Fashion’s glittery awards ceremony also had a somewhat political bent this year, reaching outside the industry to honor feminist icon Gloria Steinem, Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards, and actress Janelle Monae for their efforts toward women’s equality. The three were presented the Board of Director’s Special Tribute.
