Busy Philipps and Beanie Feldstein glammed up to speak at Bridging the Distance: Celebrating Five Years of Abortion Access with The Brigid Alliance, which was held at The Times Center in Manhattan on Wednesday night.
The 44-year-old Mean Girls actress and the 30-year-old Drive-Away Dolls actress – both born Elizabeth – took a ‘cool girls’ snap backstage with Sara Bareilles.
Busy – who boasts 2.4M Instagram followers – explained via Instastory that she had to physically lay down in the back of her car for the sake of fashion ‘because, honey, we want to keep it snatched.’
Philipps looked more ready for the BDSM nightclub than a black-tie benefit, squeezed into a pink spiky latex corset over a matching maxi-skirt.
The ACLU artist ambassador for reproductive freedom finished off her kinky fetish-wear look with black peep-toe platform heels selected by styling duo Dani Charlton + Emma Rubenstein.

Busy – who also enlisted hairstylist Matthew Monzon and make-up artist Kindra Mann – has been obsessed with her septum piercing ever since she bought the $690 Maria Tash ‘Diamond Horizontal Eternity Hoop Earring’ on April 23.
Philipps previously revealed she had an abortion when she was 15 years old in her 2018 memoir, This Will Only Hurt a Little, and recalled her boyfriend’s mother accusing her of ‘murdering a baby.’
The Brigid Alliance Instagram account wrote: ‘The amazing @busyphilipps made us laugh, joined us in anger, and encouraged folks around the room to dig deep to support people forced to travel for abortion care.’
Justices Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh all declared Roe v. Wade was ‘precedent’ and ‘settled law’ while under oath during their confirmation hearings, but then promptly overturned it in 2022 with Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
Florida’s six-week abortion ban officially took effect Wednesday, which shut down the last abortion safe haven in the entire Southeast region of the States.
On April 9, Arizona Supreme Court upheld a long-dormant 1864 law (pre-dating its statehood) which bans nearly all abortions and threatens doctors with a two to five-year prison sentence for performing the procedure unless it’s necessary to save her life.
In August 2022, Kansas voters rejected and defeated the anti-abortion Value Them Both Amendment and, just three months later, Ohio voters overwhelmingly approved an amendment enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution.
While backstage, the Illinois-born funnywoman happily reunited with her Girls5Eva castmate Sara Bareilles, who performed her 2007 debut single Love Song and her 2013 track Brave.
