In case you missed it, ELLE’s May issue was devoted to women in music.

The magazine threw a massive soirée in April at the Edison Ballroom in NYC to honor empowering females in the industry. Performers included Kelly Rowland, Rita Ora (who appears on ELLE magazine’s May cover), and Martha Wainwright.

Catch a video recap of the event below, and read parts of the issue online here. Kudos to ELLE for recognizing talented women in the industry!
