Thursday marked International Women's Day [1], and in honour of all the contributions [2] women have made — and will make — to the world, celebrities, style stars, and fashion designers took to Instagram to voice their support [3]. Emma Watson [4] made a sartorial statement with a satin jacket to celebrate female photographers and storytellers. Gisele Bündchen [5] shared a sweet photo with her daughter, Vivian, to promote love and compassion. Diane von Furstenberg inspired us to be brave.

How they chose to pay tribute may be different, but the message among the fashion community remained the same: when we champion women's rights and equality, and keep the dialogue open, everybody wins. Read through the slideshow to see all of the inspirational messages that were shared.
