Malala Yousafzai recently attended Variety’s Power of Women 2022 event in Los Angles event on 28 September, and turned heads in a gorgeous pearl white traditional outfit from WANIYA by Mehr Azam.
The event, which was presented by Lifetime, was set to honor Ava DuVernay, Oprah Winfrey, Chelsea and Hillary Clinton, Yousafzai, and Elizabeth Olsen.
The activist is looking elegant in this minimalist attire with a subtle makeover.
Take a look at her elegant outfit:
Yousafzai used Variety’s event to highlight the need for more diversified representation in Hollywood, stating that Muslim actors only make up only one percent of popular television series leads.
Abbott Elementary creator, Quinta Brunson, presented Yousafzai with her Variety honor, and called her one of “the most influential advocates of our time”.
Yousafzai recently revealed the first slate of projects that her production company, Extracurricular, is working on:
- a documentary on the historic haenyeo fisherwomen society of Jeju Island, South Korea.
- a feature adapted from Elaine Hsieh Chou’s book Disorientation.
- a series based on Asha Lemmie’s New York Times best-selling novel, Fifty Words for Rain.
All her films will be based on women’s empowerment, and Variety quoted Yousafzai as saying,
“What I hope to bring to the table are the voices of women of color, and debut writers and Muslim directors and writers. I hope we can have a wide range of perspectives and we challenge some of the stereotypes we hold in our societies”.
