On March 6, 2025, ELLE Spain marked International Women’s Day with the 5th edition of its prestigious ELLE x Women event at the El Beatriz Auditorium in Madrid, honoring women’s leadership, achievements, and aspirations under the theme “Women for Change.”
Hosted by journalist Cristina Gullón, the day brought together inspiring and courageous women to highlight key challenges, successes, and visions for an equal future.
The event honored actress Paz Vega, designer Sybilla, and businesswoman Alice Campello with the 2025 ELLE Women Awards for their impact and influence. Guests engaged in discussions on critical topics such as technology, education, wellness, and leadership through roundtables and talks featuring prominent figures, including Elvira Sastre, Vanesa Martín, Mirela Balic, Kareen Rispal, and Mariann Barrena. Joining the event live were also journalist Almudena Ariza and Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi, the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who delivered a compelling live address advocating for women’s rights.
Entertainment included standout performances from two great representatives of female talent and empowerment: Sara Socas and Rigoberta Bandini, who blended music with meaningful dialogue. The gala also marked a special milestone as ELLE began its 80th-anniversary celebrations.
With the participation of influential attendees and the support of partners CaixaBank, Renault, and Cantabrialabs, ELLE x Women 2025 reaffirmed its commitment to advancing meaningful change and amplifying the role of women in shaping the future.
