Harper’s Bazaar: Jade, Reece Witherspoon and Aimee Lou Wood honoured at Women of the Year awards

Some of the biggest names in entertainment, music and sport gathered at London’s Claridge’s Hotel on Thursday night for the annual Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards.

The star-studded ceremony, celebrating powerful and inspiring women, included Gillian Anderson, Chloe Kelly and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Singer Jade, who rose to fame as part of Little Mix before launching a solo career, was also among the winners and received the musician of the year award from Cheryl.

Jade told the BBC it was a meaningful moment to accept the award from Cheryl, as she was “a major influence during my X Factor journey and throughout my time in Little Mix”.

“Both being from the north east, Cheryl was the first person I looked up to and thought if she can do it, so can I,” she said.

“I’d take pictures of her to the hair salon when I was younger and ask if I could look like her,” she added.
