Here’s What a Woman Will Do Better in the White House, Say Stars at Elle’s Women in Hollywood Awards

Elle hosted its annual Women in Hollywood awards on Monday night at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons. The event, which was sponsored by L'Oreal Paris, Hearts on Fire, and Calvin Klein, paid homage to Amy Adams, Kathy Bates, Felicity Jones, Anna Kendrick, Aja Naomi King, Helen Mirren, Lupita Nyong'o, and Kristen Stewart.

When you get a group of women together to celebrate one another's accomplishments, the conversation turns to a lot more than just style and beauty. With just 14 days left before voting day and a red carpet filled with some of Tinsel Town's leading ladies, it was only natural that the evening's chatter centered around the upcoming election. The women of the hour were proud to proclaim: "#Imwithher" and raved about why now is the right time for a female commander in chief. So we seized the opportunity to ask everyone from Kathy Bates to Lucy Hale: "Why will a woman do it better in the White House?"
