Watch Every Moment from Glamour’s 2024 Women of the Year Red Carpet

Okay.

Hi everyone.

I am Brooke Shields

and this is my daughter Rowan Henchy.

Hello everyone.

And we're so excited to be here

and to welcome you to the 2024 Glamour Women

of the Year Awards.

Guess what?

We are here live on the red carpet outside

of the Paradise Club in the heart of Times Square.

And tonight our amazing honorees

will be joining us along with some pretty fabulous VIPs.

That's right, mom. Thank you.

We have got fans watching on the jumbotron, on YouTube,

all over social media and all my friends at college.

Hi guys. I hope dinner is good.

Olympian Suni Lee will be here

and we will hear from Sydney Sweeney.

Billy Eilish and Finneas will be at the show tonight.

Mom, last year you were actually honored

as the Glamour Woman of the Year

and you did mention me in your speech. Thank you.

So let's take a look.

Thank her for reminding my children, my daughters,

that I might actually be a little cool and badass.

And it's because of this award

that they're sort of coming around to that.

Well, it's really hard to call you

cool when you look like the next host

of Toddlers and Tiaras. Yeah.

Okay. All right.

Well, you know what, thanks for the shade.

I am very proud of you and your sister.

You're both in college now.

And right now I can't believe

that we're co-hosting a red carpet together.

It seems like it's the only way I'm getting to see you.

And we are not the only mother daughters

here on the carpet tonight.

Glamour is honoring the moms

of some of the most talented people in the world tonight,

and their grateful kids, including Selena Gomez,

Billie Eilish, and Finneas

and Kelly Roland are gonna be here to cheer them on.

But joining us right now,

the woman who made it all possible,

the editor-in-chief of Glamour

and our very good friend Samantha Barry is here.

Oh my god.

Hi Sam. Sam, hi.

You look so good. You look so gorgeous.

You look so good.

Thanks for having me.

So this is so amazing. We're so happy to be here.

And in addition to the Woman of the Year,

we're also celebrating 85 years of Glamour tonight.

Talk about that.

Look, it's been 85 years that Glamour's been around.

Since 1939 we have been telling women's stories

and honoring them in the most special way.

We have a book, this is a plug,

it's out on October the 14th.

So get to Amazon, pre-order it.

It is the best present you could imagine.

It's gonna be great.

So Glamour An Extraordinary History.

It is very, very good.

And that vibe continues

with the 2024 Glamour Women of the Year.

Tell us about it, Sam.

Oh my God. We have the most amazing group of honorees.

They're athletes and innovators. They're activists.

So they've just been doing amazing things.

You'll see there's three sports women on this group.

An Olympic year that made sense for us.

There is a group of super moms

that are raising the next generation.

You have just people fighting

for a lot of things, entertaining us.

Sydney Sweeney's entertained us a lot this year.

So it's just the most amazing group of women.

And you're talking about these amazing honorees.

I am wondering, did you get to spend time with any of them?

Yes. And tell us, please tell us.

Oh my God, my joy.

My joy of the year is actually going to the cover shoots.

So for example, with the moms,

we brought them together in LA, during the summer.

It was kind of a magic moment

because a lot of them hadn't met each other before.

And you can count on one hand

the amount of women that have raised

these kind of famous people.

So that was really special.

Post Olympics, we had Suni come

and we brought a lot of young gymnast with her,

and we didn't tell them who we were shooting.

So it was a surprise for them.

It was in Chelsea Pear,

not too far away from here in Times Square.

And they got so excited when Suni, the Olympian,

walked in the room and they got to shoot with them.

So it was really special.

It seemed like every photo shoot you had

was like a real party.

So what can we expect different from the event this year?

It's just that word. It's a party.

It's actually different-- It's a party.

We got performances from Kelsey Ballerini.

We have, it's just this really interactive moment.

The honorees are going to be honored in a way

that we have never done before with Freestyle Love Supreme.

It's going to be very, very special.

We'll be sharing everything on Glamour social.

So if you can't be in the room,

like the hundred plus people are here,

just go to Glamour

and you'll be able to see all the fun.

Absolutely. Sam, this is just amazing.

It's so good to see you again. I love you always.

Have so much fun tonight. And we will see you inside.

See you inside for some champers.

And next we have Ubah

from the Real Housewives of New York.

So this is beyond excited to introduce her here.

[Brooke] She hosted the show last year.

She was in our spot.

So we have some, we have lots of questions

and we need a lot of advice cause--

Absolutely we need the advice from them

because this is a first for us.

And Ubah did such a beautiful job.

They both did such a beautiful job.

And we have her right here.

I feel guilty holding this.

Hi Ubah.

You look so beautiful. You look stunning.

Hi, lovely to actually meet you.

I know you very well.

Hi everyone.

You did such a beautiful job last year.

Do you have any advice for us?

Because this is our first time doing this.

The fact that is a mother and daughter duo,

and the gold and the silver,

like, you guys don't need no advice.

I've been watching.

Well, and you are right now fitting perfectly in

and what's been so amazing is the energy

that's on the carpet.

And you had that energy.

I remember when you first asked me questions,

I was like, these stunning, stunning women.

Did you enjoy yourself being on that side of?

Oh, my God, it was so nerve wracking,

'cause we would just not interview anybody.

We were interview people like you, like Brooke Shields.

And so it was very nerve wracking.

But again, everyone is so Glamour and grace.

So it was easy.

Who are you really excited

to see tonight and cheer on tonight?

I mean, every single one on the list,

I'm looking forward to hear their speech,

to find out why they're nominated.

But there's a mother, mother and daughter duo,

that just, she's a lawyer, she won.

Did you see that?

Yes. Yes.

I just saw her and I'm like, oh my God,

I just watch you in my eyes.

I'm start crying.

Well, we are so excited and we're gonna see you in there

and we'll have a little toast,

and you can tell us how we did. Perfect.

It's amazing meeting you. You are stunning.

Everyone's head turned when you walked in

and I was like, they're like, you have to go.

I was like, no, I don't. Unbelievable.

I'm watching.

So right now, however, we are joined

by a gold medal winning Olympian.

And she is the one and only the incredible Suni Lee.

So please everybody put your hands together

for the wonderful, beautiful Suni Lee.

Congratulations.

Oh my goodness. Oh my gosh.

This is so wonderful.

I'm gonna hold it for you. Okay.

Hold your award.

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

I can hold it. Sorry. Sorry.

We're so happy to have you here.

Thank you. I'm so happy to be here.

I just wanna say Suni I follow your Tik Toks.

I watch your get readys with me.

I take makeup advice, I take fashion advice,

I take flexibility advice from you as much as I can.

That's not the path I wanna go down anymore,

but it was for a little bit.

And you really are the comeback kid.

From fighting kidney disease and inner doubt

to the medal again this year at the Olympics in Paris.

Please tell me and tell us how did it feel

to be there and what's next for you?

I mean, it felt amazing just knowing

that I wasn't even supposed to be there

and doing everything that I could

to get there was probably the biggest accomplishment of all.

I mean the medals are amazing, but just making it there

and doing the thing that I could

was probably the best feeling.

But yeah, facing all the challenges

and getting to where I am right now, I'm so happy.

And you're a real fighter and a real inspiration.

Yeah. And I know family means a lot to you,

but is there anyone that you would like

to thank in this moment to getting you where you are today?

I would've to say, obviously my whole family,

but my doctor and my managers,

I mean, they've been my rocks and my sister.

I probably wouldn't be here without them

because they've always supported me

and just been here along the journey.

Well I just wanna say thank you

so much for being here tonight.

It's such an honor to be in your presence

and I hope to see you inside

and have an amazing rest of your night.

We will be cheering you on from

inside and we'll see you later.

I will always be cheering you on no matter where you are,

especially on a mat or a beam or a bar,

but especially here tonight.

Okay. We have a very, very special other guest

that is coming in, an honoree.

And we are so excited

because I now know her a little more personally.

We worked on a campaign together.

But please, the unbelievable Donna Kelsey.

Welcome and congratulations.

Donna come over here. Come over here.

Meet my baby.

Yeah this is my baby girl. Hi.

Rowan.

Oh, hi, nice to meet you.

You can hold the trophy.

Okay. I know it's kind of large.

How... Go ahead. Ask her.

I'm wondering how can moms hold space

for themselves while also giving so much energy

and so much attention's to their kids?

It's a full-time job.

She says, she complains, she loves me, but she complains.

So I'm curious, how do you do it?

I'll tell you, there's a lot of people, there's a lot

of individuals in your community, neighborhoods, families,

whatever that you depend on, especially when you have

to go on work duty and to go on the road.

But it's really helpful to really have a base

and a support team.

Especially when you're working

because it's definitely difficult.

And it does take a village.

We always say that, but it really does take a village

and to know that people that you

and the other women, the other strong women

that you can count on.

And I've heard you talk about your women friends

and the other moms in your life.

Yeah. I have so many friends

that I've kept in contact with.

A lot of them over 50. They're fabulous.

And I just wanted to say that thank you

to all those individuals

that had to put up with my kids when I wasn't around.

But also I had a fantastic husband at the time

that helped out and we were a team and we did this together.

So it worked out well.

Well we are so, and we've learned from you.

I wish I'd met you a little bit earlier in my life

because having-- And I'm meeting you now.

A baby girl now

and we recently worked on a campaign for,

yes for over 50, 50 shingles.

And it was really wonderful getting to talk with you.

And I'm so, I was so happy when I heard

that you were getting this award tonight.

It's really an honor.

It's amazing to be in the same room with

so many iconic women just knowing that I just gave birth

to two celebrities, but I really am not one myself.

So it's kind of fun though. It's very crazy.

But the idea of celebrity is so odd in this day and age.

You know what, I think all moms are icons and celebrities

because it's not easy being a mom

and instilling, encouraging them and to strive.

So you really, you set the bar pretty high for all of us.

So thank you.

I appreciate that Brooke. You too Rowan.

Thank you for being here here tonight.

It's great to meet you.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Of course, and congratulations.

See you inside there, okay. See you inside.

That was awesome. All right.

So here it is.

Meet Glamours, your mom of the year, Linda Limon

and her daughter Dupree Walker,

who nominated her for this very, very award.

This is is so exciting.

Hi guys. Come over here.

You beautiful women, you.

[Rowan] Hi.

The gold. All right. Moms.

Hi. Moms, hello.

Hi welcome, to Times Square.

This is so amazing to meet you both.

Thank you. Thank you.

This is such an honor. So congratulations.

Dupree what did you nominate your mom for this award? Why?

I mean, my mom is the most important person in my life.

I love her.

Everything that I am is because of her

and I wouldn't be here

or doing the things that I'm doing with my life

if it weren't for my mom.

And she just deserved this.

So it felt like the only thing to do.

I'm gonna give you her phone number later

so you can just talk to her a little bit.

Now, Linda, you're so many things

and I always start with mom, but you're a family lawyer.

You yourself are an endurance athlete,

which I also think most moms are in general.

And you are a mother of two girls. I also have two girls.

So what would you say the secret of your success,

but keeping moving forward?

One step at a time and always embrace every single moment.

'Cause every single moment is so special.

Even the hard ones.

And the hard ones sometimes make the easier ones

just that much easier because we understand.

Well you have a beautiful daughter.

I look forward to meeting your other.

Well, I don't know.

We're gonna talk about that later,

but we are so excited.

So just like you taught us, enjoy every minute.

Congratulations.

I met one daughter.

We can't wait to meet the next one.

And we'll see you in there party.

She'll be at the after party.

Okay.

[Rowan] We will too. We'll be right there with you.

So thank you so much. Perfect.

Congratulations. It's so great meeting you.

And I mean--

It's nice meeting both of you.

A mother-daughter bond is really something special.

So I'm glad that we got to share this with you tonight.

Can't replace it can you?

No you can't.

And we'll see you inside and we'll talk dirt.

We'll talk dirt. That's amazing.

All right, so now, we are joined Bethany Frankel,

entrepreneur and TV star also pretty amazing mom.

Mom Bethany, come over here.

So your daughter, hi.

You look so beautiful. Muah.

How are you?

Hi, it's so great to meet you.

We haven't met?

I don't think so, but there's a first for everything.

You look like Dakota Johnson tonight.

Oh!

Don't you see it?

Okay. Never gonna hear the end of that, but okay.

And I know your dad, 'cause I met your parents together.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Dakota Johnson.

Your daughter Bryn, she just started high school.

I'm curious how that's going.

It's going well. Yeah.

She loves it. I love it. She's really happy.

And it's about us telling them how to navigate it,

'cause it does require a little bit of that.

I think everything requires

a lot more of what we don't even realize.

But we've got a lot. We can learn a lot from you.

You're a powerful businesswoman.

So what would your advice mean to your daughter

or to other young women to really sort of keep thriving

and keeping moving forward in business and life?

I think positive reinforcement

about what they're passionate about.

Nurturing what they're passionate about.

I think I said to an advisor at her school recently,

I would like her to stretch herself.

There should be discomfort

but not pain like a yoga pose.

[Brooke] And some--

But don't push yourself too hard.

And also sometimes you have

to be your own support system

if you are met with anything less than the confidence

that you deserve.

And I always try to tell them that.

Don't always look for somebody else to tell you.

Believe it in yourself first.

It's very hard at that age,

because even us, we get influenced

by trends and what other people are doing.

We want what other people have.

And so that's like uniquely what they're doing.

And so that's a hard thing to know.

Well we follow you for trends.

So when we get in there I need you to keep telling.

Your advice, your snacks.

Snacks. I love your snacks.

[Brooke laughs] Thank you.

All of them.

I like when which the cute,

the cream cheese and you put the cream cheese on the--

With the caviar...

The caviar and then then, yes, everything.

That's perfect.

So I'm gonna take some notes from you inside

and you can give me more snacks.

All right.

Great to see you. Great to meet you.

Congratulations to your daughter.

Right now we have the creator and the star

of Survival of the Thickest, Michelle Buteau.

We are so excited for season two.

Are we not? Hello?

Season two. Season two!

Who gets the season two anymore?

It's very exciting. It's gonna be fun.

Oh my God, you so ladies look amazing.

You, I was here, you hosted the Glamour Women

of the Year Award last year.

What can we expect tonight?

Ooh. Oh my goodness.

Things to go right, things to go wrong.

People have fun.

Very expensive wedgies

and a lot of supports and celebration

and I don't think we celebrate each other enough.

I think we get caught up in the day-to-day

of what I'm not doing and what needs to be done.

So it's so nice that we could dress up, come out,

celebrate each other and have like our own holiday.

So yes.

And feel celebrated all ourselves as well,

for all being a part of a wonderful, wonderful community.

Yes, it is a wonderful community.

It is.

And I was so happy

that I knew you were gonna be here again this year.

So we're gonna see you inside

and we'll gossip a little bit more.

I can't wait.

I'm gonna start the electric slide 'cause that's who I am.

But I can't drop anything in this dress.

I can't bend over.

Great to meet you. We'll see in there.

Bye.

Okay, switching gears just a little bit.

One of the biggest stories in sports this year

was the popularity of the WNBA.

And we love to see it.

Joining us tonight from

the New York Liberty is CEO, Kia Clark.

Kia Clark, get in here.

You are amazing.

We're so happy to have you here today.

So happy to be here. Thank you.

You are welcome.

And you look absolutely beautiful

and it has been an incredible season for the Liberty.

A number one record.

We've got stars on the courts, celebrities outside.

What made this season such an incredible success?

You said it, it's been a historic, historic year

for the entire WNBA, but we're super proud here in New York.

The team has been playing exceptionally well.

The crowds are showing up.

It's a party in Brooklyn,

one of the best summer parties ever.

But the entertainment value,

just high quality world-class basketball

and chasing the championship.

That's really what's made it such a successful year for us.

Well talk about a high class.

The Liberty made the WNBA finals, should we say it again?

Finals.

So what would a championship mean for New York?

Championship would mean everything.

Personally, I've been with the team for almost 15 years,

but for the players blood, sweat,

and tears, unfinished business.

We were in the finals last season.

To return again and have a chance

to bring it home for New York.

It would mean everything.

And we'd be the first basketball team

to win in New York in 50 years.

So we hope that this team is ready to do it.

I know they're ready to get started.

This Thursday night at 8:00 PM with game one of the finals.

We can't wait.

I'm a native of New Yorker through

and through, so I am right there with you.

Thank you so much, now...

And, it's so amazing.

I'm just a little bit distracted

because I know that you have brought

an absolute fabulous guest with you.

So would you mind introducing who is beside you?

I'm happy to introduce none other

than Ellie the Elephant, our team mascot.

Hello, Ellie.

Oh, hello Ellie. Hi Ellie.

Oh my gosh.

Okay, I thought that I really turned it out tonight.

But I'm sorry. You win, you win head to toe.

I mean, Ellie, every single celebrity wants

to take a selfie with you.

I hope you know that on the sidelines

everyone's talking about you.

And I understand you are here to serve looks.

So first of all, you go girl

and Ellie slays the house down, especially in boots.

We love your bag. We absolutely love your bag.

So Ellie, thank you for being here with us tonight.

Thank you.

Good luck in the finals and take a night off.

Go enjoy the refreshments, talk to people,

show your looks because that's what you do best.

And we will be cheering you on.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Appreciate you. Great meeting you.

Fantastic meeting you.

I may need to borrow those pearls.

Yeah, the pearl and the bag.

I mean, that's crazy.

Oh and the eyelashes. That is amazing.

Oh, hello. Okay.

And the hair, obviously.

Oh, wow. Oh a collab. That's amazing.

Oh, that's great.

So we'll see you inside.

Cocktails.

Cocktail Ellie.

We'll meet you in there.

Now, in just a moment we will hear from Glamour Woman

of the Year, the one and only Sydney Sweeney.

Sydney, I am obsessed with you and your precious dog Tank.

So we are setting you both a huge congratulations.

Sydney is such a talented actress and producer.

I loved her in Anyone But You.

And of course you Euphoria,

which I watched with my mother.

So it was fantastic.

Yes, we are so happy and I'm sure Tank is very happy too.

But right now we've got the most decorated track

and field athlete in history.

She is a long time advocate for the wellbeing of athletes

and she's fighting for better outcomes for black mothers.

Everyone please give a big kiss to it's Allison Felix.

Hello. Hi Allison.

Congratulations. You look beautiful.

Thank you so much. It's such an honor.

Well it's an honor to be talking to you

and all the amazing work that you do.

And this year has been extraordinary for you

because you received a $20 million grant

from Melinda French Gates to fund

your important work, it's making the difference.

So it's just incredible.

Can you just tell us why protecting black maternal health

means so much to you personally?

And also how can we all help?

I mean, my eyes were open to this whole new world

when I was having my daughter.

I had a very traumatic birth experience with her

and I didn't realize, I had severe preeclampsia,

and I didn't realize what a crisis it is in America

for black women giving birth.

And so as soon as I learned

I wanted to come and help as much as I could.

And I knew people were doing important work

in this space for so long.

And so I'm so excited

that Melinda French Gates has really supported this work

and that we can continue to try to make things better.

And everyone can,

they can contact their congressional representatives,

express support from the Momnibus act

because we have to change this.

And it's a very, very important time right now.

And thank you so much for being here

and sharing your story.

Is there anyone special that you would like

to thank for getting you to this moment?

My own mother.

She is always my role model and just has made

so many sacrifices so that I could be here.

All the women who have just paved the way

and I'm just so grateful to follow in those footsteps.

Well, you're paving the way as well. Thank you so much.

Enjoy tonight. We'll see you in there.

Thank you and a huge congratulations.

Okay, so there's a very exciting moment coming

up and we are so excited

because we are able to say this.

I never thought I would say Billie Eilish.

I never thought I would say Finneas.

I never thought I'd say Maggie Baird.

I never thought I would say that.

But in about three seconds.

[Rowan] Three. Three.

[Rowan] Let's make it two. Let's make it one.

We are going to introduce you all to Billie Eilish, Finneas

and their gorgeous mother, Maggie Baird.

Look at that gorgeous mom. Maggie.

Maggie Baird.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

This is my baby girl.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Rowan.

Nice to meet you. Sweaty hands.

But that's okay.

Warm heart. Hello.

Hi baby. Hi how are you.

Great to meet you guys.

Thanks for being here to support your gorgeous mother.

Thank you for being here to do this. So nice of you.

So Maggie, congratulations again.

Can you talk about the way that your work

as a climate justice activist connects to your children

and your kids and your life?

Well, I basically spent their whole lives talking

about it to the, probably the lot of eye rolls,

but a really a lot of support too, and appreciation.

And then the amazing thing is

because of them, I get to talk about it even more now

and I get to influence a lot more people.

And because they're doing so much in this space

and helping us move the music industry

to a more sustainable model.

And just helping feed so many people

and support really the things that I love the most,

which is really amazing.

And those are your babies.

And I think that we just,

we're such, I'm in awe.

I'm in awe of you as a mom.

You're talking about eye rolling.

I get that all the time from my baby girl.

She's like your eyes are gonna get stuck.

And I know that's impossible.

By the way, if I had the color eyes

that you all have,

I would be rolling and rolling and rolling.

Oh my God.

We wanna be clear.

This is one of the few times on the red carpet

that you guys are not getting an award.

Instead Glamour is honoring your mom,

an artist, an activist.

[Brooke] So cool.

Maggie, what to you makes her,

and I mean, I know to me,

but what to you makes her a Woman of the year?

To me? Yes.

Oh my God. I mean, it's so obvious.

My mom is like the smartest person in the world.

She knows so much about everything

and I feel like every time she speaks about,

the climate crisis and people and inequity and all.

She speaks like she's been studying it for her entire life.

And really she's just like such a, she's such a sponge,

with information and she just like soaks it all up

and is just like, instead of soaking it all up

and then sitting in it,

she like wants to share it and help people.

And like save the world.

And help educate people.

And to help educate people.

'Cause it's, the real thing is like,

there's just like a not,

not a lot of people, we don't really.

Not a lot of people know about a lot of this stuff.

And so it's really important to just share the information

and she's just the best. I don't know.

And a lot of people you say you don't know,

but they also feel like, oh, it's helpless.

They can't do anything about it

and they can't make a difference.

And that type of a message is always something

that you've really sort of gotten away from and said

it all can make a difference.

And as a mom I kind of I have to know.

What do you think that your mom did for you

that helped you become the mom

and the person that you are today?

My mom? Your mom.

First of all, just one little thing about your mom,

and you can have my mic in a second, Finneas.

Well, I lost my mom in my 20s, sadly.

But my mom, oh gosh.

Oh, get ready.

It's gonna be a whole night of this. I'm sorry.

My mom was amazing.

Very loving and incredibly capable human being

who had so many talents and skills

and really I think in her era did not

get celebrated for those very much.

My mother was an incredible singer.

Billy has her gift, Finneas has her gift,

and yeah, she was a woman of the 50s and 60s.

And I mean, you can feel the emotions

and they're all will always be so raw.

Finneas, tell me what this means

to you for your mom to get this.

I think we, our mom has been the same wonderful

person our whole lives

and most of our lives were spent privately thinking,

oh, this is such an amazing person.

And having friends and people my own age

and people our mom's age saying,

your mom's a really special, incredibly

important person in our local small world.

And I think as our sort of community has grown, so to speak,

as we've gotten a wider and wider audience and platform,

I think allowing our mom to educate more people

and help more people has been such

an amazing, important thing.

I mean, the thing I always think about is COVID begins

that we have the whatever, two weeks to flatten the curve.

And I remember calling my mom and like the third day

and my mom was like, immediately was like,

well, all these restaurants are about to close

and all these hospital workers won't be able to eat.

So let's start this donation platform

where people can donate money to restaurants,

the restaurants can cook all this food

and the food can get brought

to emergency workers.

Immediately that was like the first thing she thought about.

She didn't think, oh, I can't wait to binge this TV show.

Which was the first thing I thought.

I'll look at all these hours I have to watch television.

She was immediately thinking about

how she could help other people.

And that's just a sort of

a testament of the way she's always been.

And that's, you know, that's,

we can all learn so much from,

from your mom and from the message

and from never giving up on that message

and making sure that people keep hearing it.

And keep beginning with love.

Thank you all for being here tonight and talking to us.

It really, it's so inspiring

to see you guys have a relationship with your mother,

just like I have one with mine.

And so I just wanna thank you both

for being here on your night off. Thanks guys.

Thanks for having us. And it's going to be

emotional, so just get ready.

But it's okay. We've got tissues and congratulations.

Thank you for speaking with us.

Thanks for having us.

Thank you so much.

We see you guys in there.

We will see you in there. See ya.

Reproductive justice advocates--

Thank you. You too.

Kaitlyn Joshua and Hadley Duvall are here now.

Kaitlyn and Hadley bravely shared their stories

and got the whole world to think

about reproductive healthcare in a new way.

And for that they are here

and they are being honored as Women of the Year.

So now let's welcome both--

Both of these amazing honorees tonight.

Kaitlyn and Hadley.

Kaitlyn and Hadley. Over the wire.

We want you to jump over this wire

and we want you to come back over here and be with us

because we think you're fabulous.

[Worker] Back to your left.

Hi guys. Hi there.

Congratulations. We're so happy.

[Rowan] Congratulations.

So Kaitlyn, why was it so important to you

to share your individual story

and what do you tell others who might wanna do the same?

[Photographer] Right, front this way.

For me, it was extremely important for me

to tell my story because I know there's thousands

of women out there that are able to share, advocate

for themselves and especially

a lot of women that look like me.

And I know that that is a disadvantaged community

and it was on me to to speak out

and tell my story in hopes that others

don't have to experience the same thing.

And sharing that message allows other people

to really share their own message.

And Hadley, I've been watching you speak out.

You've had an amazing, wild rollercoaster

of the year from speaking at the DNC to hanging out

with Oprah, getting a standing ovation

from Madame Vice President.

Do you, if possible, have a highlight?

Honestly, probably just every little girl being able

to watch from home no matter where they are in the country

and see that someone's fighting for them,

there is hope for them.

And even if you've been through something terrible

and you've checked some boxes

before you've even had the chance to grow up,

you have control of your future.

And that's really just the message

that I wanna spread to so many people.

And to rely on the community and your community

and continuing to have these conversations.

We thank you so much for sharing those stories

and for being brave and we're gonna

have to hang out when we get in there.

Okay. Congratulations.

We will see you in there.

Thank you.

Thank you for being here and for speaking.

I just wanna say thank you now more than ever.

It means a lot, especially to people like me

and my generation,

so I really appreciate everything you're doing.

Thank you. Thank you.

Okay. All right everybody.

If I had a drum roll, I would drum roll right now.

So I'm just gonna.

Please everyone welcome

Glamour Woman of the year, Pamela Anderson.

Woo! Woo!

Hi. Oh my God.

[Rowan] You guys are gorgeous. Hi, Rowan.

This is my baby girl.

Oh my goodness. They've grown up so fast.

I know they do that. I don't know why they do that.

This has been, why don't we just call it

as it is the year of Pamela?

I don't know about that.

But it's okay.

It feels good. I mean it's been a long time

and these exciting doors are opening for me

that never opened before, so I'm making the most of it.

Well also, I mean listen,

you did have a beautiful year

and I think it's important to take all that in.

You wrote a book, the documentary

and then I am so I get a little,

because you got to really show your talent.

There was a director that really wanted everything

from you and you arrived and you showed up.

In the movie The Last Showgirl,

I think it's so wonderful

that your talent is being heralded

because it's always been in there

and I wanna say congratulations.

And why do you think so many people are resonating mom

with your story in this particular time?

Well, I think authenticity

and vulnerability are rarely celebrated in this glitz

and glamour world of fashion and everywhere.

So I think I was just really excited to be able to bring

that to the character in The Last Showgirl,

in the character Shelly.

And I was really happy that Glamour actually put me

on the cover of the magazine with no makeup on.

And I just feel like this has just my, been my year

to strip it all back, see what's underneath it all.

And you always have to keep

that little fire burning within you

and you never know when opportunity comes.

In my case, it took a couple decades,

but I finally got the opportunity to do this

and I'm so excited.

I think it takes, people don't realize

that they talk about like overnight success

or they talk about, it's like,

no, no, no, let's get this straight.

These are decades in the making.

And you've always been authentic though

that has been a part of your sweetness.

And all of the people that I know

that we know in common have always said that about you.

And your openness and your sweetness

and your willingness to be honest

and to be thoughtful of other people.

Like there's so much that goes into that.

And this business can absolutely destroy you.

So you have done it. We both know that.

We do, but you know what?

We're not gonna let it.

No, we're gonna stand tall

and we're going to use all that to our benefit.

It's like women that turn poop into fertilizer.

[Brooke] Yes. Right?

[Brooke] Exactly.

[Rowan] That's us.

I liked, I loved that.

That's such a glamorous thing. Poop into fertilizer.

I think we could start our own business.

Yes we could.

And thank you so much. It's so great to meet you.

Is there anyone special that you would like

to thank right here, right now for getting you?

I know you have a beautiful family.

Well thank you guys, but I wanna thank my family.

Obviously my boys are my pride and joy

and they've been so supportive of everything

and I just love the love that we share.

I wanna thank Gia Coppola of course for making the bold move

and putting me in this movie and the cast and

to Conde Nast and Glamour for giving me this wonderful honor

and to be able to be here tonight.

I never would've thought that would've happened.

So it's a happy surprise.

Well you deserve it and it's only the beginning.

How about that?

It's a new beginning.

This is the beginning of my career I always say.

And it's exciting and it's awesome.

And we will be here to watch the rest of it.

We cannot wait. Cheering you on.

I know you guys will love it. You'll love the movie.

Oh, oh no. I already do love the movie.

I know I love the movie.

Yeah. Oh yeah. No, I can't prepared.

Come on. Oh my God.

Oh my God really.

Well. Yes, promise.

Love it and been saying that since since it's happened.

So I'm happy for you.

When we go in there

we're not in front of like the major camera.

Let's have a little hug. Yes.

Okay. All right. Okay. Congratulations.

We're gonna go right down there, that way watch, hold.

Okay.

And now we have four time Grammy nominee

Kelsea Ballerini with us.

So I would love to give a warm welcome.

I know that was fast. Hi.

You just got thrown in.

Thank you. Hello. Yeah.

I've always gonna give you the downside.

Nice to meet you. I'm Rowan.

Nice to meet you and I'm Kelsea.

Nice to meet you.

You guys look stunning. Thank you.

Well, I think we all look pretty good together.

We're like like Olympic medalists.

Something metallic.

Yeah I don't know.

Metallic was taken unfortunately,

but we can work around that.

You're right, you're right.

Ooh!

Yeah see how I did that?

All right. So there's so much to look forward to tonight.

I mean, you are performing tonight.

How does it feel to perform in front

of all of these badass women?

Well, okay, so whenever they asked me

to perform I was like,

I don't even know who's being honored yet.

They kept it very tightlipped.

But I was like just, yes.

Like performing for women as a woman.

I'm like, I'm just here for the girls always.

And then I started hearing who was being honored

and who was gonna be here.

And then I got in the room for sound check today

and I just saw all the seats

and I was like, man, I am so influenced by so many of y'all.

And yeah, it just feels really wonderful

to sing a song off a record that I'm about

to put out that I made with only women.

So it feels very kismet.

And it drops pretty soon.

I know and you're talking about it,

your new album it's called Patterns, it drops October 25th.

Yes. Real soon.

Can you give us a little bit

of a sneak peek into what we're expecting?

Girl, well it is honestly just,

it is my entry into my 30s.

It is like every big feeling that I've had entering

into that good, bad and ugly and it has some bops

and it has some criers and that's how I roll.

That's how we roll too.

That's every day.

It's one or the other and we're rolling with it.

That's absolutely.

Well have fun tonight.

Yeah, this is really, thank you for being here.

It's such an honor to meet you.

Break a leg tonight and I--

We were in the back and we heard the sound check.

Yeah we were like running through.

Oh my God. We cannot wait. It was amazing.

A lot has happened since then,

but thank you for saying that.

Hardly.

Hopefully so have we.

I'll see you guys in there.

See in there. Bye.

And now coming up we have actress and model.

Yaya DaCosta. Yaya DaCosta.

She's an actress, she's a model.

She's the most important-- Hello. Look at this outfit.

One of them in your life. Look at this.

Okay, wait, hold on.

[Rowan] Just a moment here. Stunning.

I mean start to finish.

[Rowan] Look at this and the back.

I love an open back.

[Yaya] For the back. Give it up for the back.

I love an open back. Thank you.

Give it up for the front and sides.

All sides. All sides.

Thank you Brooke. How are you ladies doing tonight?

Good. How are you?

Thank you so much for being here.

It's really exciting. How are you feeling?

Amazing. Amazing.

Excited to be in the room with so many beautiful,

powerful, intelligent, inspiring women.

It's just a lovely.

Is there anybody in particular

that you are especially looking forward

to like bumping shoulders with or hugging?

To be honest and not to be boring, but to be honest,

after being quarantined,

every single opportunity I get to be outside is exciting.

Like anyone who I meet,

I know that it's an ordained encounter.

We're celebrating, we're excited to be

free people out in the world looking fabulous

and interacting with each other.

So anyone is an exciting person to meet,

'cause you never know where those

relationships end up in the future.

And supporting, supporting one another

I think is so important.

You've always been that.

Yeah. Is there anyone that you wanna thank

or who is the most important person, woman, female,

anybody in your life would you say?

Oh wow. Gosh. Well first obviously my mom.

Sorry for being, I'm staying with her when I come...

Because I don't live in New York anymore.

So I stay with her and she's like,

when you come, you just running around and here

and that we don't hang together.

So sorry that I've been running around crazy.

But just to be able to come home

and be in a familiar setting setting

and get the recharge so I can go out in the world

and be myself is just a blessing.

Tell your mom I understand.

The only way I get to see her is hosting

the red carpet together, because she's in college.

Yes. I am.

So tell your mom I understand.

I go to Wake Forest. Okay.

I'm a senior so I'm taking every day very slowly

because I don't wanna be anything above a senior.

Get ready girl.

Okay.

I'm not ready, but we'll talk

later and I'll talk to your mom.

I'm gonna give her my number. Enjoy yourself tonight.

We will see you in there.

Thank you for being here tonight.

[Yaya blows kisses]

Thank you.

Bye.

And now we have very impressive singer

songwriter, Ayra Star.

[Brooke] We're so excited.

[Rowan] Hi Ayra.

Oh look, oh wow. She just came in.

Look how she walked the shoulders back. Oh boy.

That trucks.

How are you? You look gorgeous.

You look stunning. Thank you.

So we are here to celebrate women

and women that have made a difference in our lives.

And who's the most important, let's say woman in your life?

My mother. Of course. I know.

I feel like everybody says that, right?

[Rowan] But it's the truth.

Okay, okay, but it's the truth.

Moms are the best. So my mother.

[Brooke] Everybody says that right?

[Rowan] Yeah, everybody says that right?

Thank you. Thank you.

Okay, so I've been around long time,

and I think that there are certain things I thought,

when I was younger, that I don't,

that I don't necessarily think the same today.

So were there any assumptions

that you made as a child about your own life

that stuck with you, either good, bad

or assumptions other people made,

that you wanna really say no that's not it?

Growing up I always had like,

this child-like faith.

Like I was gonna do music and all of that.

And I feel like I always like, my mom always manifested

greatness in my life.

And I feel like that's something

that was always at the back of my mind.

So any assumptions that were made

by anyone around me never stuck,

because I was surrounded by a lot of positivity

and like strong women, so yeah.

Well, I just wanna have you on tape,

and I just wanna have it play all, that voice,

and the message.

It is just so inspiring.

And what are best words to live by

that anyone has ever shared for you?

Let me see.

There's so many good things everybody has told me.

I met like one of my idols the other day

and she was just like, Have fun.

It's so simple, but we actually need to have fun.

We need to enjoy the process of life

and it's all in the journey.

The highs, the lows, all of it.

And that's all a part of it.

And you've done both and we're so excited to see

what you do next and to keep listening and watching you.

And thank you. Thank you.

Have a great time tonight and we'll see you in there.

See you in there.

And now a true legend.

Golden Globe and Emmy winner,

Oscar nominee, style icon, entrepreneur

and entertainment mogul.

Give it up for Taraji P. Henson.

[Brooke] Hello.

[Rowan] This is really amazing.

Yes, congratulations. Hello.

Oh my goodness. Yeah!

We are silver and gold.

And we were so, so happy to be seeing you.

Congratulations.

Muah, back to you.

Muah. Thank you so much.

So last year you honored your friend Mary J. Blige.

I did.

And now you are a woman of the year.

So first of all, congratulations.

Thank you so much.

That is so amazing. Yeah.

How do you feel tonight?

Honored, grateful, blessed.

I'm full of joy.

In a world that is trying to steal it from us.

Thank you Glamour. Thank you.

'Cause I needed it in this moment right now.

Thank you for my flowers. I appreciate you.

Oh well we appreciate you.

And I was, we were talking earlier

and we were saying like, okay, well what's the list?

And then I ran out of fingers

because you're an actor, you're an entrepreneur,

your film TV and a Broadway producer.

You are an author, you are a mom,

and you are a big advocate for mental healthcare.

That has always been something very important in my life

to talk about it, de-stigmatize it

and take away the shame and create support teams.

With such a busy life though,

how do you manage to take care

of your own mental health for you?

I pay attention to how I'm feeling and I have anxiety.

So if the anxiety gets a bit to be a bit too much,

then I have to stop and I have to assess it

and I have to take care of myself.

And if I feel overwhelmed, no is okay.

Saying no is okay.

No will save your life.

I did not grow up knowing no.

And I didn't learn it until,

I'm 59 and I just learned it a while ago.

I know me as well 'cause you get in the industry

and finally you get that break

and it's like, go, go, go, go.

Because you're scared the phone's gonna stop ringing.

And you know what, when you have faith,

you don't have to worry about that stuff.

And when you're a mom, you give so much

and then you give so much to the industry

and your art and your.

And I think that it's important to lean on other people.

Get help and lean on yourself.

I have an amazing circle of girlfriends.

They're my sisters of the yam.

That's what I like to call them. And they check in on me.

Sometimes they'll pull up.

If my hello sounds funny

on the phone, they will knock on the door

'cause they need to check on me,

look in to see what's behind my eyes.

So it's always great to have

a great support system, especially women.

Like it's nothing like us.

No and you need to be witnessed especially

with mental health, sometimes we isolate.

That is very dangerous.

We need to be able to witness each other

and allow ourselves to be witness

to not go through something alone.

Absolutely.

Because humans need humans, period at the end of the day.

Absolutely.

Well, we need you as a human and we've needed you.

So thank you.

And you've been such a big inspiration to me for being

not afraid to use my voice.

Because when you tell your story,

you help not only yourself but so many other people.

So thank you for being brave.

Thank you.

Oh stop. I can't.

We're gonna have to hug for real life inside.

Oh or now.

I always try to hug the downstairs down.

So look at the camera.

Thank you.

We'll see you in there.

It's great meeting you.

And thank you for just speaking what you just said.

As someone who's in their last year of college

and I have amazing girlfriends

and they're watching me right now.

A support system goes a long way.

And it's good to have people there.

And it's okay to also say, hey I need someone right now.

Absolutely.

So I appreciate you speaking those words.

Thank you so much. Congratulations to you. Good luck.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

You have a bright future ahead of you. I'm not worried.

[all laughing]

All right. So have a toast inside.

Definitely will. Okay.

Right now, we're here with entrepreneur Jordyn Woods

and her mom, Elizabeth Woods,

another amazing mother-daughter duo tonight.

So let's please welcome them. Hi guys.

Come on. Look at this.

Look at the creatures. Oh my God.

We should have done silver.

We're like all perfect.

[indistinct]

Yes, I must agree.

Come over here.

They gave it to her for the night.

Come over here mom.

Show everybody out there

that you're gorgeous on the jumbotron.

Look at these gorgeous outfits and women

and an unbelievable mother daughter.

We are here with your daughter.

I mean, I'm proud beyond

and we're so excited to be talking to you tonight.

This is crazy.

We didn't call each other though. No, we did not.

But I mean, look at this, and we do patch.

Okay.

Yeah we've been spending a lot

of time together these past couple days

when I'm home from school.

Where do you go to school?

I go to Wake Forest. Oh, amazing.

Yeah. So I'm in my last year there.

But you guys are here and Jordyn,

this is your first time at the Glamour Women

of the Year Awards, correct?

It is my first time.

Okay, and how are you feeling?

I feel amazing.

I think it's always a beautiful

thing to be surrounded

with such beautiful, powerful, strong, amazing woman.

I agree. And I'm glad that we all get

to come together in this world right now

and just be women because that's pretty darn cool.

And just be positive.

And just be positive. Yeah.

And uplift each other is amazing.

Uplift each other right. Girls for girls.

No, it's amazing.

I think that is what tonight literally embodies.

So, Jordyn I'm curious, obviously you have your mother

with you here tonight, but are there any other women

or anyone else in the world that

have influenced your life

and gotten you where you are today?

I feel like on a day-to-day base,

I'm always influenced by any amazing woman that I meet

because there's so many beautiful people out there.

Whether it's someone I see on the street

that gives me a compliment

or someone on social media, I feel like just as long

as we're giving each other our flowers,

I can easily be inspired by anyone out there

that's being unapologetically themself.

And my little sister also, she's not here,

but she is like my twin and she also--

[Brooke] Hi baby sister. Hi Jody,

Hey Jody.

And they look identical, which is crazy.

Wow. Yeah that's crazy.

Are they different personalities or just?

Polar opposites. Polar opposites.

For for sure they are and these 17.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

Oh. Yeah.

Oh. All right.

It speaks for itself.

But she's great. She's sweet.

Is there a piece of advice that your mother

has given you, that has really resonated with you

and that you still, kinda recite in your head daily?

Yeah. Okay. One thing she always says is,

people will not remember what you did,

but they'll remember how you made them feel.

And always keep your integrity.

And those are words that I go by every day,

because I always try to uplift the people around me.

Wow. Mom, thank you. Thank you for that.

And our babies I think we should have a toast inside

to celebrate our babies.

I think we should.

For sure. For sure.

Well, I will be there and I hope you will too.

Please.

I would love that.

Yes.

Congratulations on everything.

So many years. We're still 25,

but you've uplifted people for a long time and kudos to you.

Well, thank you.

And she's magnificent. Thank you.

And she is magnificent. We have some pretty cool mamas.

I think you can agree with me on that.

So thank you both for being here tonight.

Thank you so much.

It's great to meet you.

We'll see you in there.

And we'll see you in there.

For sure.

We'll be right with you.

Yes.

Thank you guys.

Thank you.

Talk to you tomorrow about what we're wearing.

Girl you might need this.

Oh, I might need that. Oh, hello.

What? What?

That's awesome. That works. That's amazing.

And right now we, the fun keeps going.

We're here with actress, producer and activist Sophia Bush.

Okay. She's my friend, by the way.

Hi.

I know she's your real mom,

but she was my mother-in-Law in a movie and it feels...

[Rowan] It's real. Yeah.

[Rowan] It is real. It feels--

No, it is real. No, I know. I get it.

The best one.

Hi cuties.

Hi. Beautiful woman.

You had had such a year

and you just, you keep making the world a better place

and fighting so hard and you're stunning.

And I'm so happy for you. Thank you.

And we're just so, we're so...

I mean, every time I see you,

I'm always amazed at your energy, your clarity.

No, and your intelligence.

And it's one of those things that I always,

I would call home and I'd say, oh my God, she's amazing.

And she's so unbelievably brilliant about what you do.

And talk to us just a little bit

about what the last, oh, I don't know, year,

few months you pick, have been like for you.

I mean, listen, I think at the end of the day,

our journeys are about evolving.

And realizing how to be fully realized happy humans,

and hopefully leave the world better than we found it.

And I think that's never more sort of pressing

or obvious than right ahead of an election.

And especially on a night like tonight.

I mean, I know we've talked about this for so long.

Our concern is fighting for you all

to have the rights we've had

and to be here with incredible women

who are working to make the world a better place,

who are attempting to ensure that shocker, 51%

of the populations treated like people.

Who knew that would be our battle in 2024.

But it's profoundly important

and I think also so unifying for us,

and I'm just, I'm thrilled to be here in this community.

And I know you've had this very strong message,

especially now about voting and the importance of it.

And I'd love you to, you've been going all over the country

and you've been speaking this

and you've been talking about reproductive rights.

And what do you want people to do?

The people at home.

What message can you help disseminate

and keep disseminating?

Well, I think my hope for people is to realize

that on these sorts of issues,

the math and the morals meet.

To treat women and anyone who is fighting for their right

to bodily autonomy as full people is both morally important,

but it's also incredibly important for the economy.

Reproductive justice is an economic issue.

And if women are allowed

to fully participate in their dreams, their life planning,

their collegiate educations.

Whether they wanna have kids,

how many kids, when they wanna have kids,

if they want them at all, all of this, it.

It not only matters for our lives

and our own pursuit of life, liberty

and freedom per the constitution,

but it really matters for the economy.

And if 50% of the population is not able

to participate in the economy,

we slowly suffocate the country.

And when you consider that women are the largest creators

of small businesses in America,

that we are often heads of household in terms of finances.

The math and the morals meet here folks.

And it's so incredibly important that we,

I think, wake up and stand up for each other.

And I think that's so important.

I recently had to go to DC

and talking about something different.

But it was amazing to me

how the economic piece was not something that was primary.

And I kept saying, look,

this isn't just touchy feely feelings, like Kumbaya.

This is an economic benefit to communities,

to the culture to...

And that's a message that they will hear.

Yes. Well, because I think, listen,

people can have different opinions.

You can have different feelings about social issues.

Feelings are not facts.

Medical science, it turns out, is based in fact.

But the economy is hard to argue

because math is math, no matter how you feel about it.

And I think to create a really healthy economy,

to create a really healthy America

and a new way forward

as we're discussing on the Harris campaign,

it's really important that we tie these issues of,

as you said, emotion and fact together.

And we have rational conversation based in truth.

Well, that is something that

we need to keep talking about.

And we are gonna do everything in our power,

'cause you are absolutely to move this forward.

From my generation,

I am saying thank you for helping be our voice.

And especially right now, more than ever.

And everybody please make sure to go out,

get registered and vote, vote, vote.

It is so important, especially for Gen Zers.

Everybody, now is the time to vote.

Use your voice because it really does matter.

Thank you Sophia, for being here today.

They all matter. Muah.

We will see you. I love you more.

I'm so happy to see you.

I'm obsessed that you're doing together.

I'll see you in there. We'll see you in there.

Oh, okay. Well, oh yeah.

You keep talking.

Intermission.

We are. [laughing]

We are here, that's live television,

with the Grammy's best new artist of 2024.

Victoria Monet. Hello Victoria.

Look at you. Look at you.

That is amazing. Oh my God.

Beautiful.

You look absolutely stunning.

This is just everything.

Look at you. Thank you so much.

Show everybody in Times Square. Come on. Wow.

That jumbotron. Thank you so much.

Victoria, thank you for being here tonight.

Who are some women in your life that have inspired you?

Oh my God. My mom.

She's here in the city tonight and my daughter.

So I feel like it is so lovely

to see you two hosting this together,

'cause I cannot, it's future goals.

My daughter's only three, so I got a while to go.

[Brooke] But definitely my-- She's a slacker.

Yeah, I know. What is she thinking?

Yeah, so I would have to say my mom.

And so it's really nice to see the honorees

and the presenters tonight be mother-daughter duos.

It's just like, I love it so much.

And how are you feeling tonight?

It's so amazing to be in a room

with all of these amazing women.

How do you feel and what does this mean to you?

You know what?

Any event that we're able to honor women,

I'm so down for, I'm so here for it.

I think there was ages where we felt unseen

and was a thankless job to be a woman and a mother.

So I'm happy to be here tonight alongside everybody

to clap it up for all the women involved tonight.

Well, I'm sure your mom is an inspiration to you

and you are an inspiration to your baby girl,

a three-year-old. That's so wonderful.

They grow up so fast. Way too fast.

And yeah, the nights are longs,

the years are short is what I will say.

And I have to ask, as a super fan,

do you have anything fun potentially coming out

for your fan?

You know I did just drop a deluxe, of my Jaguar two.

It just came out last Friday.

So there is new music to be heard.

If you haven't heard it or seen it,

it's out now and available everywhere.

Okay. Wow. Available everywhere. Everywhere.

It's available. Everywhere.

Okay, well, we'll celebrate you more inside.

Have fun tonight.

It's great. You're so beautiful.

You look beautiful.

Thank you for having me.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you. Thank you.

Okay, now we get

to hear from Glamour Woman of the Year, Sydney Sweeney.

Sadly Sydney couldn't be here tonight,

but she sent this message.

Thank you Brooke and Rowan.

I really wish I could be there tonight.

And I'm so sad I'm not there in person with all of you,

but I'm very thankful to Glamour for being awarded

amongst such an amazing group of women.

And I hope you all have an incredible evening.

Thank you Sydney and we will--

She said your name.

Yeah, I know. Oh my God.

I'm gonna get like a one of those scar.

Things.

Tattoos.

And we will make sure that you and Tank get your trophy.

Thank you so much and congratulations Sydney.

Tank has to meet our twosie, just to let you know.

Yeah they're pretty special those little fur balls.

But thank you so much Sydney and congratulations.

We are sending you love

and we are so happy to be here.

Have you had fun tonight?

Yeah, I listen.

Thank you for, I needed a vibe check.

This has been so much fun for me.

I'm just so honored to be in a room with all

of these amazing women hearing stories.

People are here for a reason

because every single person

has a unique story and a rich history.

And talking to them is something

that I will remember forever.

Well, I hope you also remember

that it's a real night to her moms and daughters.

I just want you to remember that.

And this year,

Glamour is gonna honor an entire group of moms

who gave their kids such incredible self-confidence to soar.

We are talking Beyonce, Solange Knowles,

and Kelly Roland, Selena Gomez, Billie Eilish, and Finneas

and Travis and Jason Kelsey.

So take a look.

[upbeat music]

Woman of the Year.

I would think that it would be someone

who is a powerful advocate for other women.

Someone that is kind, someone that is inclusive.

Someone who has done something to better the world

and change the way we think about the world.

Women who can do it all and take a lot of pride in it.

[upbeat music]

I mean, I just, I think

that tonight has been such an incredible night.

What has been some of your favorite moments

from tonight besides being with your mother?

I think just being in this room

and looking at these women in their eyes

and asking questions

and talking about things that are important such

as reproductive rights and following--

Voting.

Yeah, voting and following-- Confidence.

And confidence and learning from those above us

and from those below us.

And that every generation is as important as the next,

as the generation above them.

And it's just, I will say this again now, more than ever,

it is important for us as women to just use our voice

because it's necessary and it really does matter.

Everyone's voice matters.

And also, I think that there's something very much

to be said tonight about community.

We've watched all these incredible women,

moms, daughters, friends, siblings,

we've saw all these women and they've all talked

about their community, their support group.

They've talked about people that have made their lives

doable and how they get, they gain support

and how they lean on those people.

And we're not meant to do this alone.

We're not meant to do anything alone.

So I think that it's been a great lesson.

I'm so happy to be able to share it with my daughter.

And right now we get to invite our friend back, Sam Barry.

[Rowan] Sam Barry.

Who's why we are here tonight.

Guys are doing an amazing job.

Also, I had a look outside Times Square.

You look so good on the jumbotron. So good, yeah.

We all look very good on the jumbotron.

Very good on the jumbotron.

So what messages do you wanna share

with women around, let's do the world tonight?

Oh my God. Well, do you know what?

I think there was just such moments of joy.

I was watching from the end of the red carpet

and I just loved all the family moments.

I loved the mom of the year from Glamour, Lyndon Leman

and her daughter Dupree,

who were the start to the red carpet with you.

I loved Maggie with Billie and Finneas.

I was like, oh my God, that the beautiful moment.

I think there was just a lot of love on the carpet tonight.

Who's your favorite people?

Who did you love? Who are you talking to?

I mean, meeting Billie Eilish

and just seeing the connection she had with her mother

and watching her mother-- Tear up.

Get emotional talking about

her experience with her mother.

I think that just speaks volumes on why we're here tonight

and why you host this amazing thing the way you

do and have us all here. So that was, yeah.

And Billie Eilish said, my hair looks good tonight.

[Rowan] It does.

So now I can die happy.

I was like, Billie Eilish said, my hair looks good.

So I was like, yes, I'm ready.

Okay, well don't leave too soon, okay,

'cause we need some more.

But I think that's a perfect way to end.

And I just want say thank you for having us,

for asking us to do this together.

This was a highlight for me in my life.

And we just wanna thank all the change makers

who joined us tonight.

Okay. So, well, we might not go just yet

because I think here's what we know.

There's a lot of people tuning in

and I wanna give 'em a little sense

of what's happening upstairs.

Because what we do have is we've got performers,

we've got Kelsea Ballerini who you guys talk to.

What did she have to say?

[Rowan] Oh, she has a new album coming out

and she's very excited.

Lots of new music.

And she just once again emphasized on

being in a room and performing

for all of these badass women.

We had a lot of singers on the carpet as well tonight.

A lot of stars.

And I think what you also saw,

like the athletes really stood out for me.

I know we talked about this earlier,

but there's something about this Olympic year

that in general we love athletes.

We had Ellie the Elephant, which was I think,

a big surprise for a lot of people.

And there was something about having Suni Lee

and Allison on that carpet that just...

I mean, I don't think I'm an Olympian,

but you know, part of me when I watched the Olympics

thinks that I could do it.

I think we all have some Olympic tendencies

just in being women.

Not to take anything away from the extraordinary athletes,

obviously, but we all have to get in touch

with our confidence and our endurance.

And we need to keep fighting and keep growing.

And you've taught, you've taught me that

and you've taught a lot of people that,

and you provide a beautiful evening

for so many different beautiful women.

So thank you.

Thank you so much.

Okay now, and that is very worthy and brilliant,

but who was your favorite look of the night?

Tell me everything.

[Brooke] I'm gonna go with Ellie.

Ellie, Ellie in the custom.

I loved Victoria Monet's dress.

That dress was insane.

Hunger Games esque.

It was very covered but also not too covered, regal.

We had the gold broaches. So everything was amazing.

And then of course, look at you too.

I mean, I was you--

Wait a second. Sorry, I, you.

Of course yes.

You walked right in and I was--

I heard a rumor

that you guys are doing a costume change for the party.

It's not a rumor. It's true.

It's not true and I've sweat

through this poor sequin dress for a long time

and I'm gonna just change it.

The sequins are welting. Yes.

What an amazing night, Sam.

Thank you so much for giving us

and giving me this opportunity and inviting her back.

Thank you. Bye everybody.

Goodbye everyone. Thank you.
