Women of the Year 2025: A night celebrating powerful women across industries

On 22 November, the lawn-lit elegance of Summer Place in Johannesburg became a living gallery of brilliance as Women of the Year unfolded into something far more intimate than an awards ceremony. It was an experience, warm, charged and intentional, bringing together extraordinary women from across industries for a night rooted in recognition, reflection and joy.

From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere felt celebratory in the truest sense. Our main sponsor, Bernini, set the tone for an evening that sparkled with conversation and confidence, supported by a line-up of partners who added texture and luxury at every turn. Disney Plus reminded us of the power of storytelling, while Hyundai and Huawei Watch GT 6 Series brought innovation and forward-thinking design into the room. Comfort and indulgence followed with Nestlé Hot Chocolate, while beauty and scent were curated by Issey Miyake, Narciso Rodriguez and Zadig & Voltaire. Wellness and self-expression were championed by Motherkind, Under Armour and Dark and Lovely. Dessert was a love letter of its own, with Château Gâteaux making the night deliciously unforgettable.

At its heart, the celebration honoured women rewriting narratives. From literary giant Gcina Mhlophe to Dr Gynea, who is reshaping how we see and speak about women’s health, the winners embodied courage, impact and possibility. Women of the Year wasn’t just a night, it was a powerful reminder of what happens when women gather, are seen, and celebrated without limits.
