSE 100 AND ITS 2026 GALA IN MIAMI

Under the theme "The Hispanic Legacy: Inspiring America's Future," the sixth edition will honor 100 women shaping their fields and culminate in a gala at Miami's Ziff Ballet Opera House.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ¡HOLA! Americas announces the return of Latina Powerhouse 100, its annual list recognizing Latina women whose work and influence are shaping their fields across the United States, Latin America, and beyond.

Now in its sixth year, Latina Powerhouse has grown far beyond the initiative that was born in 2020. What began as a digital platform celebrating the achievements and influence of Latina women has evolved into a signature ¡HOLA! franchise, sharing their stories across our publications, social channels, and live experiences.

That evolution will take center stage on Monday, November 2, as the Latina Powerhouse 100 Gala returns to Miami for its biggest celebration yet. In a first for the event, more than 400 guests will gather directly on the stage of the Ziff Ballet Opera House at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County, transforming one of Miami's most iconic stages into an intimate setting to honor the 2026 Powerhouses.

Under this year's theme, "The Hispanic Legacy: Inspiring America's Future," the 2026 edition will honor women who are building on the work of those who came before them and opening doors for the next generation.

"Latina Powerhouse was created to shine a light on extraordinary women and the stories that deserve to be told. Six years later, we're celebrating not only what these women have achieved but also the legacy they're building for the generations that follow," said Nagidmy Márquez Acosta, Chief Content Officer of ¡HOLA! Americas.

The gala will bring together the 2026 honorees, with special honors and a musical production created for the evening. "The Soundtrack of the Americas" will celebrate music that has connected cultures and generations across the Americas, performed by the Latina Powerhouse Big Band and special guests.

Over the years, the Latina Powerhouse 100 has recognized an extraordinary range of women, including Shakira, Chita Rivera, Zoe Saldaña, Diana Trujillo, Karime López, Dany Garcia, Selena Gomez, Jordan Chiles, and Eva Longoria, representing excellence across entertainment, science, gastronomy, business, sports, and media.
