Maude Apatow named 2025 WIF Max Mara Face of the Future honoree
Published
November 10, 2025
Actress Maude Apatow has been named the 2025 recipient of the WIF Max Mara Face of the Future Award.
The award’s 20th anniversary was commemorated with an exclusive cocktail celebration at Chateau Marmont on November 5. The event continued the following night with WIF Honors annual gala at the Beverly Hilton, where Apatow was presented with the 2025 WIF Max Mara Face of the Future award.
Established in 2006, the award recognizes an actress at a pivotal point in her career—one who exemplifies both artistic excellence and a commitment to community impact.
Apatow, 27, made her acting debut in Judd Apatow’s “Knocked Up” and has since appeared in projects including “Euphoria”, “The King of Staten Island”, and “One of Them Days”. This year, she steps into directing with “Poetic License”.
“The best part of working in the industry so far has been the women I’ve met along the way,” Apatow said, while accepting the award.
“That bond and commitment we have to each other is something we need now more than ever. I owe everything to the women in my life who have inspired me and uplifted me either personally or through their work. I will dedicate the rest of my life and career advocating for women the way so many of you have done for decades.”
Over the past twenty years, the award has celebrated a roster of talent, including Lili Reinhart, Hailee Steinfeld, Chloë Grace Moretz, Katie Holmes, Zoë Saldana, Elizabeth Banks, Emily Blunt, and Maria Bello, among others. Many have since gone on to earn major awards and expand their influence as producers, directors, and advocates for greater representation in Hollywood.
