The Harper's Bazaar UK Women of the Year Awards returned on Thursday 5 November, drawing some of the biggest screen stars to Claridge's in London to celebrate female achievement across the showbiz industry.
Just one year shy of its 20th anniversary, the ceremony saw Traitors host Claudia Winkleman, This Morning star Cat Deeley and her predecessor Holly Willoughby among the attendees. Academy Award-winning actress Cate Blanchett was also present and received a prestigious award for her contribution to the industry.
Stars on the red carpet
Holly Willoughby, who has pursued a career on YouTube since leaving the ITV show, wore an Alexander McQueen blazer mini dress with a dash of striking red lipstick. Claudia Winkleman, appearing just days after the final of The Celebrity Traitors aired, opted for a chic black tailored blazer, boots and her trademark fringe.
Cat Deeley posed in a long flowing dress accessorised with a gold embellished belt. Hollywood actress Isla Fisher chose a long black short-sleeved gown, complementing the look with striking red lips and her signature red tresses.
More honourees in attendance
Film director Sam Taylor-Johnson showed off a bright textured blazer with a minidress and heels, holding a clutch bag. Actress Lesley Manville, known for The Crown, Sherwood and currently starring in Marble Hall Murders, wore a floor-length dress with matching shoes and bag.
Lydia Slater, Editor-in-Chief of Harper's Bazaar UK, said: "The Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards have a rich heritage of recognising the inspirational women whose achievements are shaping contemporary culture. We're delighted to partner with The Platinum Card by American Express for a third consecutive year."
