The Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards 2024 took place on November 5 at Claridge’s Hotel in London, bringing together leading figures across fashion, film, literature, art, and sports. The event, now in its 17th year, was sponsored by American Express and celebrated outstanding contributions by women who have made significant impacts in their respective fields.

One of the highlights of the evening was the unique format, which followed a “chain of empowerment,” where each award recipient announced the next honoree. This approach underscored the theme of women uplifting one another, adding a layer of connection and camaraderie to the proceedings. Victoria Beckham was honoured with the Entreprenur award and daughter Harper Beckham presented her mother with the award.
