Lorraine Kelly and Emma Bunton were among a host of famous faces who attended the Women of the Year Awards today.
The not-for-profit organisation aims to recognise, celebrate and advance the achievements of women throughout the UK and the world. The annual bash was hosted by TV presenter and former Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc, who also oversaw proceedings at the prestigious event last year.
Leading the glamorous arrivals at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London at the ceremony today, which celebrates 400 women from across the UK, who have achieved remarkable things, was Scottish presenter, Lorraine Kelly. The seasoned star, who has presented her ITV chat show since 2010, looked gorgeous sporting a crushed blue velvet dress with elbow-length sleeves.

Speaking about the importance of the ceremony last year, Lorraine - who has been attending the Women of the Year Awards for the past 20 years – said it gives her "hope" and "optimism", which we need "now more than ever".
"We need optimism, we need to have things to aspire to. I think that is really important. And that’s why this event is so good," she told Virgin Radio. On the impact the recipients have on her, the seasoned presenter – who handed out the Trailblazer award in 2022 – added: "You do go away from here, thinking I’ve got to do more, because you’re so inspired by everything around you, and all the different projects that are happening. All of these women that are doing remarkable things, and more than ever before, I think we need that. It’s truly inspiring."
