The awardees of the second edition of the Front & Female Awards Singapore were announced at a live ceremony held at Raffles Sentosa Singapore on September 2

At this year’s Front & Female Awards Singapore ceremony, Tatler was delighted to announce six exceptional women as the 2026 awardees. Selected with the support of our expert Voting Committee, comprising influential leaders from across Singapore, the winners were chosen from 17 nominees following an extensive vetting process that began with more than 150 nominations.

The Front & Female Awards recognise individuals whose work is inspiring progress for women and girls and effecting meaningful change—whether by breaking barriers and blazing a trail for others, advancing equality and opportunity, driving innovation, supporting underserved communities or creating new ways for women to thrive.

Held on September 2 at Raffles Sentosa Singapore, this year’s ceremony centred on the theme Forward: a celebration not only of how far women have come, but of the women shaping what comes next. Additional supporting partners included Fiore Dorato, Lladró, PHS Hairscience, Robert Mondavi, World of Ying and Zeekr.

From pioneering autonomous underwater technology and developing courageous female leaders to advancing reproductive choice, advocating for women's health, empowering women through business and professionalising caregiving through technology, this year's winners represent the many ways women are helping to build a more inclusive future.
