Outside the confines of award season, few A-list affairs are as star-studded as the Academy Awards or the Grammys — debatably, the year’s two buzziest ceremonies. However, a few times throughout the year, an exclusive event takes a page out of the Oscars playbook and delivers an unexpected celebrity-heavy lineup. Such was the case for the Glamour Women of the Year event on October 8, which drew in the likes of Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Pamela Anderson, and even Anna Wintour (to name a few recognizable faces). And if this fashionable fête confirmed anything, it’s that the upcoming award season will certainly be one to watch.
Inside the Times Square EDITION Hotel in the heart of New York, style muses from all industries gathered to celebrate Glamour’s 2024 Women of the Year honorees, including Suni Lee, Pamela Anderson, Taraji P. Henson, Tina Knowles, and Donna Kelce. One of the evening’s biggest surprises was when Beyoncé skipped the red carpet and snuck into the awards ceremony. Arm-in-arm with her mother and former Destiny’s Child bandmate, Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé shined in a butter yellow T-shirt and coordinating satin skirt from Sergio Hudson Spring/Summer 2025. Eilish also attended the Glamour get-together in honor of her mom, Maggie Baird — one of the Women of the Year recipients. In a family photo with her mom and brother, Finneas O’Connell, Eilish posed in a signature menswear-inspired moment, complete with elongated shorts and an oversized blazer.
To no surprise, the Women of the Year were equally dressed to impress. Henson, for one, turned heads in a glamorous Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2024 gown with waistline cutouts. Then, all eyes were on Anderson in her turquoise Oscar de la Renta dress. Also dressed in Oscar de la Renta, Olympic gymnast, Lee proved her sartorial prowess in a scalloped mini dress courtesy of the atelier’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection.
But wait — there’s more. Keep scrolling for all the celebrity appearances at the 2024 Glamour Women of the Year Awards. These top-tier looks are guaranteed to tide you over until award season rolls around.

Beyoncé may have skipped the red carpet, but her OOTN still had its moment to shine inside the Times Square hotspot. The Grammy winner approved the butter yellow color craze in a Sergio Hudson Spring/Summer 2025 co-ord, which debuted during New York Fashion Week just one month ago. Rowland looked equally glam in a plunging suit set covered in multicolor metallics.
