The 2023 Hollywood Reporter gala took place Thursday, with celebrities in attendance including Kerry Washington, Ariana DeBose, Helen Mirren and Kathy Hilton. The 2023 Women in Hollywood THR Gala was presented by Lifetime, and honors women across television, film and music who have made strides in their respective mediums over the past year. This year’s event took place in Beverly Hills at the Beverly Hilton. Here, WWD takes a look at some of the standout looks from this year’s red carpet.
Kerry Washington
Kerry Washington arrived on the red carpet for the 2023 Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment gala in a head-to-toe Prada ensemble, including an allover pale blue floral appliquè dress, a metallic silver triangle clutch and heeled sandals. To create her look for the event she worked with her stylists, Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn. Washington was honored with the Equity in Entertainment Award at the ceremony.
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa elevated the Little Black Dress as she donned a sleeveless black column dress with a thigh-high slit and statement buckle at the neckline from Tom Ford. Lipa worked with stylist Lorenzo Posocco to create her look for the evening. Lipa, along with Camila Cabello, Billie Lourd and Lily Gladstone, awarded more than $1 million in university scholarships to students participating in THR’s Women in Entertainment Mentorship Program, now in its 14th year.
Ariana DeBose
With her current Disney film “Wish” in theaters, in which DeBose voices the lead character, she looked to Disney’s Cinderella blue for her outfit inspiration. Rather than a full-on gown, the actress opted for a satin shirt and form-fitting skirt combination from Rowen Rose. Stylist duo Zadrian and Sarah created DeBose’s look for the event.
Helen Mirren
Veteran actress Helen Mirren took a minimalist approach to style with a twist, as she wore a black Gucci dress with a fishnet neckline and sleeves and a white statement collar and cuffs. She accessorized the ensemble with a classic black Tod’s handbag. Stylist Lee Harris worked with Mirren to select her ensemble.
Kathy Hilton
Kathy Hilton, who has made reality TV waves in recent years as a cast member of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” wore a red minidress with bows on the skirt from Valentino to attend The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Gala. She completed her look with red pointy-toe heels and a red shoulder bag.
Adele
Adele took home the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, presented by Mirren. For the honor, the singer went for power dressing, wearing a black and white pin-striped suit with asymmetric lapel detail from Schiaparelli. Jamie Mizrah styled Adele for her honor.
Lucy Hale
Actress Lucy Hale took a power dressing cue from Adele. The actress and singer wore a Dior cruise 2024 gray wool plaid waistcoat and pants, a white cotton shirt and a black cotton tie. She accessorized with a Dior Lady D-joy black bag.
