At the 2025 Glamour Women of the Year Awards, Ms. Rachel made a moving gesture of solidarity with the children of Gaza, wearing a dress adorned with their artwork as she accepted her award.
The dress, an upcycled piece purchased for the event, featured embroidered drawings created by children in Gaza. Each illustration represented the stories and experiences of these young artists. Ms. Rachel worked closely with the children ahead of the ceremony to ensure their voices were reflected in the design.
“I’m thinking about all the little ones there and what we can do for them,” she told livestream hosts Brooks and Grace Ann Nader on the red carpet. “I’m carrying their stories in my heart. They all know about the dress, and they’re so excited.”
Known for her extensive media influence, including 13 billion YouTube views, nine books, a line of bestselling toys, and a Netflix series with over 53 million views, Ms. Rachel has leveraged her platform to advocate for children worldwide, with a focus on those living in crisis zones like Gaza.
“My love and care for children doesn’t stop at my own children,” she said. “It embraces every child of the world. Children should have human rights… and that grown-ups are failing children is so upsetting.”
Her advocacy and commitment to amplifying the voices of children in need earned her recognition as one of Glamour’s 2025 Women of the Year. By wearing their artwork on the red carpet, Ms. Rachel sent a message of empathy, solidarity, and hope that transcended borders.
