The Great Women Of Our Time Awards 2016 Cocktail Ceremony

See who graced The Singapore Women’s Weekly with their presence and see what they wore at the Great Women Of Our Time Awards 2016.

by Natalya Molok  /   September 30, 2016

For the past 11 years, The Singapore Women’s Weekly, through the Great Women Of Our Time Awards, has given a voice to women who otherwise would not be heard.

This awards initiative not only recognises the achievements of brilliant women who are all trailblazers in their respective fields, but also allows them to be buoyed by one another, and supported by countless more like-minded women.

At this year’s awards held at Lewin Terrace, we brought together the best and brightest women in the Arts & Media, Design & Style, Health, Sports & Wellness, Finance & Commerce, Education & Public Service, and Science & Technology sectors and paid homage to their contributions to Singapore’s society with an intimate cocktail gathering.

Take a look at the fashion, fun, and festivities as we honoured the most inspirational ladies of 2016 at the Great Women Of Our Time Awards.

The Great Women Of Our Time 2016 is presented by Skin Inc and co-sponsored by Swarovski.
