Sharon Stone, Eva Longoria, Niecy Nash-Betts, Taika Waititi and other stars of the American film industry took part in the “Raising Our Voices” event organized by The Hollywood Reporter. The annual luncheon at Los Angeles’ Audrey Irmas Pavilion in Koreatown, which promotes “diversity, equality, inclusion and accessibility in Hollywood,” was held for the second time.

The 48-year-old Desperate Housewives star appeared in front of photographers in an elegant black leather dress with a flower at the neckline. Unexpectedly, 65-year-old Sharon Stone supported the same idea, but her chiffon flower on her red suit looked more voluminous.
