9 Times Celebs Told the World That Women Matter, Dammit!

If you were online yesterday, we’re guessing you’re with us when we say we wish every day were International Women’s Day. The Interwebs were covered with inspiring pictures, quotes, videos, articles…all celebrating girl power and female pride. Plenty of celebrities made sure to show their support—here are just a few of our favorite celeb #IWD2015 moments. 

1. When Lena Dunham paid homage to Rosie the Riveter

Happy International Women’s Day! To all the incredible women I know and the ones I don’t – I wish you opportunity, power and joy. I wish you courage in the fight. And I hope beyond hope that you get a nap once in awhile. Thank you to @sads_tagram for the exciting photoshop job. every girl should have one of these

2. When Cameron Diaz (and Lupita Nyong’o, and Nicole Richie, and more) showed us that we still have a ways to go

We’re Not There…Yet. Inequality exists at work / at home / at the doctor’s office / at school – and yet these issues do not get the attention they deserve. It’s almost like we’re NOT THERE at all. Today is International Women’s Day and I am taking part in a campaign that literally removes women from the media. You too can participate.

9. When Ellie Goulding fangirled over her fellow female athletes 

No big deal and stop going on about it but I spent International Women’s Day with THE FASTEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD @jetg5 and Ironman triathlete and Paralympian @alwaystri plus a whole load of badass women killing it on the track and field, even I got involved in the 400m sprints right before this flight back to my London. #NikeLA #NRC
