2022 Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year portrait studio

At the 2022 Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards, guests were invited to step into our heavenly portrait studio – a creative space exploring the celestial and the surreal, perfect for a night among the stars.

Held at Claridge’s, in partnership with Armani Beauty, the evening celebrated inspiring women and extraordinary achievements across the worlds of film, TV, music, literature, art and culture. The evening’s guests – from acting talent Viola Davis, Anya Taylor-Joy and Lashana Lynch – to music star Little Simz and ballet dancer Francesca Hayward – were all captured by the photographer Rachel Louise Brown.

"What's so special about Women of the Year is how intimate it is," says Brown. "The stars can really be themselves. It was so wonderful to see them immerse themselves in the moment."
