It was all about celebrating today's strong, complex female television characters at Elle magazine's annual Women in Television event in LA on Tuesday night. Small-screen stars like Lena Dunham, Nina Dobrev [1], Gabrielle Union [2], Jaime King, and Tracee Ellis Ross all gathered at Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood for dinner, drinks, and inspiring speeches. Director-producer Shonda Rhimes had the company of her show's stars, including former Grey's Anatomy [3] actress Kate Walsh [4] and current Scandal star Katie Lowes; also on hand for the event — and sweetly sticking close together — were Modern Family's Sarah Hyland and her onscreen mom Julie Bowen. Jenna Dewan followed up her fun night at the Golden Globes at the party and was decked out in a low-cut gold dress.
