THE POWER LIST

Celebrating our Second Act stars – extraordinary women who are changing the landscape for women in midlife

- LAURA BENJAMIN

Bringing together a group of powerful women, inspirational speeches and a dancefloor and what do you get? HELLO!'s Second Act Power List event, where famous names from the worlds of TV, fashion, sport and philanthropy gather to lift one another up and celebrate living their best lives.

As a constellation of stars gather for our inaugural party at the exclusive new restaurant Sartoria in London's Kensington, they are treated to champagne, cocktails, canapes and a rousing speech by HELLO!'s Second Act power hero Davina McCall.

Our Second Act stars include the models Twiggy and Marie Helvin, the journalists and presenters Mariella Frostrup and Susannah Constantine, the authors Kathy Lette and Jo Wood and a quartet of Olympic athletes: Dame Denise Lewis, Dame Kelly Holmes, Jenny Stoute and Michelle Griffith-Robinson.

The singer and campaigner Myleene Klass, the makeup mogul Ruby Hammer, the environmentalist Amber Nuttall and the designer Amanda Wakeley are also stylish additions.

HELLO!'s Second Act Power List champions independent women who are thriving in midlife and providing inspiration for the next generation.

Twiggy, 76, the original supermodel now also known as Dame Lesley Lawson, arrives with her husband, Leigh. She's wearing a sparkly Karen Millen jacket and a blouse from her previous collaboration with M&S.
