“Some years ago I was sitting on a soundstage, and my director said, ‘Can you hand me your underpants, because we’re seeing them in the scene and you shouldn’t have underpants on, but we won’t see anything,” Sharon recalled. “And I said, ‘Sure.’ I didn’t know this moment would change my life.”

“We have every right to be powerful in whatever form of sexuality we choose to have, and no one is allowed to take that away from you,” Sharon continued. “So I want to say thank you for choosing me to be Woman of the Year, because there was a time when all I was was a joke.”

Also during the awards event, Billy Porter received an award in the Style category while Lewis Hamilton was honored with the Creativity & Design award.
