Monica Lewinsky is shining brightly on the red carpet in a sequin gown.
The former White House intern, 52, who lived through one of the biggest scandals in American history when she became involved with President Bill Clinton, has gone on to become a successful podcaster and anti-bullying advocate. Currently the host of Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky, the brunette stunner has undergone a major glow-up in recent years that shows she simply gets better with age.
Lewinsky headed to London, England, to attend the BAFTA Invest in Talent Gala 2026 at The Chancery Rosewood this week, and dazzled on the red carpet in a sequin gown in a deep red shade. With her brown hair done in loose, tousled waves, the podcaster looked better than ever.
Dealing With Her Past
In a recent episode of her podcast featuring actress Jameela Jamil, Lewinsky shared that while she’s “more confident” in herself these days than ever before, she still deals with significant trauma from her past. While Clinton faced impeachment proceedings in December 1998 as a result of their relationship, Lewinsky was tortured publicly for years, constantly ridiculed as she attempted to live a normal life. While the ’90s are now behind her, Lewinsky said she still faces repercussions of her actions.
“Every time I’m able to be more myself in the world and have it reflected back to me that that’s what’s been received, I think that I shed skin of trauma for myself from the older days,” she explained, Parade previously reported.
“I still live in a lot of fear,” she continued. “It’s like… I don’t know that this will make sense. I know it will make sense; it just may sound crazy. Which is almost like an earthquake will happen, and everything I’ve built in the last 11 years — oh gosh, it’s making me emotional — will be taken away again, and I’ll somehow find myself without purpose or without an income. So I think in that sense, it’s just trying to hold on to what’s now and not what was.”
