Well, first and foremost the first three are women, obviously…. Secondly, they are women who have joined hands in the fight to bring change to the living conditions of many women around the globe. On March 12th in New York city at the Hudson Theatre, many women leaders and popular figures like Queen Raina, Meryl Streep, Hillary Clinton, Diane Von Fustenberg, Donna Karan, and many more, came together for the “Women in the World” summit under the UN to discuss many the global issues affecting woem today. Global issues such as human trafficking, rape as a tool of war, lack of education, and the desperate need to empower women affecting women’s lives all over the world were all discussed. The summit started March 12th and ended today March 14th, with high hopes for more summits in the future. 
Some other international personalities such as Stephanie Okereke (Nollywood famous actress~ ‘Nigerian Hollywood’ for those who do not know) took the stage with Meryl Streep interpreting scenes directly related to women’s experiences around the world.
Also this week, Rachel Roy (I absolutely love her style and designs) got to dress Stephanie Okereke for the occasion, she even posted four looks for the actress on twitter and asked her fans to help her pick the best look for the actress to wear at the summit. You can check them out below or go to Rachel Roy’s twittpic here to see her request. I personally preferred the dark blue dress at top right, what you think??
