ELLE is toasting to its nine Women in Hollywood honorees tonight, including Angelina Jolie, Gal Gadot, and Halle Berry, at its annual Women in Hollywood celebration in Los Angeles. But the magazine and industry are also celebrating the seven rising screen queens featured in ELLE‘s Young Hollywood portfolio who came out tonight dressed for the occasion.
ELLE spotlighted Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley, King Richard‘s Demi Singleton and Saniyya Sidney, CODA‘s Emilia Jones, Batgirl‘s Leslie Grace, The Queen’s Gambit‘s Moses Ingram, and Birds of Paradise‘s Diana Silvers.
Four of the Young Hollywood portfolio women attended the ceremony tonight, and chose looks meant to stand out.
Singleton opted for a gradient fringe mini dress from Ralph Lauren while Sidney wore an Oscar de la Renta bubblegum pink strapless mini dress with a sweetheart neckline:

And Silvers wore a black double-breasted velvet suit by Celine:
Silvers spoke in her ELLE Young Hollywood interview about how her own career aspirations were shaped in part by the female directors she worked with like Olivia Wilde on Booksmart. “I want to break into directing at some point,” Silvers said. “It’s really inspiring to be around women who are doing that because it shows you, ‘Hey, it’s possible.’”
Ingram, meanwhile, touched on how working alongside legends Frances McDormand and Denzel Washington in Macbeth, inspired her to push harder. “At this point in my career, the fact that they thought I was worthy enough to be in the same room with them was crazy,” she said. “You don’t want to be the weak link in the chain, so you just rise to the occasion, and jump in.”
