Red Carpet Rundown: Variety 2026 Power of Women Event in London

Pin

A whole bunch of ladystars came out for the Variety “Power of Women UK” party in London and the looks ranged from chic to tragic, as they usually do.

We’ll say what we said the last time someone wore this dress: We like that the gingham is brown, which tends to tamp down on the preciousness, and the design is pretty cute, but that lace piece makes no sense.

It’s still kind of jarring to see her in a color other than green. The suit is pretty great, but the boots look ludicrous with it.

Emilia Clarke in Dior

Understated chic. We have no notes.

Emma Corrin

Pin

It’s giving ’90s Lesbian Chic and we have no issue with that.

Hannah Waddingham in Sophie Couture

Can’t say she looks bad in it, but we think gowns with center slits are kind of tacky.

India Amarteifio

Congratulations on becoming a Child of God, India.

Dame Joan Collins

Pin

DIVA. She can do whatever she wants.

Jorja Smith

We can’t tell if it’s a design, or if she’s actually wearing a sheer dress over a shirtwaist dress, but either way, it looks pretty dumb.

Katherine Waterston

The dress isn’t interesting enough to put up with that mop head.

Lucy Halliday in Lurline

Pin

Meh. The red is kind of harsh on her and the bodice is giving leather bathing suit.

Padma Lakshmi

Pin

Simple but elegant. The jewelry is really well chosen.

Suki Waterhouse

She looks like she slept in a box wearing this.
