Taking to the stage Jodie spoke candidly about her struggles with imposter syndrome and said the award ‘wasn’t really about her’ but was about the opportunity she’d been given as an actress to share ‘love and joy’.

The star-studded evening also saw Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley, 29, named as Game Changing Actor, following in the footsteps of last years Oscar Winner Adriana DeBose. 

Simone was presented with the award by co-star Nicola Coughlan, 37, and in a lengthy speech, detailed how she’s been ‘frustrated’ by the problem that she and other women are told they’re ‘incapable’ of success.

GLAMOUR’s Women of the Year Awards returned for another year to celebrate some of the biggest names in music, television, film, and sport. 

The event, which is sponsored by Samsung and the new Galaxy Ring, honours the activists and record-breakers who are leading the charge for women’s equality.

Past winners have included Kim Cattrall, Naomi Campbell and Victoria Beckham.

Award winning comedian Katherine Ryan has once again returned to host the ceremony in west London – for the fourth year in a row.

Deborah Joseph, European Editorial Director at GLAMOUR, said of the inspiring event: ‘2024 has already been both a momentous and difficult year for women around the globe, with so many incredible activists speaking truth to power, as well as deeply concerning areas of regression in women’s rights.

‘While we still have so much to fight for, it’s even more important to champion the gamechangers, advocates, and feminist icons who are making the world a better place for women. 

‘I can’t wait to toast them all at our annual GLAMOUR Women of the Year awards.’
