And that’s a wrap! Glamour‘s Women of the Year Awards may be done for another year, but we’re not going to stop reliving it anytime soon.

Taking place on Thursday, 30th October at 180 The Strand, sponsored by Simple as Supporting Partner, Nobu Portman Square as Official Hotels Partner, Cupra as Official Automotive Partner and Parfum de Marly, Foundation FM and Tinder also as Supporting Partners, the awards were a celebration of sisterhood. At the event’s 19th anniversary, we honoured an array of trail-blazing women who have shaped the culture this year, including the likes of Rachel Zegler, Tyla, and Hannah Hampton.

A moment for The Dolls! Our final cover drop celebrated nine incredible transgender women – Shon Faye, Bel Priestley, Munroe Bergdorf, Munya, Ceval Omar, Taira, Dani St James, Maxine Heron, and Mya Mehmi – who have all shifted the dial during a tumultuous political period for women and LGBT+ rights.

Vick Hope, the legendary TV and radio presenter, journalist, and author, kicked off the proceedings with a speech about “recognising our sisters.”

“I’m going to let this moment pass tonight that expressing our solidarity with our sisters in Palestine and in conflict zones around the world. I would also like to take a moment to celebrate Glamour’s very own victory this year, pushing to make it illegal to create deep fake form of someone.”

Glamour’s new Head of Editorial Content, Kemi Alemoru then took to the stage. “We understand women are not a monolith,” adding that our “safety and security” can never come at the expense of the “LGBTQ community, migrants, people of colour, disabled people.”

“Their rights are our rights. Their safety is our safety. Feminism that does not include them all is not feminism,” she concluded.

And with that, we bring your the most empowering moments and speeches from this year’s Women of the Year Awards.
