Victoria Beckham and Reese Witherspoon were also honoured at the bash in NY.

But it was all eyes on Jenner.
“Like Elle Woods, I do not like to be underestimated”, she said, of her decision to start her own production company with a focus on female-centric films. Her daughter Kylie, 18, joined her at the Glamour ceremony. I couldn’t turn to a few man and say, “What do we do now?”. But I like the print, and her lipstick is good? As Jenner continued, she reminded everyone why she’s become an icon of courage-and, yes, glamour.
Beckham was introduced with a video clip from her children and husband, soccer star David Beckham. The neckline is gorgeous and her sleek hair and purple lipstick are flawless with it. “So here’s my hope: If you’re in politics, media, the tech industry, or working as an entrepreneur or a teacher or a construction worker or a caregiver, you know the problems we are all facing”, she said. Who are your heroes? Are you a feminist?
Caitlyn has been an advocate for LGBT issues in the wake of her transition.
“I am honored to be here on behalf of the one in five women in America who have turned to Planned Parenthood. F**k animals?’ ‘I’ve been f**king animals my whole life, sir!'”
Jenner also spoke about joy she has found in living openly as a woman: “Now, actually, I like going out”. And it was a big secret in the family that nobody could talk about, because I was getting destroyed in the tabloids every week, walking through the grocery lines looking at the headlines. “I never thought I’d be here and I’m sure you didn’t either”, she said, amidst recounting how life before her transition was one of isolation and lying to herself about who she truly is. And I came to the conclusion that you know what, maybe this is why god put me on this earth. “What an opportunity to have?”
Jenner revealed that coming out with Diane Sawyer was a pivotal point in her life. But I could not change the subject. “All of a sudden, everyone came out and there were born conversations”. It also must be noted how her hair is as shiny as her dress. “Having you present this to me tonight means so much to me and our community”, she told Light.
The sweetest part has been in the details.
CBS This Morning’s Gayle King caught up with Emmy victor Uzo Aduba, who shared that she’s now filming the next season of Orange Is the New Black while rehearsing for NBC’s live performance of The Wiz. “Picture and gender marker ‘F'”.
Uzo Aduba looks really cute in this white peephole gown; Vera Wang looks very Fall Fashion; Viola Davis is killing it with shape, color, hair, everything; and Rachel Zoe is doing her thing, god bless.

“If you’ve been convicted of domestic violence or you’re severely mentally ill, I don’t think you should be able to get a gun”. I always felt like an outsider. “Because for so many years I lost my enthusiasm for life, literally staying in my house for nearly six years”. I want to support, empower and really make women feel like the best version of themselves. And I like being myself.
