Summary
Five honorees — Cynthia Erivo, Emilia Clarke, Suki Waterhouse, Emma Corrin and Hannah Waddingham — headlined Variety’s inaugural Power of Women London event at the Chancery Rosewood Hotel on Wednesday.
Corrin used the platform to stress mutual support and said the recognition was especially meaningful as the award’s first non-binary recipient.
Clarke reflected on recovering from two brain hemorrhages at ages 22 and 24, while Erivo addressed backlash over a viral “Wicked” interview clip and questioned who is allowed to claim power openly.
Joan Collins also received an Icon of the Year award, and speeches from Waterhouse and Waddingham centered on motherhood, reinvention and the need to support women beyond their public strength.
