Rihanna attends Glamour’s 2009 Women of the Year awards at Carnegie Hall
Just a few days after her stirring interview with Diane Sawyer aired on ’20/20′ in which she revealed details about the assault she experienced at the hands of Chris Brown, singer Rihanna looked amazing tonight as she attended Glamour Magazine’s 2009 Women of the Year awards. Honored alongside Rihanna were Maria Shriver, Stella McCartney, Euna Lee and Lisa Ling, and Amy Poehler (to name just a few).
Clad in a stunning gown, Rihanna was presented with the Woman of the Year award by Iman. During her speech, which was emotional for the singer, she said, “Just to be mentioned in this group of women is overwhelming. I love being a part of a night where we’re celebrating women and such strong women. Thank you, Glamour, for giving me Woman of the Year.” She also acknowledged her mother and grandmother, saying “They’ve shown me what strong women can accomplish and achieve. Without their unconditional love and guidance, I wouldn’t be here and I hope I can be an example to young girls and women today.”
