Past Olympic champion and reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner,
formerly known as Bruce Jenner, hit the star-studded red carpet
at New York's Carnegie Hall in a royal blue dress before
accepting "The Transgender Champion" award.
Former Spice Girl turned designer Victoria Beckham was named
"The Fashion Force" while Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon
received "The Hollywood Hero" prize.
"I was just thrilled to get the call because I feel like I've
heard so much about this event and it is an extraordinary night
to celebrate women and all they've accomplished in their
different industries," Witherspoon said.
"... Women are infinitely capable of doing amazing things."
Other honorees included ballerina Misty Copeland, soccer Team
USA and women who survived the deadly shooting in Charleston,
South Carolina.
