Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Female Awards 2012 Celebrity Pictures: Zoe Foster, Jesinta Campbell, Ruby Rose

Last night’s Cosmopolitan Fun, Fearless Female Awards drew a stunning crowd to Guillaume at Bennelong to celebrate women in fields such as fashion, acting, sport and more. Soft pink lighting filled the room and flowers adorned the tables as stylish guests mingled before sitting down for a delicious three-course meal. Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Bronwyn McCahon introduced Ruby Rose as the night’s emcee, who cracked a few jokes before being joined on stage by stars such as Jesinta Campbell, Laura Dundovic and Charlotte Dawson to hand out honours. The biggest award of the night went to Zoë Foster, who was named woman of the year after also receiving the author of the year award. She was genuinely surprised by the honour — and the $10,000 novelty cheque that came with it! — and got emotional during her acceptance speech, adding that she wished fiancé Hamish Blake could be there on the night. Entertainment was provided by The Voice finalist Sarah De Bono, DJ Havana Brown, and a shirtless trophy man who was on hand to deliver the plaques to the recipients.
