Once a year, Variety gathers a constellation of women whose influence spans film, politics, activism, and philanthropy — and on September 28, 2022, that gathering opens its doors wider than ever before. Through a livestreamed pre-show partnership with DIRECTV, the Power of Women red carpet becomes accessible to anyone with an internet connection, not merely those holding an invitation. In honoring figures like Oprah Winfrey, Malala Yousafzai, and Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, the event asks a quiet but persistent question: what does it mean to witness power, and who deserves to witness it?
