and amazing, amazing activists and advocates.

Everyone is here tonight.

You are going to wanna stay tuned

My English teacher will be so proud that I m here today.

Hey! Your English teacher...

I mean, I think I got a D minus.

No, you didn t.

You re gonna get an A plus tonight.

Tonight, I think I m gonna get an A plus.

You in your own right are amazing. This one,

she s a little humble queen, but she s a philanthropist

and an entrepreneur in her own right.

Amazing woman.

Look who s talking, my lawyer.

As I tell you,

I don t do any contract without talking to Brynn.

Personal injury. I m gonna represent

myself and my shoe gate.

Those shoes, Brynn. [laughs]

Well you know what, thank God you took your feet out.

I know. Yeah. I stepped out perfectly.

I thought that they felt stuck.

I could feel it, so I just stepped out automatically.

I still have my toes. I still have my toes.

A little Brynn-derella moment. Never hurt anybody.

Brynn, I think I see...

You spy with your little eye.

Yeah, the woman of the year!

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have the editor in chief of Glamour Magazine herself,

Sam Perry. Get over here! My fellow...

The Conde Nast, resident redhead.

How are you guys?

Hello! Did we like,

did we color coordinate?

I feel like we did. Right?

This is all women designers

and black white was the thing.

Who designed yours?

My dresses by an amazing

Mexican American designer called Alexa Maria.

She s based in California. Born in Mexico.

Amazing. And I have a change for the

after party too, but this is my look.

But here, this is the back of it.

Girl, you look like a president of those boat.

We can show the view at the back. Show view the view back.

I m polka up Barbie.

Polka dot Barbie. We love it.

We like. Oh my God.

Okay, so Sam, as the editor in chief,

can you tell us a little bit more about this

amazing, amazing event?

I mean, how do you even pick the women

that are gonna be here tonight? Can you tell us,

everyone at home, a little bit more.

Like what s behind the carpet?

So we ve been doing Women of the Year for 33 years.

The first women of the year was in 1990.

Madonna was one of the original women of the year in 1990.

And I think it s steeped in the tradition of glamour.

It s everything we do, which is celebrate women,

honor women and every year we, it takes us a while

to pick who these women are.

We get together with the Glamour team.

We get together with a Glamour team globally.

And we also have an amazing advisory board.

You ll meet a lot of them on the carpet tonight.

They re made up of previous women of the year.

They re made up of the women at the top of their field.

And they come together maybe four times a year.

And they help us pick who we should be honoring.

Earlier today you told us, I asked you when are you,

gonna plan the next one?

Is it six months? You say the minute you wrap

this one, you re starting to plan.

Do you know what s interesting? Actually,

at nights like this we get a lot of people that come up

to us afterwards and they say, this was an amazing event,

I want you to know about this woman.

Right.

And so as I m leaving this party, I gather...

We re recruiting, did you hear that everybody?

We are recruiting next year s honorees and attendees.

I think she might be looking at them [laughs]

You know, we ll do a lot of charity.

We just have to do a lot of charity. We have to help a lot.

For the whole year, right?

Yeah.

I m gonna get the cheat sheet, we ll be doing that.

Today, did you do to prepare with this?

Like since you are you, everyone is here. You are the host.

Well I saw you earlier when I was in my sweatpants.

We re all sweatpants earlier.

Don t be fooled by the glam.

Yeah, exactly.

So, I have an amazing glam team.

Tasman from Charlotte Tillbury s team.

And Helen who is a female entrepreneur and owns Act+Acre,

she did my hair. And I think it s just, an amazing stylist.

We have the same stylist, Andrew.

That s why we look like twinsies.

Exactly. Twinsies.

And I think again, it s the process.

This is the biggest night for me.

It s the biggest night for Glamour.

We want to look and feel the best

and we wanna promote women. So I think that

encouraging everybody to come down the red carpet

and wear women-led designers was important to us.

Well, biggest night for us as well.

And I think you need to get inside

cause you re a very important lady here.

I m hosting. You re hosting,

You re very important. You re two livestream hosts.

This is great. I mean,

thank you so much for having us.

Thank you, thank you.

We ll never forget this moment.

And yeah, we re here at Glamour Woman of the Year.

Amazing. Good to see you, guys!

Bye! Thank you!

Guys, this is like a...

How cool is that that you just get to say

never growing up in Indiana,

did I think I m gonna get to talk to the editor in chief

of Glamour.

And not only in any a place,

this is Lincoln Center.

I mean one of the most iconic building.

I was like, do they gonna have like our...

Oh my God, I m seeing Michelle.

Wait, wait.

Okay, wait.

Michelle my belle. We got. Hi girl!

What up?

[kissing noises]

Love it. Oh my god.

How are you?

[indistinct]

Hey freckles. Hey freckles. Matching. Okay.

Can I just say, on behalf of all single gals in their

thirties, thank you for giving us a voice.

Your memoirs, all your work.

When I watch it and read it, I cry, I laugh.

Everything. Truly,

it s truly like watching it, just resonates.

I m like that s me. I m like, that s me, that s me.

Okay. So you are the hostess with the mostess.

This is the hostess tonight. Hostess with the mostess.

And she got a cute face and a banging bod. Okay.

Don t worry about it.

Don t worry about it. we re doing it.

But serious note, the work that you ve done in this state

of New York to legalize surrogacy.

Can we just talk about that for a second?

It s profound. So more than a cute face in a banging body.

Seriously, can you tell us a little bit

more about that and the audience at home

Sure, so I welcomed my twins Hazel and Otis via surrogacy.

I had a rough go of it for five years.

You know, your body is like your car. Stay with me now.

You never know how much you need to maintain things

and what s gonna go wrong unless it does go wrong.

And so when I realized, you know, my body can t do this,

I really thought that my country would help me,

that healthcare would be there for me.

And you know when you find out

that not only is surrogacy not legal in New York

and other states, you know, it s not covered by insurance.

And so, I don t know why

it feels like you have to be punished in order

to want a family through alternative family planning.

But you know, through Andy Cohen s help, we lobbied

and marched and stomped in Albany.

And now gestational surrogacy is legal.

And so yeah, I want everybody

to have a chance to have a family.

If that s what you want. I want that for you.

Michelle, Michelle, I have a question [indistinct]

I have a question. You are so confident.

Look, you are doing this kind of things like advocate, like

surrogacy and all these things, you are funny in a stage.

What advice would you give a 15 year old

who is shy and timid, a woman.

Not to put you on the spot right there.

Oh my goodness!

Make it good they re watching.

No, that s okay. I mean like,

Because a woman like you, it s like we need

to study people like you. Were you always like this?

No, I was a shy, insecure, 15 year old

because I, you know, that s how society raised me to be.

[Hosts in unison] Yes.

And so for me, I would love

to tell any 15 year old boy, girl

or non-binary royalty, you know, you matter.

Your voice matters. People will try to tell you

that you re annoying, you re not.

Whatever you get made fun of, that s your special gift.

That s your special sauce.

Oh, I like that.

Yeah. And don t tell yourself no

before someone tells you no.

Before we even put ourself out there, whether it s dating,

whether it s a job you want.

Hi Amber. Whether it s, whatever it is you want to do,

Just do it.

As long as you re a good human being.

As long as you re a good person

and you tip well and you wash under your fingernails.

[all laugh]

Okay. I love that. We love that so much.

Michelle, we can can t wait to see you on the stage.

Can we go low? Can we go low?

Oh my God. Yeah, no music.

You guys don t drug test here, so here we are.

Thank you so much my love, we re so excited.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Oh, I see Gina.

Oh my god, this one! Bye.

Guys one of the honorees here.

Yes, we Gina.

My love, my triumph, my horse Barbie.

Yes. Horse Barbie.

We love obsessed,

obsessed with the book. Just your story,

can we just take a minute here?

Your story from being growing Philippines, pageant queen,

fashion model icon, I mean author, everything, everything in

between your story is just truly magic, triumphant.

Can you tell us a little bit more about everything

you re doing, advocacy and whatnot,

and just what, how, what you re feeling

right now, being here tonight.

Oh, I feel so amazing right now.

Glamour Woman of the Year.

Girl you got it. You deserve.

I mean it s such a big year,

you know, releasing my memoir, Horse Barbie

and to really share my story growing up in the Philippines,

to moving to America, you know,

as a young trans person dreaming about

what was possible for me

and to actually be here.

I mean, you re a trailblazer

because you had no one to look up to.

Yeah. And that s the importance

of representation, right?

I mean to and to do that and to explore that

and to share that story from my own point of view

it was so, so, so important.

And if you haven t seen it, the Ted Talk

that broke all, broke the mold for Ted Talk.

I mean beautiful. What was that? 2014?

It was so authentic. I shake when I watch it.

You have to watch it.

YouTube it. So what are you,

what else are you feeling here tonight?

Is there anyone else,

a fellow honoree, anyone that you re excited to meet?

Yeah, you know, I m excited to see America Ferrera,

I haven t seen her in a while.

You know, we re good friends.

You know, she s also, I have

to say talking about like supporting women.

She s been a big, big support in my journey.

I remember when she launched an initiative called Harness,

which is combining activism and Hollywood

and as a storyteller

and someone who s been in the front lines.

I mean she really took purpose to like another level.

You know, the advocacy of trans people.

And then when I released my book Horse Barbie, she s one of

of the first person that truly supported that.

So I really appreciate that

Glamour was the first people to interview on that.

That s in follow up, right? To the Ted Talk.

You mentioned Ted Talk, I mean like when...

It was Glamour first.

When that Ted Talk went viral,

that s been viewed close

to 5 million times translated in 32 languages.

You know something simple like that.

Just not a big deal. Not a big deal.

Your book Horse Barbie, it s very explanatory

but quick question, like quick second to tell us

how do you land with that title?

cause I m sure you had many?

I will of course. No Horse Barbie

because growing up in the Philippines,

when I started competing in trans beauty pageants when I was

15, I reached the top of

that very competitive world so quick.

And you could imagine the jealous girls

around you could imagine the you know,

everywhere the fans all the entourage right?

In the Philippines, they started calling me like,

I look like a horse as a derogatory thing

to distract me. Right?

But they re majestic. Horses are majestic.

Exactly. And before I knew that,

but then one day my trans pageant manager Tiger Lily,

who s very instrumental in my life, she saw me on stage

and she said, you know what, you actually look like a

Horse Barbie on stage.

So it s a reclamation of that.

I m gonna go farther and even say Unicorn Barbie

because baby you have it all.

You are magic. We are so excited to have you here.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

We re gonna see congratulations in advance.

And we can t wait to see you tonight.

We re coming inside. Yeah. We re gonna come

inside and party with you.

Thank you so much, lovely, thank you.

Gorgeous.

Okay, next up we have a very familiar face.

The one the only and idol to us.

Miss Kenya Moore.

Get over here, get over here, you gotta fan club baby.

You guys are my babies. Hi,

I know, we are.

This is mother.

The mother of mother.

Show our viewer what you ll wearing tonight.

Oh yes. Honey. Twirl a little.

Yes. Twirl a little, twirl a little.

Yes.

[Indistinct] said earlier that I m Gone With The Wind

fabulous a little earlier.

Oh you did?

You know it s a little Gone With the Wind.

Yes. You guys look so beautiful.

I m so proud to see you.

We love you so, so, so much.

Thank you.

Saw her in Vegas guys. We were with her.

Yes. She gave me a ride.

BravoCon was amazing.

You thought I wasn t gonna give you a ride, but I did.

And then you tried to look for me to take me to Usher.

I can t believe I missed a call to go to Usher with you.

And I didn t get a chance to meet you while I was there.

I was too shy. I was too shy.

So tonight everyone is here.

Every everyone.

If you would give, I m trying to ask whoever I can,

especially the confident girls,

A 15 year old you, an advice, what would that be?

Always be your authentic self.

Never conform. Never pretend to be someone you re not.

Yeah. Just be unapologetically you all the time.

That has been the theme tonight. Be your authentic self.

Yes. It s the year of that, like no more pretending.

We re not trying to fit in. You make your own lane.

Is Brooklyn here with you?

No, I wish she was.

We could have had a little mini me moment.

She just celebrated her birthday.

Yes. Five. My only daughter,

my only child just turned five,

I can t believe it.

You are like blushing when you re talking about her.

I know. She s so special. I m just, you know, it s hard

to leave her because sometimes she cries,

you know, when are you coming home?

So of course you get that little mom guilt situation.

But yeah, she s been pretty good.

Her birthday party is on Saturday,

so she s happy. You re at Woman of the Year,

I m sure she ll understand that.

Yes. And she always tells

me, mommy, you look so beautiful.

So, you know, coming from your child is so special to hear.

Beautiful. Beautiful. And you are an icon.

We know your daughter thinks you re an icon.

We are so excited to have you tonight.

Thank you so much my love.

Sorry, we fan girl ed.

We ll see you tonight.

Yeah. We ll see you inside.

They gave us a ticket.

Yes, baby. Love you. Love you.

Oh, hello! Hi. How are you?

So nice to see you.

So nice to see you again. Oh my. Okay.

We all cleaned a lot different than we did earlier.

We look a lot different than we look earlier. Okay.

I mean, Obama put her on. Oh yeah. When you make

Obama s playlist, Obama list, you re good.

You re pretty good. I tried to get tickets to your tour.

It was sold out. So we re very excited.

You can just call me now. You know where to find me.

Well, no, I m gonna see you tonight baby.

cause guess who s performing, what?

I m so excited to open the show.

I mean, just to be here in general.

There s so many cool ass women everywhere.

Which you are one of them.

That s why you re here opening the show.

Back at you guys.

No, this is amazing.

Thank you. Can you tell us

what you are wearing today?

I m wearing Bode.

Emily Bode s one of my favorite female designers.

And so it was sort of an obvious

who I wanted to be wearing at this event.

Is this what you re gonna wear once

you perform today or you changing?

I m gonna wear this on stage.

Oh, you re gonna wear this?

[oooh in unison]

You heard it here.

You re gonna have to take it off me.

Like pry it off me at the end.

When you look this good, you don t wanna change baby.

There s no need.

I m trying to wear this tomorrow to the supermarket.

Oh my god. Maggie and your jewelry. Oh my God.

Oh, thank you. I mean.. Stunning.

Thanks guys.

What was preparation today like, were you nervous?

Sound check earlier. You know, I m, a massive

Mary J Blige fan.

Oh my God. And so

in soundcheck I saw I m performing literally like five

or six feet from her.

So there was a moment in soundcheck where I was like,

okay, like, here we go.

Are you gonna like put a little Mary J?

Oh my God.

No, no, no. Mary J is the only one

who can possibly do Mary J.

I think hip hop and folklore totally,

that s the mashup everyone needs in 2023.

I agree. But I m gonna let her do her thing.

I m gonna do mine and I m just going to bow down

and respect every inch of her.

I am nervous if she she walks here.

If she comes to us, I think I m gonna hide on Brynn s dress.

You re gonna crush. I m gonna be okay.

We re gonna all be great.

We re all gonna be okay.

The kids are all all right.

Everyone s got each other s back. Oh gosh.

We re in good company.

We re very, very happy to be here.

We didn t even believe we got this job. I was like great.

Oh, come on.

Until we finish this,

We don t know we are doing the job.

No, you guys are crushing.

No, we are very happy.

Thank you so much.

So thank you guys so much. All right.

Thank you. You gotta go start.

You gotta get in there and start.

You re about to perform.

[indistinct]

I love that you re just chilling here

and you re about to perform.

You know what, the worst thing in the world

is when it s time to go

and you have 10 minutes to wait

and you re just standing there like, oh god.

Okay get in there, you re going to be amazing.

Okay. Yes. Whoops. Schoochie over.

I can t see my feet.

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music continues]

And we are back here at the

2023 Glamour Woman of the Year Awards red carpet.

As you can see, the carpet is on fire.

And next up we have two amazing guests. Oh my God.

I just saw Brooke Shields.

Is that what, I m frozen and I m frozen.

Okay. We have Amiria and Olivia next.

Okay. But I also see two hotties.

Come on girls.

I know everyone s, yeah,

I know. I think, I think Amelia and Olivia.

You know what? We re all freaking out. Can we spring over?

I m gonna panic. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God.

Hello.

I m going to give you a hug really quick.

Hello, Brooke Shields.

Look how beautiful you are.

We re gonna try to keep it together.

Everything. Oh my God. You smell good. You look beautiful.

Thank you so very, I mean, who is talking?

I like, we reflect, we re seeing ourself in you.

You are iconic.

I m just still around. I am still around.

Oh, you knock it off. Actor, advocate, podcast host,

author, documentary film...

I mean, you name it. She s doing it all.

Best friend.

Best friend.

And ... mom.

Mother of two teen girls.

Mom of two gorgeous teen girls.

We were talking about this earlier and we wanna know

you are raising two teen girls

and there s so many of the audience watching today,

what advice would you give to your teen girls

or even to the, our 15 year old Brooke?

Oh gosh, listen...

We want them to see you.

Oh God, I m sorry.

I thought the ex was this way.

I take orders very well.

No, they re over there.

I do what I m told to do. Listen to your kids

and talk to them.

I mean, I think everybody talked

to me when I was your age,

but I don t think anybody listened to me.

So I think that that s the, you have

to have the confidence to be able to speak what you need

and your truth so that someone will hear you.

That wasn t in my generation.

Don t talk at them.

Right. Talk to them and listen.

I get most of my information if I m driving and

I don t drive very well or cook very well,

but when I m driving, as long as I don t make eye contact

with my children, it s like being in the wild. They don t

get nervous and they don t wanna attack me.

And then they start talking

and then I start getting information.

So get a car. Even if you re in the city and just drive

around to get information from them.

So Brynn and I are not mothers yet

and we really want to be moms.

Oh, you will. If you want to, you will.

Thank you.

It s just wanna say it s a lot of work.

It s not just a lot of work. Like if people, yeah,

it s a lot of work,

but you know hard work, you know hard work.

We all know hard work. That s not the issue.

The issue is just that they re there forever.

And they re your children And you worry for them.

You never stopped worrying.

No. Now my daughter s away.

Yeah. My other one s going to college

and now they re just big kids, big problems.

Like with your mom, you ll never grow.

They never stop worrying, ever, ever, ever.

Well we know that they re not worried about you

because you are being honored.

You are an icon and a legend

and just your daughters [indistinct]

but everyone, I mean, I think it s safe

to say every single woman in the world looks up to you.

You re just so amazing.

And your documentary and everything, your book.

So inspirational, so incredible. Thank you for that.

Is there anyone aside from, you know, any other honoree

that you re excited... Except your best friend.

Oh no. I see your best friend over there.

Well my bestie is over there. But you know what?

Every single honoree in past years in this year,

I m so, I m giddy to be up in, in their company.

I mean they are such necessary and valuable women.

And if you had told me this when I was 15,

when I was first on the cover of Glamour,

that I would one day be here at 58.

I would not have even,

I would ve thought you were speaking a different language.

God plan. God plan. When God has

planned, nobody can stand.

Exactly.

Yes, God plans. We are so excited.

Well done ladies, you ve done a brilliant job.

This is not an easy thing to do. And thank you.

No, thank you my love. Thank you.

Well that s good. I ll see you in there then.

We ll have a toast.

Thank you. Love. Thank you.

Thank you. Oh my God. Brynn,

How am I supposed to? [indistinct]

Can you imagine?

By the way guys, she s stunning.

Stunning. How do you I couldn t speak.

Her eyes are like,

It s just the energy too.

Like I just want her to be my mom. Isn t that creepy?

She s incredible. By the way, did you see her body?

Did you see how she looked?

Body, yaddi.

She s so lovely and kind. You know,

it s one thing you see people

which, I ve never met her before,

so you see people in TV or movies or magazines,

you re like, oh, she s pretty,

but like that in person, you meet them

and they just feel larger than life.

She feels like an icon.

So I guess it makes sense that she s being honored tonight.

Guys, that was Brooke Shields.

Like I can t, I just cannot.

We have to stop freaking out after we see everybody.

You gotta be here to believe.

But you are here. You are here.

Next year you gotta make sure you one of you getting the

Glamour Woman of the Year.

We re gonna do our best

Amazing. Yes.

What are you wearing? What shoes do you have on today?

You re gonna stop rubbing my shoes in my face. Okay.

After this we I feel short right now,

I m like, what s going on? After this

we could always do like a volleyball intermural team.

Does Glamour have an intermural team?

We can just do volleyball, basketball.

I m just gonna stick to like standing pretty.

We have college women of the year here too.

We can just all form a team.

We ll joim the team. We ll join the team.

It ll be great. Stunning.

Who like, what are you guys wearing?

I m wearing Marchesa. This is Marchesa.

Stunning, gorgeous we love feathers, crystals, diamonds.

I m wearing Laquan Smith. Laquan Smith.

You can tell that from a miles away.

And I was thinking, I was like, wait, who am I

wearing? Who am I wearing? And I was looked down and

I was like, wait babe, it s obvious.

You just have to look down

and remember you re like, oh that s Laquan.

[indistinct]

What are you guys wearing? Elizabeth Kennedy.

I m wearing at Eight Oxen.

We love it.

Is there anyone in particular that you guys,

this is gonna be like a room jam packed full of icons.

Is there anyone that you particularly have your eye on

that you saw in this gorgeous line?

I see a lot of faces, anyone

you re particularly excited to meet tonight?

Any specific icon?

I m lesbian. So this is like a perfect dating pool for me

to be honest. What about you?

Honestly for me,

I think I m really excited to be surrounded with so many

Women, but Lauren Sanchez is behind me

and I think she s a literal legend.

We follow each other on Instagram

and I can t wait to say hi to her.

I love that.

We love it. We love it. We love it. Okay.

Who inspires you or who inspired you growing up?

Wow. Josephine Scriver and Alexis Ren.

That s a good one.

Those are like the reason why

I literally wanted to become a model. So now I m here.

There you go. Now you re here.

I think for me it would be my mom.

I think she s like the most

incredible woman I ve ever known.

Don t make me start crying.

She s the IT girl. We love her.

I love that you just called your mom an IT girl.

Let s, let s make that normal calling mom s IT girls.

That s genius. Absolutely genius.

Nine months in their stomach. They are IT girl.

True.

Share rent. Rent free for nine months.

You guys look stunning, stunning. We re coming inside.

We re coming in. We ll see you inside.

Thank you guys so much.

Bye

Bye,, bye, bye.

Rue is here.

Okay, next up you guys.

We have Glamour editor Rue. Come here.

And Rue is with the College Women of the Year.

Oh my gosh, Rue.

I know, it s so exciting.

So, so exciting. So exciting.

Thank you, happy to be here.

We re all in our black and white, it s incredible.

You look very business today.

Thank you. I know, I m like, see girls.

You have a little bit the Beyonce,

she has diamonds all over.

Renaissance Era.

So before we bring out these amazing, amazing rock stars,

can you tell us a little bit about

the College Women of the Year?

Absolutely. So College Women of the Year we ve been doing

for 60 plus years, it s our way

of recognizing the next generation of women, right?

So the game changers, the youth.

And so this year we decided why not

celebrate women in sports, right?

So we are honoring college athletes this year

and it s an incredible moment to also

recognize our college honorees that are here today.

Well, amazing.

Well, I can t even play tennis so I m gonna exit stage left

and I m gonna let you bring up these

amazing, amazing athletes.

Thank you Brynn.

Hi. Hi. Hi. So we are here with our College Women

of the Year honorees.

We have Lydia Jacoby, we have

Britain Wilson, we have Sydney Moore,

and we have Riley McCusker.

Ladies, how are y all feeling today?

[all say good in unison]

Yeah, so I m gonna ask y all a couple fun questions.

Let s start you off with Britain.

Britain, tell me a little bit about what is the song

that pumps you up before a game?

Anything. Ariana Grande.

Ah, okay. Ariana Grande.

Lydia, tell me a little bit about what s the music that

pumps you up for let s say college.

Let s just talk college in general.

I ve been listening to a lot of Noah Kahn lately.

I just went to ACL in Austin, so that was a lot of fun.

Got to see him live.

Okay. I love that.

And Sydney, tell me who is the woman that inspires you?

Probably like my mom and my nana. It s, maybe it s a tie.

They re both just really strong women

and we have such a close relationship,

so I m always so inspired by them.

I love that. And Riley, one question for you is,

what are you most excited about this evening?

I m just excited to be here

with all these incredible ladies

and I m just so inspired by all of them.

So it s great to be around them tonight.

I love that. And I guess another question

for y all s sports specific talk about what is the, in

as little words as you can put it,

but like as a phrase, what s the one thing

that you want the world to know about why recognizing,

celebrating women in sports is important to you?

So let s start you off.

Okay, hard question,

but I mean, there s so many reasons I think

that women have been very underestimated in sports.

So it s incredible to be here tonight to kind

of pump up women in sports

and show what we can really be capable of.

Absolutely. And we re celebrating and pumping you all up.

Yeah, absolutely.

Bouncing off of what she said, I think we work really hard

and we go through a lot that people don t see

and we have to do stuff that men don t have to deal with,

like periods and having babies

and just a ton of stuff that makes being a woman

and athlete so much harder.

So it s great to honor that and express how hard we work.

Keeping it real is one thing too.

I think confidence.

There s so many good things that come from playing sports

and confidence is one of them no matter how long you play

or how good you are at your sport.

So that s something I m happy

to celebrate today.

Incredible, and Riley.

I think it s so important

to celebrate female athletes

and just acknowledge all the hard work

that they put into their sport

and really just being able to have them express their selves

and their individuality through their sport.

I love that. And thank you all so much.

We re so excited to be celebrating you all today

and I hope you all have a lovely evening.

Thank you. Thank you.

[upbeat music]

Hello. Welcome back to the 2023 Glamour Woman of the Year.

Next up we have an extraordinary special guest, one

of our honorees who is getting our daring award.

We re so excited to bring over Selma Blair. Hello.

Hello. How are you?

I am very well.

This is exciting to be out at such a big event.

I mean this is so exciting. I was looking for Scout

didn t see Scout.

I know. This is really one

of my first times away from my service dog.

And I was like, okay, I have enough people watching me.

I have my, I have my cane.

I m okay, but I really, I really miss him.

But I thought I d give the women a break

and we wouldn t get some dog hair on all our...

Well we were gonna let him get on our dress.

Everyone s just gonna be like, you know?

Right.

You know when there s a dog around,

nobody s seeing anybody.

That s true. He always steals the focus.

Well Selma, you are an actress, advocate

and what you have done, truly, a author,

amazing what you have done.

I mean, everything that you ve done as far as awareness

and advocacy for disabilities.

Right. And it s not just the 61 million Americans,

Disabled Americans,

What you have done has truly touched and opened the eyes

and hearts of all Americans.

So good that something could be relatively

effortless when you are supported.

And I really was supported by the disability community

from the get go, which is such an unusual feeling

because you know, always we kind of have

to like pay our dues

and it s like, no, you ve paid your dues your whole life.

Like, and it was a really, the women that came

before me, and they re actually on my sweater this evening,

Wait, oh, Alice, Maria, Judy...

Judy Human who is the disability rights really started the

ADA and the Rehab Acts.

ADA, the American Disabilities Act. Judy Human.

You wanna just turn around.

Yeah, turn this way, I m gonna hold the mic.

Okay.

So there s Judy Human who passed away this past year,

but means so much

and such really the organizer and champion of it all.

And Burke,

who I was actually on the British Vogue covers with

for the disability issues.

And she s an amazing, amazing voice

and fashionista and tilting the lens.

And Alice Wong and Keely Catwells

and Andrea Levant, who s been my consultant and,

and she has Levant consulting.

There s so many avenues that I did not know that were open

to me and so many people to really keep this ball rolling

and create new advantages.

But Selma, you have to be so proud of you

because most of the time as human, when we have, you know,

hardship in our life, some of us just fold.

Right? You didn t, you went...

I think when I spent so many years really unhappy

and knowing that my body wasn t right

and never being validated, that was much worse for me

than getting a diagnosis.

Even if it meant bigger treatments

and things that I still undergo for the rest of my life.

Having the validation

and then realizing I could be a comfort

or part of a voice for the community

or you know, a touchstone

or my interest in the clothes with Isaac and QVC.

Like just bringing it to a bigger audience that, you know,

I wasn t as aware of before my own.

We salute you. We salute you.

Your story is just resiliency...

Advocacy for all of us,

cause we re all bound to be disabled at one point.

Yes. That s the truth.

We have to care for each other.

That s really it.

It s so humbling experience.

Oh no, thank you so much.

Selma thank you so much and

please give Scout extra treats for us tonight.

Oh, I will, I will. I miss him.

We do too.

Thank you, Selma Blair.

I m like getting weak.

Okay. That was Sam Blair.

For her to take her pain,

and change it and makes something.

It s literally a story of resilience.

It s exactly what this event means tonight.

I see gorgeous Anna Sophia. Get over here, baby.

I mean, this is the best.

Oh my goodness. It s so nice to meet both

of you in real life.

I mean you are the quadruple threat.

We got actress, model, singer

you do it all. You do it all. How do you do it?

What inspires you? What empowers you?

Before you ask that, I m just, do you wanna

switch the outfit?

Because this I ve never seen. It is stunning.

You know, I ve never worn a train before,

but I figured it s Glamour it s women.

If you gonna wear a train...

It s Glamour, we gotta do the glamour.

It s Emlia Wickstead and I love her.

And the fact that it s not wrinkled

don t know who s taking care of this.

This is amazing.

I laid down in the...I was like, don t move.

That s what sprinter vans are for. Okay.

You are such an inspiration.

Who inspires you?

Who inspires me?

Can you face this way so they can...

Yes. so sorry. So sorry. Hello. Yes.

I am an actor and I know where cameras go.

And camera.

I d say all of the women here.

I mean Selma Blair I ve watched her forever.

And she s such a striking woman

and she s so vocal

and powerful and holds herself with such grace.

And I think like this event is so lovely.

Like the energy, everyone seems very calm.

And it s a celebration of like women and empowerment.

Like one is so accomplished.

I feel like I wanna go home and run...

Raquel Willis.

I just saw her and I love her.

I see her at events and it was like,

we re just chit chatting in line.

Yeah, it s really tremendous

to be surrounded by so many fabulous women.

We don t wanna hold you. Yes.

I don t wanna hold you.

No, no. We don t wanna hold you

because you should see how many people already passed.

We adore you and we cannot... please,

we are coming inside. I don t know what they were thinking

to give us a job and a seat over there.

And we re coming inside.

Okay, see you soon.

Thank you so much.

You look stunning. Thank you.

I want this skirt.

I love a dramatic skirt.

Malin. Hi. Oh my, how are you?

You know what? The last time

actually I was at your house swimming in your pool.

What?

With Shannon? Like years ago. I was like, the last

time was I was at your house and I think I jumped

into the pool and it was kind of shallow.

Off the deck?

Yeah, off the deck. I jumped off the deck into your pool.

How have you been?

I m good. How are you?

Amazing. So great to see you, welcome.

Thank you, it s so great to be here.

You are a vision. A vision.

Thank you.

So I have a little tiny small business.

And I know a little thing about you.

You support international business

Yes, yes.

Opportunity for Africa. Tell a little bit about that

Opportunity International In Africa?

Yes. It s all over the world.

All of my insight trips have been to Africa

and Nicaragua as well.

But it is a wonderful organization

that supports mainly women and,

and helping them with small businesses and micro loans.

And they re wonderful

because they also give you business acumen.

They give you business courses.

So they actually get to learn how

to operate small businesses.

I mean, you are teaching people to fish the fish.

I mean, I m helping to bring it

to the world, but I m not teaching them.

I m sorry your middle name is Philanthropy, LA Mission.

And when I lived in LA you were on every board, everything.

Philanthropy is literally your middle name.

Like what, what is your latest org or thing?

Please plug one of them.

cause you re in so many and it s amazing how you

so selflessly give your time and your energy.

Well, my main mission in life is really mental health.

And mainly for children.

And on our sleeves is a new organization

that I ve been working with to bring attention

to mental health, especially for children

because they don t tend

to wear their heart on their sleeves.

We don t know what they re thinking.

And so we need to start conversations with them.

And on their website, they really share

all these conversation starters

that you can start with your children.

They have curriculums for, you know, teachers

and mentors alike.

That can help you start conversations.

But it s just a wonderful organization.

You must go to bed feeling very happy.

Mental health and children, I wanna get involved.

Please tell me where to sign up. Truly.

I would absolutely love to.

That s very close to me.

Okay. So I m gonna text Shannon after this.

Tell her we said hi and then we saw you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you ladies. Have fun tonight.

Enjoy tonight.

Enjoy this disco queen.

I will. Thank you. Goodnight.

Amazing, amazing.

I also just want everybody s outfits.

That s what s really hard about this is like,

to see people and, but then also

I m like, I wanna wear that.

I mean, they re so accomplished and so beautiful

and we are just finding them.

We don t even care what they re wearing. I know.

Which is bad cause we re in a red carpet.

They re too much accomplished.

It s amazing.

Pinch me again.

Pinch, pinch, pinch, pinch, pinch.

I m gonna pinch you again,

I m gonna pinch you here and not your bum.

And in the meantime then I m also gonna bring in an

amazing, amazing honoree.

Quinta, can you please come over?

Oh, he s got money. Oh, he got money.

How annoying when everyone says that.

Twirl! Twirl?

You gotta twirl.

You gotta show off our people. Oh my God. That ponytail.

Amazing.

You are not playing.

Amazing. Amazing.

So you are one of our honorees today. We are so excited.

And knowing that your amazing work, I mean comedian,

actress, writer, quadruple threat, knowing

that your mom has also inspired so much of your work,

can you tell us a little bit more about that?

My mom, a wonderful woman. A woman of the year every year

to me. She just was incredible.

I got to watch her do her work when I was in her class,

when I was younger, when I was in kindergarten,

and then for the rest of my elementary schooling.

And she just wound up being a huge inspiration.

It was like all that information got stored in

the back of my brain somewhere.

And when it was time to make a hit TV

show, it kind of poured out.

A hit. It is.

And I mean, mom s inspiration resonates with Ubeh

and I so very much.

Yeah. Oh, we ll start crying if we talk about it.

Yeah, but that s the thing. Woman of the year, every year

I heard you choking a little and I was like, don t do it,

fake lashes.

You would think at this point I

wouldn t choke up about it.

But it s really sweet. And I have some family here

with me today, my sister and my niece.

So I feel a little bit more emotional than normal

because I have my family here

to help me celebrate this amazing honor.

So awesome. Well, you are an icon in and of yourself.

Can you tell us a little bit about what you re wearing?

Yes. I am Donatella Versace from head to toe.

You could just tell right there.

I mean I saw it, but the people at home can t see it.

I wanted people to know that it was Versace, Donatella

because we wanted to wear a woman for this event.

And I wanted to make sure I was a female designer.

So I m very happy to get one of the best

and one of the most iconic.

And I m really, I just love the dress.

We are so happy to be here with you guys.

I don t know what we did to deserve this.

Oh, please. But congratulations.

You deserve every honor.

you re getting. Thank you you much.

Thank you for the show.

And thanks to all the moms out there.

Thank you moms.

Thank you people for watching the show.

Hope you ll come back soon.

Amazing. Thank you Qunita.

Thank you so much. We ll see you inside.

Okay. One of the many reasons why we re here.

I think I spy with my little eye,

the 2023 Global Woman of the Year.

America Ferrera. Come, come, come.

We re so excited. We re gonna implode.

Hi, nice to meet you.

I mean, what is this?

I mean, this is such a full circle moment.

You have presented, you ve been a part of this woman

of the year, year after year.

You ve been a pivotal to this entire

org and now you re being honored.

This is such a full circle moment. How does it feel?

It feels so wonderful. I love this event.

I ve, as you mentioned, I ve had a chance

to attend a couple times.

One year I got to present Malala, her

Glamour Woman of the Year award.

Just little, just little accolades.

I mean, come on.

Incredibly monumental for me.

And it s just such an inspiring event.

I mean, getting to spend a night celebrating badass women

who are doing incredible things.

It gives you all the right feels.

And I m very excited and, and really honored to get to be

one of the

Women of the Year. I m gonna make you

blush for a second.

Your hairdresser, I work with her, Miok.

Miok!

She speaks so highly of you.

cause you know, the makeup artist and

hairdresser, they know everything.

She knows too much about me.

She loves you so much.

She say you are easiest.

Well, this is her work.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Amazing. It s a huge testament.

cause you guys are so busy, busy, go, go.

And when you know, the hair

and makeup speak very highly of you.

It s a testament. We know who you are.

They re honoring you tonight.

But I just think it, it s about time.

Thank you. Thanks so much.

Amazing. Amazing. Okay.

Well, you re the guest of honor,

so maybe we should let you get inside.

Thank, thank you so much for speaking with us.

Thanks so much.

Bye.

I love how we re bowing to people now we re like...

I am like I can t.

Back away slowly.

How do you do like a Queen of England,

when you see the Queen?

Oh yeah, yeah. Just curtsy.

We re gonna a curtsy a little bit.

Huma s here.

Yes, I see.

Hello, hello. Oh my god.

Can we... I think I m to wrangle Humma

in over here because I ve got... Hello?

Yes, you. Hi.

Hello. Lovely to see you.

Lovely to see you.

Hi my love, nice seeing you.

This is your thing. We want you to say hi to our fans.

Hello everybody. Good evening. What an amazing night

to be celebrating.

And so who are you?

Is there anyone here that you re most looking forward

to meeting tonight?

You are an icon in your own right

and amazing advocacy, everything that you work on.

Is there anyone here in particular

that you re excited to meet or see?

You know, what I said to Sam this morning is that I think

of all the years, this is my favorite

because the entire roster of women who are being honored,

both women who have done extraordinary things.

Women who are just starting out in the world,

doing amazing things.

So to see Brooke Shields being honored for

what she s being honored for and America Ferrera

for being a first in many ways.

And then to have Millie Bobby Brown

and this kind of, this young exciting, you know, new

and Mary J Blige, who s an icon.

It s just, it feels like a really right time

to be honoring women.

Well you would know because you are truly

fighting the good fight, the ultimate fight,

everything that you re doing with advocacy

and using your own voice in with Women in Iran.

Can you tell us a little bit more about

what this past year has been like for you?

And maybe this is a joyous occasion,

so maybe what you re looking forward to

or hope for, especially next year, knowing it s gonna be

political, we re not here to talk

politics tonight, we re celebrating.

But what advice would you give to empower women everywhere?

Going into next year,

which might be a little bit of a tough year.

You know, it is gonna be a tough year.

And I think part of it, this is the one year anniversary

of the war, beginning between Hamas and Israel.

And I think it s so important for all of us,

particularly those of us who are mothers, who have children.

We have to answer to our children for decisions

that our leaders are making and that we re making

and what we re advocating for.

And so my heart is

with the people suffering in this humanitarian crisis in

this moment, people in Gaza in particular, the families

who have suffered, who have lost hostages in their families.

But really in this moment, what I m praying for is

that we would have a ceasefire.

That there would be a cessation of hostilities to save

as many lives as possible

because we have to answer to our children.

And I m so glad, Brynn, you asked me about the Woman in Iran

because the Women in Iran,

because that is also something that we have to live

with ourselves and stand up

and fight for democracy on their behalf.

So there s so much in this

world that we have to be worried about.

And I think it s one of the reasons why

what you re doing tonight is celebrating

women who are making change. Thank you.

Thank you. That s exactly, that s exactly...

You know, your boss is here tonight, potentially.

Former boss.

Full circle. Thank you so much.

Thank you for having me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay now we have to breathe.

I m just gonna hide behind you.

She s gonna hide. Do you wanna move here

for a little bit cause this was where your mark.

So, I think I spy the queen of R&B,

Mary J Blige. Please will you join us?

Honoree.

Mary, thank you so, so, so much for being here.

You are absolutely...

Mary, can you please, if you can stand this way

because that s what you are.

Oh, okay. All right, cool.

They need to see this.

Okay.

They need to see this.

Such an amazing honoree.

You are the most celebrated and decorated.

I mean from Grammys to NAACP Music Awards,

American Music Awards, Billboard Icon Awards.

We are just so honored for you to be here.

The icon of icons.

If you don t mind, could we ask how are you feeling tonight?

I m feeling great. I m feeling excellent.

Yay and, and you look amazing.

Is there anyone who you re particularly excited see?

I mean, you re with your peers right now as,

as far as advocacy and everything.

Is there anyone particularly here

that you re excited to?

I mean, I m just excited that we are all here as women

of power doing amazing things,

living amazingly, feeling amazing.

And understanding our power as women.

I m just excited about all of us. That s it.

Amazing. Amazing.

Mary, I ve been asking all these powerful women,

the confident ones,

what advice would you give your 15 year old?

Were you always this confident?

No, I was not. So, the advice

I would give is just accept all of you.

You may not like all of you, but love all of you.

You may not like your personality here or there,

but you are all you have.

So accept and embrace everything about you. Good, bad, ugly,

Whatever it is, it s you.

And if you can see all of you,

you can fix whatever needs to be fixed.

And that s my advice..

If you accept it, they will also.

I just said that.

I have a little funny thing to tell you.

I learned English through your albums.

Really? That s amazing

Because before you had to write lyrics.

They didn t have the lyrics. Right?

Right.

So we had to write it. You like pray a little round

and you listen and you write it down.

Right. So yeah, I learned my English through you.

Oh, that s amazing.

Yes. Thank you. Thank you.

We love you so much.

You re very welcome.

Yes, thank you. Congratulations.

Thank you very much.

You re welcome.

You look stunning, stunning.

[all laughing]

All right. Thank you.

Bye Mary.

Amazing, okay, we re doing it.

I think I need, like, a shot of water.

Like Fiji or something.

I feel like we can pick, I mean, there s our sea

of influential most important people in world.

Oh my God. I also see Karen.

Hide my phone. Hide my phone. Karen is here.

Hello. Hello.

How are you?

[women make kissing noises]

Please show this outfit. Bonjour.

Bonjour. And how are you doing?

So excited to be here tonight.

So great to celebrate women. So great to be glamorous.

So great to bring in some optimism and,

and hopefulness.

It s a challenging time that we re in, in this world,

so it s great to be here.

Did you do your morning show today?

No. The morning show.

No, I can t talk about the show.

[women laughing]

There s a little bit of like a breakdown.

Can you hear me now? What about that?

I think the Internet s breaking, everybody s wireless

just paused. Nobody hear that.

Tell us about your outfit tonight.

Okay so this is Brandon Maxwell and Mishka on the bottom.

And these shoes, which are my favorite are

Yves Saint Laurent, in my favorite color in purple.

Yes. Thank you so much for that.

Amazing. We love it. We love it.

He is here tonight, Brandon Maxwell is here.

Yeah, he s right behind you.

Yes. Yes. Is there anyone in particular

that you are excited to see or that...

You know, I m so, I m just so excited to vibe tonight

with you guys, with women, with Quinta Brunson,

who I love and Mary j Blige,

who we both love and we all love and,

but it s really great just to be in a room with women

and supporting and loving on each other

and, you know, lifting each other up.

So that for me is what I love to do.

I have three wonderful sisters

and so it s really great to be in a room with women.

Speaking of sisters, Qunita was talking about her mom

and she was a little bit teared up.

We were scared that our lashes gonna fall off.

[Karen laughs]

Tell us a little bit about your mom.

Oh what a great question.

My mother was a force of nature. She was a scientist.

She worked with NASA she worked with nuclear technology.

She s an amazing, amazing woman.

I think about her every day.

Everything I do every day is what she taught me.

So that s where you get it.

Yeah. Exactly.

You are literally glowing speaking about her.

She was an amazing, amazing woman.

I wish you could have met her

because you would love her.

Don t make me cry, don t start.

Okay. We have to get you out here

cause you re making us cry.

No I m just joking.

No crying guys.

No crying. We re celebrating. We re celebrating.

But we re also honoring the women here.

We re honoring the women that can t be here.

D all the above.

Honoring women and that s what Glamour does.

Yes. That is what glamour does.

Every page is about honoring women.

They accomplish, these people have, I m like,

we re gonna run marathon next week.

We just have to.

I know, but you have to talk to Bettina

who just finished the marathon, the New York Marathon and

And what an amazing evening to celebrate women

Amazing. Well, you are an actor and advocate and you are

the most amazing for animal rescue and

Cause it s one of many, you know, entrepreneur

philanthropists, but I m obsessed as a dog lover.

I m puppy obsessed. Crazy.

Can you tell us a little bit about your

and everyone at home, about the advocacy

and the rescue that you do?

Yes, I foster animals for my local shelters

a

and show them the love

And you know, it s a huge passion of mine

and I would like to be their voice

I think you are.

I think you are. And I speak dog, so I would know.

Yes, exactly.

Amazing.

Well you are a guest of honor so we have to push you inside.

But thank you so much for talking with us and have fun.

Congrats

And we are coming inside so save us a dance.

And congratulations. Bye bye.

Oh my God. Ayo s here.

Hey girl. Hey, come here my love. How are you?

I mean, not just a it girl. The it girl.

You have chopped, diced, sauteed and souffled

into everyone s hearts.

How do you feel being here tonight?

I m very excited. I m gonna be presenting for

Quinta Brunson.

Who is,

Your bestie.

Yeah, I mean, just one of my favorite

human beings to ever be born.

No offense, obviously.

Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely.

But I m just really, really happy to get to be here

for her and with so many all so amazing...

Literally Mariska Hargitay and Lindsay Lohan are in my

eye line. That s not Lindsay Lohan. [indistinct]

It was a redhead woman.

They all look the same.

That s Samantha.

And that was amazing to just think

Lindsay Lohan could be here.

These are the sorts of things.

Hollywood s a beautiful town.

Speaking of Lindsay Lohan.

Tell us about your Beyonce situation.

[Ayo laughs]

How was it?

It was amazing. That s another woman who I m so

grateful was born.

Quinta and I went with our friend Taylor Garrin

and we all wore silver and it was just a dream.

Did you guys was it mute?

Was it mute challenge. Did you guys want that?

We, I think we did pretty good.

I don t know if everybody was on

mute, but a lot of people were on.

And you gotta celebrate that a win is a win.

Well, thank you so much for being here.

Thank you for speaking with us and thank you. All right.

Thank you so much. You look stunning.

Lisa Ann. Hi. Hello.

You re both so stunning and gorgeous.

Don t I love you.

No, you re beautiful, beautiful.

You re so kind.

I wanna take you out and feed you bagels. Both of you.

Yeah, but we don t scoop them.

We re from New York, so we don t scoop them.

We eat the right way.

We do not scoop. We eat the whole thing.

You have worked on a variety of women rights.

I know that you re here to see your bestie,

your colleague

And my boss.

Your colleague, and your boss.

No pressure.

Your bestie mostly.

But you have worked on such a broad range

from feminist issues, women rights issues.

Is there anything that you would like

to share with our Glamour fans?

Anything that you re currently actively involved in?

Sure. Okay.

Not to put you on the spot.

Absolutely. No. You, you can.

So as you said, I m the chair of the women s committee

for SAG Aftra, for the performers union.

And I did a lot of work with them to let people know

what the changing laws are across the country in regards

to reproductive rights.

So now there s an interactive map on our landing page.

And now we can travel women to a safe state

if they find themselves in an emergency.

So I was really proud of that.

If I do nothing else, but that s not all.

And wait, there s more.

So I m on the board of the ERA coalition.

I have been marching and fighting for the ERA to be passed

since I was a kid.

Stop. In the 70s.

Is that from home?

Yeah, I grew up, I grew up in DC.

So I was always very political, very active.

And it just didn t make sense to me

that women didn t have equal rights guaranteed

under the constitution.

That s weird.

They told me to look at that camera,

but that looks like the one I should be using.

You can do whatever you want.

The important thing is that it is,

has been ratified, it s been passed in all the states.

It needs to, but they just have

to take off this phony baloney timeline

that they put on it years ago.

And we just need a couple more people

to allow that to happen.

Well, you got two right here. So count us in.

We re very hardworking people.

Are you gonna be, go right from here

and get elected to the house

and then we ll be good.

Okay. Done and done. I mean, it s election day so

that we ve got something to do after here.

I m not gonna the wrap party, we re gonna go and do that.

Okay. Let s do it. I mean, listen...

No, maybe the after, after party. Come on.

After the after party, after the after, after.

Then we go, we go to this thing

that they introduced a hundred years ago.

People don t realize that,

that the ERA was introduced a hundred years ago.

The same year that they invented the cheeseburger,

Mickey Mouse and frozen food.

Okay. So again...

They ve all made it.

_ They ve all made it

so, you know, just a little bit more important,

If we put women s rights on a burger, we d have it by now.

Okay. That s, that s also gonna be on our agenda. Right.

I just want a woman to run the world. That s what I want.

Okay.

I think the woman who s gonna run the world

next is actually here.

Okay. That s what we want.

Thank you so, so much.

You re so welcome lady.

Thank you so much.

Okay. Get inside. Go have fun. Oh, I love that go Glamour.

That s gonna be our new thing.

Thank you. It was lovely, I love your show so much.

And next up we have Miss Lauren, miss London.

Miss Lauren girl. You look amazing.

How are you doing tonight?

I m doing great tonight.

Absolutely. You look amazing. Is there, we have to know.

Is there anyone, you have done actress activists

and you have done so much in the work for gun control.

Is there anyone else here

that you re particularly looking forward to meeting

or seeing or maybe even already met in the line?

Yeah. Mary J Blige.

I m a huge fan of MJB,

so every time I see her I m just

like,

I mean, we were screaming.

I was shaking my boots now. Sweating like, yeah.

And you guys, I m watching the show, so...

Oh, thank you.

Come on please. You don t have to lie to us.

No, I swear to God I watched the show. Absolutely,

I m a big housewife fan. Yes!

Thank you. Thank you.

Maybe we found our seventh housewife.

I think, I think we just need

a Lauren London to be Lauren in New York.

Can you please just look at the camera

to see your beauty?

You are honestly, you know, there s a lot

of beautiful people in the world.

The one that have inside also you can see.

Oh, you are literally glowing.

She only speaks the truth.

That is the ultimate compliment for me.

cause I believe it s from the soul out.

So do you, you re gorgeous

I can feel it. Oh God bless you.

And I m gonna find you tonight.

Okay.

We re gonna have some fun.

We ve gotta call some people. We need to...

I smell a seventh housewife over here.

Oh, God bless you.

Thank you Lauren. Thank you so much.

Okay. We re gonna find you inside. Okay. Oh girl.

And we got answers and gossip. All right. And I see Aoki.

Hello my love. Come, come, come. How are you?

Good.

I haven t won. Well, I haven t seen you.

I don t remember since St. Barts.

Please stand this way.

I was with you New Year s Eve with Emma.

Remember we re hanging out. Fireworks were going off.

And I was running around making sure

that your dog was not hurt

by the fireworks.

That was such a fun year.

It was fun. New year s eve is always fun.

Yeah, I know, right?

So how, how are you doing

and what actually, you know what my question is for you?

We all know your mother s an icon.

What s it like growing up in an icon

and what s it like turning, you re an icon in of itself.

This girl graduated from Harvard at the age of 20.

Like who does it?

Oh you re all way up girl. Okay. So...

Started early.

Some people, like when they re all,

like few years are done.

I will say I m not super scared doing this.

cause growing up my mom she d always say, yeah.

Oh those are not guys with cameras,

those are mommy s friends.

Just say hi, Aoki.

I was like, hi guys.

You also have a little accent,

like a little British accent

Boarding school.

There you go. She s so chic. I literally can hear.

Boarding school, it was boarding school.

Oh, girl we love it.

She s all about the level up for her children.

She didn t get to go to school, she was like,

you gonna go to Switzerland, you re gonna go wherever.

So I m very grateful.

She is an icon.

You are an icon and you have done so much.

Just you, you have, I don t know

anyone else who s taken Instagram

and just used it as a platform

for racial justice, for climate change.

What don t you...

Actually I m gonna make you

name something that you don t do.

There s nothing.

She s not in a club.

I don t snowboard. I don t snowboard.

She doesn t snowboard.

I don t free climb.

I rock climb but I use ropes. I m not crazy.

Okay. That s pretty much it.

That s what I thought, okay.

Or any of that. According to my mom

the issue is I m not a doctor,

but like we ll get there eventually.

Okay, okay, okay.

We can we we can get over that one.

We can go over it.

Thank you so much.

I m so excited to be here right now.

And can I just talk about

how amazing you guys look?

I mean, thank you.

I mean, you are one of our favorite-

Is this yours? Is your design?

but this whole ensemble is by Leiderhoft.

So fun. Right?

Absolutely gorgeous.

No, I m really like in here. I m in here.

Okay, amazing.

And Perry, I think you have,

I have a million questions

but I think you have some questions too.

So, I m a Glamour editor and I wanted to say

how nice it is to see you here this year

because you were a Woman of the Year last year.

How s it feel to be back?

Oh my gosh, I have to say I am so honored to be back

and the thing that really like makes my heart explode

is seeing girls like Aoki, Future Glamour Girl of the Year

for sure, right?

Yeah. And I think

there s just so much to celebrate

and this past year has been really hard

and just being able to be in a room

with so many incredible women, so stoked.

We re so happy you re here.

And I wanna just ask you one quick thing.

You had such a big year this year

with your memoir Wild Flower,

and it was met with such critical acclaim.

How does it feel to be a published author?

I am still pinching myself.

It s so crazy to write a book honestly

because it s like your diary just being published.

If you haven t read Wild Flower you re missing out.

It s time to go buy Wild Flower.

I got it with a copy and a signature.

Oh yeah.

I didn t get one. Do you have an audio now?

Yes. Okay.

I have it audio.

I m very good with audio, better than reading

cause I fall asleep.

Listen, I recorded the audio book myself

because I am an audiobook girly so I know.

It s good to do on audiobook.

Thank you so much. No, hey, thank you

for the hot sauce.

Ah! Listen, I got a hot sauce.

Yes! She is one...

That is a trade off. Huge support.

The barter system works at Glamour.

She do support women and Black business and yeah.

The 15% pledge. The pledge.

Well that s all we gotta do.

We have to support each other as women, right?

We are the ones that like,

we ve been waiting for, as they say.

So yeah. Why we re all here.

Exactly.

Are you planning the next gala for 15%?

Oh my gosh, I am.

First Saturday in February.

[Ubah] Are you gonna do the same place as last year?

We re not. We re doing it in LA.

We re moving it to LA for the first time.

I will fly for that.

I will literally fly for that.

Yeah, I m really excited about it.

I m really excited about it.

We re about to announce a specific location,

but it s gonna be gigantic.

So I m stoked.

Last year it was like minus four.

So you re doing a good job to take it to LA.

It was freezing, I know.

February in New York s

not necessarily where you wanna be.

Just saying.

[Brynn] For your event,

I think people will want to be there, so...

Yes. Aw, thank you guys.

Well amazing. Thank you for all your advocacy work.

It s absolutely amazing.

Aw, thank you guys so much, it s so great to be here.

Enjoy your night. Celebrate for sure.

Thank you.

Have a great night. See you inside.

Bye guys. Thank you. Bye.

It s just so amazing to see like last year s honorees

come back and they re here.

I mean it s like this whole full circle moment

in so many ways and still showing up

and showing the love and showing the support.

This is exactly what Glamour is about.

It s so much more than a digital publication or a magazine.

This is like, I wish you guys could feel,

hopefully you felt the energy

cause we certainly felt it.

It s been so lovely. I m ready to take

my shoes off and be inside with those accomplished women.

I m getting my notepad, just so we re gonna take notes.

What I need to do to actually become the Woman of the Year.

I know I have many, many, many years.

I m like 99% sure

that the next female president is in that room.

So I think we need to run in there and start shaking hands

and kissing babies because

she s in there for sure. And we wanna

thank Glamour for giving us this opportunity.

You guys, we did not sneak in.

We were actually invited. I did.

So thank you for staying with us for one hour.

And this is it.

Thank you guys so much. We re going insides.

We re signing off.
