Kelly Rowland and Julie Bowen lead the fashion pack as they show their support at the Ms. Foundation For Women event

A who's who of Hollywood TV stars came out in support of the Ms. Foundation For Women event in Beverly Hills, California on Tuesday night.

Celebrating 40 years of defending laws protecting women's rights, safety and wellbeing, it was certainly a cause close to the hearts of many influential stars.

US X Factor judge Kelly Rowland showed off her gym-honed physique as she donned an intricately embellished LBD with sexy backless feature, which she paired with black T-bar heels.

Clearly a believer in more is more, the pretty singer went overboard in the make-up department, with heavily rimmed pink lips and dramatic smoky eyes, while she had her
brunette tresses piled up on her head in a decidedly matronly 'do.

On the flip side, Modern Family's Julie Bowen kept it flirty and feminine in a bubblegum pink silk chiffon number, which she wore under a cropped black blazer for the chilly evening.

Her long, lean pins were elongated even further with a pair of beige strappy peep-toe pumps.
She wore her blonde mane back in a simple ponytail and played up her eyes while keeping her lips a soft pink to match her dress.

Former Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman went for an interesting rock chick-esque ensemble in a black and sheer horizontal striped knee-length dress with silver-grey underlay, knee-high black boots and a dark brown leather jacket.
She played up the femininity of the outfit with a jewelled cross brooch and draped silver necklace.

Her blonde hair was worn in soft curls around her shoulders and her make-up was picture-perfect, while she donned a pair of large black-rimmed glasses.

Felicity was thrilled to bump into old friend and fellow actress Frances Fisher on the red carpet.

The mother of Clint Eastwood's daughter, Francesca, went for a similar all-black biker look in pants, buckled boots and a long jacket that was zipped right to the top.
The redhead left her hair loose in a simple long bob and looked overly pale perhaps donning a little too much setting power.
Also in attendance was Garcelle Beauvais, who rocked a grey and silver backless jumpsuit with billowing sleeves, while actress Rebecca Da Costa let her legs do the talking in her high-necked, long-sleeved brown and green patterned dress which resembled feathers.
