WCW: Adele

With a powerful voice and an even more powerful spirit, Adele is the perfect choice for our #WCW this week!

Adele's rise to fame began in 2008 with the release of her first album, 19. Her success in the United States was slow, but Saturday Night Live put her on top of the charts by Fall 2008, and she went on to win Best New Artist at the GRAMMYs in 2009. Her sophomore album, 21, dropped in early 2011. However, she had to undergo throat surgery. But Adele came back on top as she made her return to music live music at the 2012 GRAMMYs, where she also won six awards, including the night's top honor - Album of the Year.

With continuous momentum, it's no surprise Adele's newest album, 25, has been a massive success. The debut single, "Hello," debuted number one nearly worldwide and was the first song in the United States to sell one million digital copies in a week. When the full album was released in November, Adele broke records for having the largest debut for most copies sold in the United States, the U.K., Canada, and New Zealand. More than 3 million copies of 25 were sold in the U.S. in the first week, and it's charted to surpass 5 million albums sold by the end of the week.

Adele's recognition goes beyond the music industry. In 2013, she won the GRAMMY, Golden Globe, and Academy Award for her song "Skyfall," which was featured in the James Bond film with the same name. She holds Guiness World Records for her insane and unprecedented sales. TIME magazine named her as one of the most influential people in the world in 2012.

Even with all her success, Adele has very much remained the same. She still maintains a strong sense of self and amazing sense of humor. During her album release week, she dressed up as an Adele impersonator for the BBC. Adele also gave birth to her son, Angelo, October 2012, showing women that, yes, you really can have it all.

We congratulate Adele on all of her record-breaking achievements, and we can't wait to see, or hear, what she does next!

WCW: Clare Bowen

Our #WCW this week is a cut above the rest! This week we're loving actress Clare Bowen.

Clare is best known for her portrayal of Scarlett O'Connor on ABC's Nashville. Before making the move from her native Australia to the United States, she was also featured in a variety of movies and TV shows. Clare also is gifted in the musical arena with experience in musical theatre with productions like Spring Awakening.

Clare is also well-known for her enviable, lush locks. However, she recently made headlines when she chopped them off in favor of an equally gorgeous pixie cut. In a Facebook post revealing the choice, Clare discussed how it's "just hair" and there are more important things to be concerned about.

But Clare's new hair is more than just a statement, and it's not the first time her hair has gone through drastic change. Clare is a childhood cancer survivor, and her hair grew back after she lost it all from rigorous treatment. In her post, Clare said she was motivated after hearing a girl who was bald say she wanted to be a princess, but couldn't because she didn't have the hair for it. Everything Clare is doing is motivated by inner beauty, and that's something truly beautiful.

We applaud Clare's decision, and it's amazing to see someone who's as equally beautiful inside and out.

WCW: Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence is just as much The Girl on Fire as her fictional counterpart, and there's no better reason to make her our #WCW! The final installment of The Hunger Games film series debuts this weekend, and while her run as Katniss Everdeen may be ending, Jennifer's fire is far from going out.

Jennifer became a household name from her work in The Hunger Games and the newest X-Men movies. She received Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for her roles in Winter's Bone and American Hustler, and she won both awards for her lead role in Silver Linings Playbook. While her experience now is mostly in the acting realm, she and pal Amy Schumer revealed plans to write and produce a female comedy together.

Jennifer is beloved for more than just her talent, though. She is known for being very outspoken, and she has remained herself throughout her rise to the top. Some of her most memorable moments include tripping on the red carpet and stairs during awards shows, photobombing friends on the red carpet, and regularly speaking whatever is on her mind. 

 Jennifer is also an advocate for equality and better treatment for women, especially in relation to how they are portrayed in Hollywood. She penned an essay for Lenny Letter regarding the pay gap between men and women. Also, she challenges how the media choose to show women's bodies, criticizing the constant pressure to be thinner and "perfect."

We admire Jennifer's work, but we admire her as a person even more. We love her fearlessness to be her own person and the confidence she exudes.  

WCW: Little Mix

This week we don't just have just one #WCW...we have four! We're celebrating Little Mix - the powerful musical group featuring Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jade Thirlwall.

Little Mix was formed during the eighth season of the British show The X Factor in 2011. Under the advisement of Tulisa Contostavlos, they became the first group to win the singing competition. They are still the only all-female group to have won any version of The X Factor worldwide.

Since 2011, Little Mix have released three studio albums. Their debut album, DNA, was released in 2012. It charted Top 5 in eight countries, reaching No. 2 in the UK and No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard charts. They were the first girl group to do chart in the U.S. since The Pussycat Dolls, and broke the Spice Girls's record has the highest-charting British girl group in the U.S. The most recent, Get Weird, was released worldwide last Friday, November 6.

Little Mix are heavily involved in the creative process of their albums. All four girls have writing credits on nearly all of the songs they have released, which breaks the stereotypical mold of how most people perceive female pop stars and their music. The girls also incorporate lots of acapella, beat boxing, and scatting elements into their music.

Little Mix are strong activists against bullying and cyber-bullying, specifically the BeatBullying campaign. As females in the media, they are all subject to heavy criticism, but they all believe in being better than the bullies and their words. They have also participated in Sports Relief and Children in Need philanthropic efforts.

We are so excited about how much Little Mix has accomplished! It is refreshing to see strong female friendships in the media, and we love how supportive and protective they are of one another. Girl power!
