Jameela Jamil said on the night: “Women in my position and women in all industries are told not to do that, and not to be unlikeable, or difficult, or problematic in any way. We are told not to tell the truth, and you give a voice to those of us that do. You make it seem like something cool to do. [Stylist is] so empowering and you are such an important presence in this industry. You don’t patronise women, you don’t condescend to them: you tell us what we want and need to know.
