Honoring women designers tonight

as well as all of our women honorees.

Yes, here at the Glamour Woman of the Year Award, guys.

I can't believe how we got this job, but we are here live.

Don't tell, we actually snuck in here.

We're not supposed to be here right now.

There's a lot of women, amazing, just change makers,

and amazing, amazing activists and advocates.

Everyone is here tonight.

You are going to wanna stay tuned

I'm not gonna pinch your bum.

My English teacher I'm gonna pinch up here.

will be so proud that I'm here today.

Yay, your English teacher [indistinct].

I mean, I think I got 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 gait.

Those shoes, Brynn. [both laughing]

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 Brynderella moment never heard anybody.

Brynn, I think I see Sam.

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 Barry, get over here.

My fellow, The Conde Nast resident redhead.

How are you guys? Hello.

Did we color coordinate? I feel like we did, right?

This is all women designers and black white was the theme.

Yeah, who designed yours?

My dress is by an amazing Mexican American Designer

called Alexa Maria.

She's based in California, born in Mexico,

and I have a change for the after party too,

but this is my look right here.

Okay, let's do the twirl. Oh my god.

Girl, you look like a present with those bows.

Please show the view at the back.

Show the view of your back.

I'm polka dot Barbie. Polka dot Barbie.

We love it. 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 everyone at home a little bit more,

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, 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.

So earlier today, you told us,

I asked you when you're gonna plan the next one?

Is it six months?

You said the minute you wrap this one, you start a 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.

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.

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?

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

Today, how did you do to prepare with this?

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

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

We were all sweatpants earlier.

Don't be fooled by the glam.

Yeah, exactly. So I have an amazing glam team.

Tasmin from Charlotte Tilbury's team,

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

She did my hair.

Amazing stylist. We have the same stylist, Andrew.

[Brynn] 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 encouraging everybody Thank you.

to come down the red carpet and wear women read designers.

It's important to us. It's amazing.

Well, biggest night for us as well.

I'm so excited. 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, thank you. We'll never forget this moment.

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

Amazing. Good to see you guys.

Thank you. Bye.

Guys, this is like a-

How cool is it is 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 place, this is Lincoln Center.

Right.

I mean, one of the most iconic building.

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

Oh my god, I'm seeing Michelle.

Michelle- Wait, wait.

Okay, wait, wait.

Michelle my bell, we got...

Hi, girl. What up?

[Group] Muah, muah, muah.

Love it. Oh my god.

How are you?

[indistinct talking]

Hey, freckles. Hey, freckles matching.

Okay, can I just say on behalf of all single gals

in their 30s, thank you for giving us a voice.

Your memoirs, all your work, when I watch it and read it,

I cry, I laugh, everything.

It's truly like watching it just resonates.

I'm like that, 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 in 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 the work, can you tell us a little bit more

about that in 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.

Right now or is this the Glamour-

[indistinct] Girl, lets go.

I have a question. You are so confident.

Look, you are doing this kind of thing, like advocate-like.

Surrogacy and all this. You are funny on a stage.

What advice would you give a 15-year-old

who is shy and timid, a woman?

Put you on the spot right there.

Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry.

Make it good. They're watching.

That's okay. I mean like-

Because a woman like you, it's like we need

to study people like you.

Yeah. Were you always like this?

No.

I was a shy, insecure, 15 year old,

because that's how society raised me to be.

[Ubah] 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.

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

That's your special sauce.

Ooh, I like that. A rally cry.

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.

Whatever it is you want to do, just do it.

'Cause so many basic people- 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.

[Ubah laughing] Okay, I love that.

We love that so much. We love that, Michelle.

We can can't wait to see you in the same...

[group laughing]

Can we go low? Can we go low?

Yeah.

No music.

You guys don't drug test here, so here we are.

[Ubah laughing] Hey.

Thank you so much, my love. We're so excited.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Oh, I see Gina.

[Both] Oh my god.

Bye.

You guys... Guys, one of the honoree

is here. Yes.

Geena. Geena.

My love, my triumph, my Horse Barbie.

Yes, Horse Barbie. We love, obsessed.

Obsessed with the book.

Your story.

Can we just take a minute here?

Your story from being 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 you're feeling right now being here tonight?

Oh, I feel so amazing right now.

Glamour Woman of the Year.

Girl, you got it.

[Ubah] 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 now be here. I mean, you're a trailblazer

because you had no one to look up to.

Yeah, and that's importance of representation, right?

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.

Yeah. And if you haven't seen it,

the Ted Talk that broke the mold for Ted Talk.

I mean, beautiful.

What was that? 2014.

I shake when I watch it. You have to watch it.

YouTube it.

So what else are you feeling here tonight?

Is there anyone else, a fellow honoree,

or 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.

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 the first person that truly supported that.

So I really appreciate that.

Glamour was the first people to interview on that.

That's a follow-up, right, from Ted talk.

You mentioned Ted Talk.

I mean, like when that It was Glamour first.

Ted Talk went viral, that's been viewed

close to 5 million times, translated in 32 languages.

You know, something simple like that.

It's not a big deal. Not a big deal.

You wrote a book, Horse Barbie.

It's very explanatory, but quick second to tell us.

How did 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, you know, everywhere.

The fans and all the entourage, right.

In the Philippines, they started calling me, like,

I look like a horse as a derogatory thing to distract me.

[Ubah] But they're majestic.

Exactly. Horses are majestic.

And before I knew that. Yeah.

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. Thank you so much.

We're gonna say congratulations in advance.

And we can't wait to see you tonight. We're coming in now.

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, an idol to us, Miss Kenya Moore.

Get over here. Get over here.

You got a fan club, baby.

You guys are my babies. Hi.

We are. This is mother.

The mother of mother.

Show our viewer what you're wearing tonight.

Oh yes.

Twirl a little.

Yes, twirl a little, twirl a little.

I straight up said earlier

that I'm Gone With the Wind, fam.

I might've said I'm Gone With the Wind fabulous earlier.

[Kenya] Oh, you did?

It's a little bit Gone With the Wind.

Yes, you guys look so beautiful.

I'm so proud to see you here.

We love you so, so, so much.

Thank you.

Saw her in Vegas. Guys, we're with her.

She gave me a ride.

BravoCon was amazing.

You thought I wasn't gonna give you a ride, but I did.

[Kenya laughing] And then you tried to look

for me to take me to Usher.

I can't believe I missed a call

I did, I did. 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- [indistinct talking]

So tonight, everyone is here.

Everyone.

Yes. If you would give,

I'm trying to ask whoever I can,

especially the confident girl.

Yes.

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.

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.

[Ubah] She just celebrated her birthday.

Yes, five, my only daughter.

My only child just turned five. I can't believe it.

[Ubah] You're blushing when you're talking about her.

I know. She's so special.

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 Well, you are

Saturday, so she's happy. at the 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're 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-girled.

See you tonight. Yeah, we'll see you inside.

They gave us a ticket.

Yes, baby. Love you, love you.

Hello.

Hi. How are you? So nice to see you.

So nice to see you again.

We look clean.

A lot different than we did earlier. [laughing]

We look a lot different than we look earlier, okay.

This outfit.

Yes, Maggie, come here for one second.

So you guys, we have here.

Come scoot by me a little bit.

We have Grammy nominated, right?

A singer, songwriter, everything, literally.

I mean, Obama put her on- Oh, yeah.

When you make Obama's playlist, you're good.

You're pretty good.

I tried to get tickets to your tour, it was sold out.

So we're very excited.

Call me. Now you know where to find me.

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

'cause guess who's performing?

That's right.

I'm so excited to open the show.

I mean, just to be here in general,

there's so many cool ass women everywhere.

[Ubah] 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're

wearing today? I'm wearing Bode.

Emily Bode is one of my favorite female designers.

And so it was sort of an obvious,

who I wanted to be wearing at this event.

[Ubah] Is this what you're gonna wear once you

perform today or you're changing?

I'm gonna wear this on stage.

Oh, you're going on stage. [hosts cheering]

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.

Ah.

Oh my god, Maggie, and your jewelry.

Oh my god.

Oh, thank you. It is so 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'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.

Like one line- I think hip hop

and folk are 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 when 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 all gonna be great.

We're all gonna be okay. The kids are 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.

Oh, come on. Until we finish this,

we don't know we are doing the job.

No, you guys are crushing.

Thank you, my love. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

So thank you guys so much.

All right. Have a great...

Thank you. You gotta go start...

You gotta get in there and start...

You're about to perform.

[indistinct talking]

I love you're just chilling here,

and you're about to perform.

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 [indistinct].

All right, see you later. Amazing.

Okay.

Yes, whoops.

Scoochie over.

I can't see my feet.

[upbeat music] [indistinct talking]

[upbeat music continues]

[Ubah] What did they do?

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.

I saw her too. Ah.

I'm frozen. And I'm frozen.

We have Amelia and Olivia next.

But I also see too- Come on girls.

I think Amelia and Olivia.

Okay, you know what? We're all freaking out.

Can you just bring her over?

I'm gonna panic. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

Hi.

Hello.

Let me give you a hug really quick.

Hello, Brooke Shields.

We're gonna try to keep it together.

Everything. Oh my god.

You smell good, you look beautiful.

Thank you. I mean, who is talking?

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 producer.

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

Best friend.

Best friends.

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 15-year-old Brooke?

Oh gosh, listen.

We want them to see you. Oh god, I'm sorry.

I thought the X was this way. I take orders very well.

They're over there.

I do what I'm told to do. [Ubah laughing]

All right.

Listen.

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.

You have to have the confidence to be able to speak

what you need and your truth so that someone will hear you.

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.

I just wanna say, it's a lot of work.

It's not just a lot of work.

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.

[Ubah laughing]

And you worry for them. You never stopped worrying.

No. Now my daughter's away.

My other one's going to college,

and now they're just big kids, big problems.

I'm sure they're not-

With your mom, you will 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're an icon and a legend and just...

Your daughters love you, 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 anything that you, anyone aside from...

Any other honoree that you're excited-

Besides 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 giddy to be up in their company.

I mean, they're so...

They are such necessary and valuable women.

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've thought you were speaking a different language.

God's plan. God plan.

What God has planned, nobody can stand.

Exactly. Yes, God planned.

We are so excited tonight. 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.

So we'll see. Well, that's good.

I'll see you in there then. Yeah, yeah.

We'll have a toast. Amazing.

Thank you, love, thank you.

Oh my god, Brynn.

How am I supposed [indistinct].

Can you imagine?

By the way, guys, she is stunning. Stunning.

I couldn't speak.

Her eyes are like jewelry. It's just the energy too.

I just want her to be my mom. She is incredible.

Is that creepy?

By the way, did you see her body?

Did you see how she looked? Body-yadi.

She's so lovely and kind.

It's one thing you see people,

which I've never met her before.

So you see people in TV, movies or magazines.

You're like, Oh, she's pretty choosy.

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.

I can't, I just cannot. We're just freaking out

after we see everybody. [laughs]

You gotta be here to believe it.

Yeah, but you are here, you are here.

Next year, you gotta make sure you, one of you,

get in the Glamour Women of the Year.

[Brynn laughing]

We're gonna do our best.

Amazing. Yes.

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

Not the Vegas ones.

Stop rubbing my shoes in my face.

Okay.

Is that iconic?

We have some gorgeous.

Come here, gorgeous. [indistinct talking]

The cut out. Oh my gosh.

Hi. I just saw you a week ago.

How are you? Mwah. Good to see you, Brynn.

As always. Oh my god.

Giving, giving, giving.

Thank you.

Can you please show our viewer what you guys have on?

Let me help you with this. [indistinct talking]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Get the train. Fix the train.

I mean, beyond.

I feel like the height we all have too.

After this, we... 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-

I'm just gonna stick up, like standing pretty.

We have College Women of the Year here too.

We can just all form a team.

We'll join the team. We'll join the team.

It'll be great. Stunning.

What are you guys wearing?

[indistinct talking]

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 looked down and I was like, wait babe. It's obvious.

[Brynn] You just have to look down and remember,

like, ooh, that's Laquan.

I know that's Laquan.

What are you guys wearing?

Elizabeth Kennedy.

I'm wearing Et Ochs.

We love it. Yeah.

Designers? Yes.

Is there one in particular that you guys,

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

Is there anyone that you're 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 wonderful 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 do you think, outside of that, who inspires you

or who inspired you growing up?

Wow. Josephine Skriver 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.

Well, 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.

You just called your mom an It girl.

Let's make that normal, calling moms It girls.

Genius. Absolutely genius.

Nine moms in their stomach. They are it girl.

You share rent. Rent-free for nine months.

You guys look stunning. Amazing.

We're coming inside. Yeah, we're coming in.

We're gonna see you inside.

Thank you guys so much. Amazing.

Guys, bye. Bye bye bye. Yeah.

Ru is here. Okay, next up, you guys,

we have glam editor, Ru.

Come here.

And Ru is with the College Women of the Year.

Oh my gosh, Ru. I know. It's so exciting.

So exciting. So exciting. So happy to see you.

Happy to be here, all in our black and white.

It's incredible. [indistinct talking]

Thank you. I know.

[indistinct talking]

A little bit the Beyonce. She has diamonds all over.

Renaissance Era.

[Brynn] 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? Yes.

So we are honoring college athletes this year

and it's an incredible moment to also recognize our college

honoraries that are here today.

Well, amazing.

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. Okay. Thank you, Brynn.

Hi.

[indistinct talking]

Hi, hi, hi.

So we are here with our College Women of the Year honorees.

We have Lydia Jacoby.

We have Britton Wilson.

We have Sydney Moore, and we have Riley McCusker.

Ladies, how are y'all feeling today?

[Group] Feel good.

Yeah?

So I'm gonna ask y'all a couple fun questions.

Let's start you off with Britton.

Britton 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.

College.

I've been listening to a lot of Noah Kahan 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. 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 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.

[Lydia] Oh yeah.

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 make being

a woman and athlete so much harder.

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

[Ru] Keeping it real is one thing too.

Yeah.

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.

[indistinct talking]

[calm music]

[upbeat music continues] [indistinct talking]

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. Fancy 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 cane. I'm okay.

But 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.

We won't do anything.

Everyone's just gonna be like, you know.

Right. [chuckles]

When there's a dog around, nobody's seeing anybody.

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 disabled Americans.

What you have done is truly touched and opened the eyes

and hearts of all Americans.

It's 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 always, we're kind of have to, like, pay our dues.

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

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.

[Ubah] Keely.

Judy Heumann, who is the disability rights,

really started the ADA and the Rehab Acts.

ADA, the American Disabilities Act.

[Ubah] You wanna just turn around and-

[Brynn] Turn this way and I'm gonna hold the mic out.

Okay, so there's Judy Heumann

who passed away this past year,

but means so much and such really the organizer

and champion of it all.

And Burke, who was actually on the British Vogue covers

for the disability issues.

And she's an amazing, amazing voice

and fashionista and tilting the lens.

And Alice Wong and Keely Cat-Wells

and Andraea LaVant, who's been my consultant

and she has LaVant Consulting.

There's so many avenues that I did not know that we're 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,

[Selma laughing] because most of the time

as human, when we have hardship in our life,

some of us just fold, right? Yes.

You didn't. Mmm-mmm.

You went. I hear the, mmm-mmm.

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 a touchstone or my interest in the clothes

with Isaac and QVC.

Like just bringing it to a bigger audience

that I wasn't as aware of before my-

We salute you.

We salute you. Thank you.

Your story is just resiliency-

Having advocacy for all of us 'cause we're all bound

to be disabled at one point.

Yes. That's the truth.

To care for each other. Yes. Yes.

That's really it.

It's so humbling. 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.

Congratulations.

It's like I'm only getting weak.

Okay. That was Selma Blair.

For her to take pain,

It's beautiful. 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.

Look at you. 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, models here.

You do it all. You do it all.

How do you do it? What inspires you?

What empowers you? Before you ask that,

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.

[Brynn] It's glam. It's Glamour.

[Anna] We gotta do the glamour.

[indistinct talking]

Yeah, its Amelia Wickstead and I love her.

And the fact that it's not [indistinct] 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. Who are you?

You are such an inspiration.

Who inspires you?

Who inspires me? Can you face this way-

Yes. So sorry. So sorry.

Hello.

Yes, I am an actor and I know where cameras go. [laughing]

And camera. Hello.

I'd say all of the women here.

I mean, Selma Blair is, 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.

Everyone is so accomplished, I feel like I wanna go home

and run a marathon. Raquel Willis.

I just saw her and I love her.

I see her at events and it was like,

we're just chit-chattin' in line.

Yeah, it's really tremendous to be surrounded

by so many fabulous women.

[Ubah] We don't want to hold you.

Good. I don't wanna hold you.

No no, we don't wanna hold you because you should see

how many people already passed.

Okay.

We adore you and we cannot-

Please, we're 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.

[indistinct talking]

I love a dramatic skirt.

Malin, hi.

Oh my. How are you?

[Malin] Hey, how are you?

You know, the last time,

actually, I was at your house swimming in your pool

What? With Shannon?

Years ago.

The last time was I was at your house,

and I think I jumped into the pool

and it was kind of shallow. This is 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.

[laughing] Thank you.

So I have a little, tiny small business.

Okay. And I know a little thing

about you. Oh, okay.

You support international business.

Yes, yes.

[indistinct talking]

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.

When I lived in LA, you're on every [indistinct].

You're on every board, everything.

Philanthropy is literally your middle name.

Like, 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 want to get involved. Please tell me where to sign up.

Truly. I would absolutely love to.

That's very, yeah, close to me.

Okay. So I'm gonna text Shannon after this.

Tell her I said hi and that we saw you.

Thank you so much, Malin.

Thank you, ladies. 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.

To see people, but then also I'm like,

I want to 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 on the red carpet.

Yes. They're too much.

Like, 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 here?

Oh, he's got money.

Oh, he got money. Hey.

[indistinct talking]

Twirl? You gotta twirl.

You gotta show off.

Oh my god. That ponytail.

Ah, amazing. You're 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 Ube and I so very much.

[indistinct talking] 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-

I know. I do it every time.

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.

Amazing. 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.

[Ubah] You could just tell right there.

[Brynn] 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.

I just love the dress. [chuckles]

We are so happy to be here with you guys.

I don't know what we did to deserve this.

Oh, please. But congratulations.

Congrats. You deserve every honor

You're getting.

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, right there.

Amazing. Thank you, Quinta.

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, girl, come, come, come.

We're so excited. We're gonna implode.

I am going to... Hi.

[America] 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 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.

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 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 really honored to get to be one of-

We're gonna make you blush for a second.

Your hairdresser also, I work with her, Miok.

With Miok.

She speaks so highly of you. [laughing]

'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's about time.

Thank you. Yes.

Thanks so much. Amazing, amazing. Okay.

Well, you're the guest of honor,

so maybe we should let you get inside.

Thank you so much for speaking with us.

Thank you. Thank you. Thanks so much.

Bye.

I love how we're now bowing to people.

[indistinct talking]

I can't Bow. Back away slowly.

Bow.

How do you do like a Queen of England,

when you see the queen?

Oh yeah, yeah. Just curtsy.

We're gonna curtsy a little bit.

Huma is here.

Yes. I see.

Hello. Oh my god.

[indistinct talking]

Oh my god.

I think I'm trying to wrangle Huma 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 Hassan.

Hello everybody. Good evening.

What an amazing night to be celebrating.

Great. 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, 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 you're gonna do, advocacy and using

your own voice and 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 what you're looking forward to or hope for,

especially next year, knowing it's gonna be a 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?

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.

The hostages and 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 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- By the way, you know,

your boss is here tonight.

Potentially. Former boss. [laughing]

Thank you so much. Thank you for having me.

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 your mark.

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

Queen of R&B, Mary J. Blige. Please will you join us?

Honored.

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 the viewer.

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, can we ask how are you feeling tonight?

I'm feeling great.

I feel excellent. [laughing]

Yeah. And you look amazing.

Is there anyone who you're particularly excited or to see?

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

as far as advocacy and everything.

Is there anyone particularly here that you're excited to...

I'm just excited that we're all here as women of power,

and 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 one,

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 our personality here or there.

But you're 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 the advice. If you accept it,

[indistinct]

I just said that.

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, play a little round and you listen.

You write it down, right.

So yeah, I learned my English through you.

Oh, that's amazing. Yes.

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.

And I got a [indistinct] too. She says hi.

[group laughing]

All right.

[Brynn] All right. Thank you.

Bye, Mary.

Amazing.

Phew. Okay, we're doing it.

I think I need, like, Okay, who do we have next?

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. Ahh. Okay.

Hide my phone. Hide my phone.

Karen is here. Hello.

Hello, Karen. How are you, love?

Mwah. Mwah. French.

How are you? 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 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?

[indistinct talking]

No. The Morning Show.

No. I can't talk about the show.

[Ubah laughing]

The show.

[Ubah coughing]

Ahem. There's a little bit

of like a breakdown.

Can you hear me now? What about now?

I think the internet's breaking.

Everybody's wireless just paused. Nobody heard 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.

It's my favorite color in purple.

Thank you so much for that.

Amazing. We love it. We love it.

He's here tonight.

Brandon Maxwell is here.

Yeah, he's right behind us.

Is there anyone in particular

that you are excited to see or that-

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

with you guys, with women, with Quinta Brunson,

who I really 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 sister, Quinta was talking about her mom

and she was a little bit tear up.

We were scared that our lashes gonna fall off.

[Karen laughing]

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 Wow.

Nuclear technology.

She's an amazing, amazing woman.

I think about her every day.

Everything I do every day is what she taught me.

[Brynn] So that's where you get it.

Yeah, exactly. You're literally glowing

speaking about her.

She's was an amazing, amazing woman.

I wish you could have met her because you would love her.

[indistinct talking]

Don't start. [Karen laughing]

We have to get you out here 'cause you're making us cry.

[indistinct talking]

No crying. We're celebrating. We're celebrating.

But we're honoring the women here.

We're honoring the women that can't be here.

D. all the above. So.

Honoring women, and that's what Glamour does.

Yes. That is what Glamour does.

Page is about honoring women.

They accomplish these people have, I'm like,

we're gonna run marathon next week.

All right. We just have to.

I know, but you have to talk to Bettina

who just finished the marathon, the New York Marathon.

And she's here tonight.

You have to talk to her. Okay, we'll talk to her.

Amazing woman. All right.

Okay. Thank you.

Oh my god. Someone who I'm actually

not fighting with. [laughing]

Come in the middle.

Look what the cat dragged in.

Right in the middle of us. We're doing different with you.

Look at what the cat dragged in.

Hi, my girls. Hello.

Hi.

I'm so happy to see you.

I'm so proud of you guys. You look amazing.

Thanks. You both look so gorgeous.

We love that you're here.

I hide my phone 'cause I thought you were gonna come.

Oh, I have it.

She hid her phone and her sunglasses.

You didn't know that I had your phone? It's in the back.

Yeah. We're so happy you're here with us.

But you know what?

We are working. You're here to party.

I know. So we have to say bye.

We gotta kick you out. Get this one out of here.

Love you you so much. Love you guys. Have fun.

Bye bye bye.

And we love you so much.

Guest of honor.

We have Millie Bobby Brown.

Millie, Millie, come.

Hello, lovely. Hello.

Hi. How are you?

I'm good, how are you? Doing really, really good.

You are being honored tonight.

2023 Global Woman of the Year.

I mean, and you have your fiance present to you

and your mother-in-Law.

You are basically the daughter-in-law

of the year by the way.

Thanks for making the rest of us potentially look bad.

But how does it feel?

I'm extremely honored and thankful for this moment.

And what an amazing evening to celebrate women

and achievements and I'm just very grateful to be here.

Amazing.

Well, you are an actor and advocate

and you are the most amazing for animal rescue.

And can you tell us a little bit about that,

'cause it's one of many, you know,

entrepreneur philanthropist.

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?

Yeah.

I foster animals for my local shelters

and I help rehabilitate them and build confidence

and show them the love that maybe

they haven't been shown before.

And, you know, it's a huge passion of mine

and I would like to be their voice.

Well, I think you are. I think you are.

And I speak dog, so I would know.

Yes, exactly. Amazing.

Well, you are the guest of honor.

So we have to push you inside.

But thank you so much for talking with us

and have fun and congrats. And we're coming inside,

so save us a dance. Congrats.

I will, absolutely.

And congratulations.

Congrats. Bye bye bye.

Oh my god. Ayo is here.

Oh. Hey, girl. Hey.

Come here, Ayo. How are you?

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

Me? Yes.

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.

[Ubah] Oh, a huge fun.

Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely.

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

for her and with so many also amazing.

Marista Hargitay and Lindsay Lohan are in my eyelight.

That's not Lindsay Lohan.

It's [indistinct] as a redhead woman.

But anyway.

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, you know.

Speaking of Lindsay Lohan,

tell us about your Beyonce situation.

Yes. 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.

[Ubah] Was it mute? Was a mute challenge?

Did you guys want it?

I think we did pretty good.

I don't know if everybody was on mute,

but a lot of people were on mute,

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.

Thank you so much. You look stunning.

Yeah. Lisa Ann. Hi.

Hello.

[Lisa] You look so stunning and gorgeous.

I love you.

No, you're beautiful.

Beautiful. Oh my gosh.

All day.

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. You are besting, 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 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. 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.

[Brynn] Stop.

Since, in 70s. That from home?

Yeah. 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.

[Ubah] You can do whatever you want.

Okay. That one is better.

But wherever you want.

The important thing is that it 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. [laughing]

Well, listen...

We're very hardworking people.

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 going to the rap party, we're gonna go and do that.

Okay. Let's do it.

I mean, listen, we've been- No, no, maybe after,

after party, come on.

After the after, after the after after,

then we go, we go to this thing that they introduced

100 years ago, people don't realize that.

That the ERA was introduced 100 years ago,

the same year that they invented the cheeseburger,

Mickey Mouse and frozen food.

Okay. So again... They 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 also gonna be on our agenda.

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

I think the woman who's gonna run the world next

is actually here. That's what we want.

Thank you so, so much.

You're so welcome, ladies. Thank you so much.

Okay, get inside. Go have fun.

Oh, I love that gold Glamour. That's gonna be our new thing.

Thank you. It was lovely. Okay.

I love you so, 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.

My god. Absolutely.

You look amazing.

We have to know, is there anyone?

You have done actress, activist 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.

[indistinct talking] Yeah, yeah yeah.

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

Oh, thank you.

You don't have to lie to us.

No, I swear to god. I watch the show.

Absolutely, I'm a big Housewife fan. Yes.

Thank you. Thank you.

Maybe we found our seventh housewife.

[Lauren laughing] I think we just have

Lauren London be Lauren New York.

Can you please just look at the camera to see your beauty?

You are honestly, and there's a lot of beautiful

people in the world.

The one that have inside also, you can see.

Oh. You are literally glowing.

[Brynn] 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.

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.

[Ubah cheering]

Hello my love. Come, come, come.

How are you? Good.

I haven't seen you, I don't know if you 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 always fun. Yeah.

I know, right?

So 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 and of yourself.

This girl graduated from Harvard at the age of 20.

Like who does that?

[indistinct talking]

Oh, oh. You're all way up, girl.

Okay, so... Started early.

Some people icon, like, when they're old.

Like few years are done.

I will say I'm not super scared doing this

'cause growing up, my mom shall always say,

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. She's so chic.

Boarding school. It's boarding school.

Ah, girl I love it.

She's all about the level up for her children.

She didn't get to go to school.

She'd be like, you're gonna go to Switzerland.

You're gonna go wherever.

So I'm very grateful to her. She is an icon.

You are an icon and you have done so much.

I don't anyone else who's taken Instagram

and just used it as a platform for racial justice,

for climate change. [indistinct talking]

Why don't you tell me, 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 She's not making change.

Okay.

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.

According to my mom, the issue is I'm not a doctor.

But like we'll get there eventually.

Okay, okay, okay. We can get over that one.

Aoki, thank you so much.

Thank you so much. Good to see you.

We know we're gonna be seeing you a lot on this red carpet

for years to come.

Keep doing it girl.

We're gonna manifest that. I'll see you guys inside.

I'll see you inside, my love.

Thank you so much. It was such a pleasure.

Thank you so much.

Coming from you... [indistinct talking]

No, Et Ochs.

Yeah.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Love it.

Ciao. Bye. Love it

Okay. Paris here to help us.

Amazing. Okay, so next up we have Perry.

Editor of Glamour, get in here.

And we have Aurora James, fashion designer.

How are you?

I'm so excited to be here right now.

And can I just talk about how amazing you guys look?

Thank you.

[indistinct talking]

You are one of our favorite.

Is this your design?

Oh my gosh, these are my shoes,

because, you know, I'm a shoe girly.

But this whole ensemble is by Wiederhoft.

So fun. Right?

[Brynn] Absolutely gorgeous.

I really like in here. I'm in here.

Okay, amazing.

And Perry, I have a million questions, but I think you have

some questions too. So I'm 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?

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,

Wildflower, 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.

I mean, yeah, if you haven't read Wildflower,

you're missing out.

It's time to go by Wildflower. I got it with copy

and a signature. Oh yeah.

Do you have an audio now?

Yes. I have it on audio. Okay.

I'm very good with audio, better than reading

'cause I fall asleep.

Listen, I recorded the audio book myself

because I'm an audiobook girly.

So I know it's good There you go.

Thank you so much. to do an audiobook.

No. Hey, thank you for the hot sauce.

Listen, I got hot sauce. You got a book.

That is a tradeoff.

The barter system works for Glamour.

She do support women and black business

Yeah, the 15% pledge.

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.

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 into LA for the first.

Gotta get on a plane, Ubah.

I fly for that plane.

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. Oh my god. It was freezing.

I know.

February and New York's not necessarily where you wanna be.

Just saying.

For your event, I think people will want to be there. So.

Yes. Thank you guys.

Amazing. Thank you so much.

It's absolutely amazing.

Aw, thank you guys so much.

It's so great to be here.

Enjoy your night.

You too. Celebrate for sure.

Have a great night. Bye guys.

Bye. Thank you.

I think it's just so imagined see 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 go take my shoes

off and be inside with those accomplished women.

I'm getting my notepad.

[indistinct talking]

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 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 inside.

Mwah. We're signing off.

[indistinct chattering] [upbeat music]
