Stars descended on Citizen News in L.A. on Thursday night for Variety’s Power of Women 2023. The red carpet was a pool of fashion and beauty excellence for the event which celebrates the achievements of women in the entertainment industry.

Margot Robbie, who is in her post-Barbiecore era cool-girl fashion phase, received the award for Producer of the Year on behalf of LuckyChap - the production company she co-founded which was a producer of Barbie.

Dua Lipa, who also starred in the movie and wrote Dance The Night Away, gave her cherry cola red hair its red carpet debut, and presented the award to Margot on the evening.

“It’s really just so exciting and such a dream to be part of such a mammoth movie. It’s unbelievable. I feel very lucky,” Lipa told Variety on the red carpet. “It’s just nice to see people’s response — the whole energy behind the film, the meaning behind it, the solidarity between women. It’s been beautiful to see.”

Also in attendance was the effortlessly stylish Duchess of Sussex, who nailed the quiet luxury aesthetic sporting her favourite, off-the-shoulder neckline and made a major change to her make-up routine.

It was a star-studded event oozing with glamour, and here are the best-dressed guests from the evening:
