On June 6, 2025, New York City’s Greenwich Hotel Courtyard in Tribeca set the stage for an inspiring afternoon at the Chanel Tribeca Festival Women’s Luncheon, an event dedicated to celebrating the transformative impact of the Through Her Lens program. This initiative, which champions female and non-binary filmmakers, continues to empower a new generation of storytellers in an industry hungry for fresh perspectives.
Among the distinguished guests was Jurnee Smollett, whose radiant presence and unmistakable style amplified the event’s message of creative empowerment. Dressed in a sleek Chanel ensemble that artfully blended modern sophistication with timeless elegance, Jurnee embodied the spirit of the luncheon—a harmonious mix of artistic heritage and forward-thinking innovation. Known for her compelling performances and advocacy for diverse voices in film, she engaged warmly with fellow luminaries, lending her voice to discussions on the importance of representation and the power of storytelling.
