Jennifer Hudson, Pearlena Igbokwe, Melissa McCarthy and Sharon Stone were the guests of honor at the starry Variety Power of Women presented by Lifetime event in Beverly Hills Wednesday night, during which the musician, executive and actresses were commended for both their outstanding accomplishments and their dedicated commitment to a number of key causes.

The annual event, hosted by multi-hyphenate comedian Iliza Shlesinger, brought a long list of influential talents to a packed Beverly Hills Hotel for an evening centered on both the Power of Women honorees and the accomplished women profiled in the annual Women’s Impact Report, which highlights leaders in the entertainment industry. And while Hudson, Igbokwe, McCarthy and Stone all have much to brag about, each of the women used their time on stage to turn the focus to the charities they were supporting and highlight the many different ways the term “powerful” can be applied.
