Charlize Theron, Issa Rae, Margot Robbie & Dozens of Stars Step Out for THR's Women in Entertainment Gala - See Every Photo!

Charlize Theron, Issa Rae, and Margot Robbie were among the many stars who stepped out for The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Breakfast Gala!

Many stars walked the red carpet for the annual event on Wednesday morning (December 7) at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

The annual breakfast coincided with the publication of The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Power 100 Women in Entertainment list, and celebrated the accomplishments of entertainment leaders and changemakers in Hollywood.

Charlize was honored with the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award and Issa was recognized with the Equity in Entertainment Award.

Seth Rogen presented the award to Charlize and she said in her acceptance speech, “I take this leadership award less as a mark of accomplishment, but more as a challenge to keep doing the work. I want us to keep each other accountable, use each other as resources and push each other to keep using our voices and platforms for something greater than ourselves.”

Issa‘s Insecure co-star Yvonne Orji presented the award to her and said, “There are a few things you can bet that Issa Rae will always do…But what stands out most for me, is her unfailing support of the marginalized, her extreme selflessness, her dogged belief that everyone can win and people of color should have the same opportunity to fail and be given another chance at success—because that’s true equality.”
