What was your favourite moment? From Victoria's racy joke to Cara and Rita's dance-off, team GLAMOUR share their highlights from the Women of the Year Awards
Getty ImagesThe overwhelming consensus in the fashion department is that <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/jessie-j target=_new>Jessie J</a> nailed it with her outfit last night. The electric blue Gucci was a tricky look to wear, but she pulled it off and looked gorgeous and stylish. 10 out of 10. Honorable mention: <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/helen-mccrory target=_new>Helen McCrory</a> – so chic, she looked fantastic.

PA PhotosMy favourite moment was <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/victoria-beckham target=_new>VB</a> going up to Joan Collins's table to say hi and looking super excited to meet her – even mega celebs obviously have people they look up to. My totally favourite look was Rebel Wilson's hair – stylist Adam Reed went for a bardot up-do and she looked gorgeous!

Rex FeaturesThe highlight of my life, let alone my evening was <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/victoria-beckham target=_new>Victoria Beckham</a> reading out my name during her acceptance speech. Why? Sadly not to cite me as her inspiration for Woman of the Decade, but for using my table name card to scribble some speech notes on the back of. I'll take that.

I think my highlight was the night's biggest whooping for Mr Corbett when he went up on stage. Or <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/rita-ora target=_new>Rita</a> reapplying BFF <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/cara-delevigne target=_new>Cara</a>'s lippy for her at the table before they went up to do their thang together.

They couldn't take their eyes off each other all night and he was brimming with pride when she won her award. Basically, they're awesome. I also LOVED the coupling of Ronnie Corbett and Miranda Hart. Oh, and Lisa Snowdon's neon dress totally rocked - my favourite of all the bright dresses.

Getty ImagesThe double applause for Nicola Adams when she went up to collect her award, <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/victoria-beckham target=_new>Posh</a> bringing Brooklyn as her date (and her accidental 'erection' joke when raising the mic), and seeing firsthand the fun, genuine friendship between Rita and Cara as they partied the night away.

PA PhotosMeeting Harry Potter – and having him be really cool and so nice. I loved it when he said, "Now I have something in common with Kanye West" (who previously won Man of the Year). Also, the cheer Nicola Adams got before she'd even spoken – such a legend, and so sweet and humble.

Rex FeaturesI LOVED when Clare Balding announced the House of Lords decision about Equal Marriage and the crowd gave a huge whoop. Such an incredible, empowering night of celebration for many reasons, and such a great crowd to have been a part of.

PA PhotosExpressing my admiration for the lyrical works of Ridin’ Solo by <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/jason-derulo target=_new>Jason Derulo</a>… To Jason Derulo. Anyone that rhymes ‘Can’t stop my shine’ with ‘Cloud nine’ is a genius. Also, <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/clare-balding target=_new>Clare Balding</a>’s moving acceptance speech, just as the House Of Lords passed the Equal Marriage bill. She revealed that she and her partner Alice were planning to tie the knot in the next few years, too.

Getty ImagesOther than being the filling in a Ronnie Corbett and <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/miranda-hart target=_new>Miranda Hart</a> seating plan sandwich (two funny people who were delighted to meet each other), I loved Clare Balding announcing the news about the equal marriage act (and that Joan and Percy were coming to her wedding!). Loved that she said it, loved the response. (Honourable mention to Claudia Winkleman, for claiming Myleene Klass invented lingerie in her presenter's speech.) Oh, and <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/helen-mccrory target=_new>Helen McCrory</a> looking the very definition of elegant.

Getty ImagesFor me, it was being in the same room as <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/james-purefoy target=_new>James Purefoy</a>. Having spent the early part of this year addicted to The Following. I was quite beside myself.
Laura Johnson, Chief Sub Editor
For me it had to be <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/rebel-wilson target=_new>Rebel Wilson</a> - who else would squeeze her own breasts and talk about spotted dick in an acceptance speech? Everyone was crying with laughter. As <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/kylie-minogue target=_new>Kylie</a>, who presented her award, put it, "She's Acca-amazing." If you're not already a massive Rebel fan, watch Pitch Perfect and you soon will be.
