On Wednesday night, the entertainment industry gathered in Los Angeles for Variety's annual Power of Women event, a prestigious occasion that celebrated the remarkable achievements of five honorees: Kate Hudson, Sydney Sweeney, Wanda Sykes, Nicole Scherzinger, and Jamie Lee Curtis. This star-studded evening was marked by a dazzling arrival carpet, where attendees showcased their sophisticated style and high-fashion choices.
The evening was filled with stunning fashion moments, notably including Sydney Sweeney, who donned a breathtaking gown from Christian Cowan’s latest collection. Styled by Molly Dickson, Sweeney's dress was crafted from allover crystal silver fabric, accentuated by a rounded neckline and elegantly draped short sleeves. The gown's subtle fabric gathering at the waist created a twisted effect, skillfully defining her silhouette. To complete her look, Sweeney accessorized with exquisite jewelry by Effy.
Jane Fonda, a revered Oscar-winning actress and activist, opted for a timeless ensemble that blended classic elements with a modern twist. She paired a simple set of black trousers with a striking allover sequin jacket, infusing her monochrome attire with a touch of sparkle that perfectly complemented her iconic style.
In a relaxed yet polished take on power suiting, Brenda Song made a statement with her ultramarine coordinated look. The “Running Point” actress embraced a laid-back vibe, sporting a long-sleeve, single-breasted blazer paired with wide-leg trousers, all while choosing to go without a blouse beneath her blazer, showcasing her confidence and style.
Kate Hudson dazzled in a Grecian-style white dress from Carolina Herrera, which featured intricate fabric draping and an asymmetrical design. With one shoulder adorned with a long draped cape, Hudson's look was both elegant and sophisticated, complemented by a minimalist approach to accessories, opting for delicate jewelry by Emily P. Wheeler.
Eva Longoria brought a sensual flair to women’s tailoring with her all-black mini ensemble, which included an oversized single-breasted blazer with sharp lapels and side pockets. The filmmaker of “Flamin’ Hot” completed her chic look with strappy pointed toe heels, enhancing her outfit with a stunning diamond necklace and matching earrings.
Nicole Scherzinger wowed attendees with her theatrical presence, wearing an asymmetrical aubergine dress that featured a daring thigh-high slit and one off-the-shoulder strap. Complementing her bold look, the Tony Award-winning star opted for neutral beige pumps, adding a touch of sophistication to her ensemble.
Presented by Lifetime, the Variety Power of Women event honored the significant contributions of these remarkable women while highlighting the broader achievements of professionals in the media and entertainment industry. The 2025 edition of this prestigious event was hosted by comedian Iliza Schlesinger and took place at the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel, creating a perfect backdrop for a night of celebration and recognition.
