OUT & ABOUT - ELLE Boss Awards

A month of celebrating women and their achievements ended with a flourish with the ELLE Boss Awards held recently. This was the first time that ELLE has held these awards and it was to honour women making waves in the entrepreneurial and corporate fields. The purpose behind the awards was to empower women, support and encourage female creativity and leadership as well as to highlight entrepreneurial spirit. The finalists emerged from diverse backgrounds, and each brought something unique to the table. 

'An ELLE Boss is visionary, outstanding and a leader to watch for the future' - Gisèle Wertheim-Aymés, ELLE publisher

The #TrendMen joined these phenomenal ladies and members of the ELLE team for a stylish lunch at Willoughby's & Co. in Hyde Park Corner followed by an afternoon of pampering at Sorbet, Carlton Hair and M.A.C. This was all in preparation for the main event: a magnificent dinner at Luce Restaurant at the Tsogo Sun, Hyde Park where the winners in each category and the overall winner were announced. One of the main sponsors for the event, Veuve Clicquot, ensured that French champagne flowed throughout the day.
