Photos of Lena Dunham, Cobie Smolders, Kim Kardashian and more at Variety’s Power of Women Luncheon

On Friday, Variety’s Power of Women Luncheon was held at Cipriani 42nd St in NYC.

The 2nd annual luncheon honored Glen Close, Kim Kardashian, Whoopi Goldberg, Rachel Weisz and Lena Dunham. Emmy Rossum, Trisha Yearwood, Jennifer Morrison, Cobie Smolders and Rosie Perez were also in attendance.

Lena Dunham was recognized for her work with GEMS, an organization that works to empower girls who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation and domestic trafficking. She took the opportunity to publicly discuss her own experience with sexual assault while attending Oberlin College.

“When I was raped, I felt powerless. I felt my value had been determined by someone else, someone who sent me the message that my body was not my own and my choices were meaningless,” Dunham said during her speech.

Check out a few photos of the stars arriving and greeting fans before the event, thanks to one of our contributors, Denise.
