During the recent United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), a notable gathering took place as Estée Lauder partnered with Vital Voices to host the second annual Emerging Leaders Beautiful Forces Awards. This inspiring event was held at the Neue Galerie, specifically within the stunning Viennese setting of Café Sabarsky. The venue’s uptown location allowed guests to mostly bypass the usual downtown gridlock, creating a relaxed atmosphere for cocktails and meaningful discussions.
The evening was co-hosted by Stéphane de La Faverie, President and CEO of The Estée Lauder Companies, along with Alyse Nelson, President and CEO of Vital Voices. The focus of the event was on six remarkable global changemakers whose innovative ideas are paving the way for significant social change. Noteworthy remarks were delivered by the evening’s special guest speaker, renowned author and model Paulina Porizkova, who is also an advocate for pro-aging concepts and serves as the Estée Lauder Global Brand Ambassador. The event drew an influential crowd, including prominent figures such as William P. Lauder, Jane Hertzmark Hudis, Sophia Bush, Ashlyn Harris, Diane von Furstenberg, Jordyn Woods, and many others.
