Ardern was one of fifteen women selected to appear on the cover of the September 2019 issue of British "Vogue", by guest editor Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. "Forbes" magazine placed her at 38 among the 100 most powerful women in the world in 2019. She was included in the 2019 "Time" 100 list and was a candidate for "Time"'s 2019 Person of the Year. Many believed that she would win the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize for her handling of the Christchurch mosque shootings. In 2020, she was listed by "Prospect" as the second-greatest thinker for the COVID-19 era. In 2021, New Zealand zoologist Steven A. Trewick named the flightless wētā species "Hemiandrus jacinda" in honour of Ardern. A spokesperson for Ardern said that a beetle ("Mecodema jacinda"), a lichen, and an ant had also been named after her.
