Jan 23, 2026
The Cosmopolitan Blogger & Creator Awards have, over the years, become a space where India’s digital lifestyle voices are truly seen and celebrated. What started as a way to spotlight popular creators has gradually evolved into something more thoughtful, recognising people who bring originality, consistency and cultural relevance to the content they put out every day. These are creators who don’t just chase trends, but shape them, influencing how audiences dress, eat, travel, unwind and show up online.
From food and everyday living to travel, music and even motoring, the lifestyle categories reflect just how wide and exciting the creator ecosystem has become. These winners have built communities, started conversations and, in many cases, changed the way lifestyle content is created and consumed in India. With the eighth edition of the awards around the corner, it felt like the right time to look back at some of the most memorable lifestyle and culture winners from past years, and why their work continues to resonate.
