We sum up the 2019 Her World Woman of the Year Awards in pictures

A night of fun and laughter

1/36

 

The Her World 2019 Woman of the Year awards opened with a bang (if you missed it, read all about it here). Our Guest of Honour, Minister of Manpower Josephine Teo, shared many insights on what being a woman means in this century. Jennie Chua, 1999 Her World Woman of the Year and the chairperson of the Her World Woman of the Year judging committee, also delivered humorous and heartfelt speeches before she announced the winners. 

When dinner was served, there were nods of approval and we saw glasses being constantly filled up. Other than that, local singer Rriley hit the stage with insane dance choreography and strong vocals. 

We’re immensely grateful that our guests enjoyed the gala, so swipe for more happy faces.
