Girl power at its sparkly best” is how Kalli Purie, Vice Chairperson & Executive Editor-in-Chief, India Today Group, described attending a Taylor Swift concert with her teenage daughter in Wembley.

It’s an ideal descriptor for the Indian edition of the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year awards too, a night high on fashion, sisterhood, gratitude and joy as women celebrated each other’s achievements.

The “human chain of inspiration”, which saw one award recipient presenting to another achiever, resulted in some memorable moments on stage.

The iconic fashion designer Anita Dongre felt honoured to receive the award from two-time Paralympic shooting champion Avani Lekhara, who in turn had won in the Sportsperson category.
