Scores of Hollywood's A-list have turned out at women's marches in Washington and other US cities to send President Donald Trump a pointed message that he was in for a fight.
Madonna, Julia Roberts, Scarlett Johansson, Cher, Alicia Keys, Katy Perry, Emma Watson, Amy Schumer and Jake Gyllenhaal were just some of those at Saturday's march in Washington, where officials said the crowd could number more than half a million.
In New York, Helen Mirren, Cynthia Nixon and Whoopi Goldberg joined a crowd of protesters marching to Trump's home at Trump Tower. In Park City, Utah, where the Sundance Film Festival was underway, TV host Chelsea Handler was joined by Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart and more.
In Los Angeles, Miley Cyrus, Jamie Lee Curtis and Jane Fonda were among tens of thousands protesting.
Cher said she hoped people could now mobilise against Trump the way they mobilised against the Vietnam War.
"I think people are more frightened than they've ever been," the 70-year-old singer said. "Everything that we gained, we're just watching slip away. It's not only one thing, it's everything - the progress that we made is all going away."
Asked whether she thought the new president would hear the message of the march, she replied: "I don't care what he's hearing. It's important what the people are hearing. He'll hear it, but he won't pay attention."
In New York, Goldberg told a cheering crowd that "what's at stake is everything you believe in ... We're going to show America what we can do in New York."
Mirren, who is British, said that on this day, she was a New Yorker. And Nixon said she was there "to tell Washington they need to think twice about messing with women and think twice about messing with New Yorkers. We will not just roll over and play dead."
In Park City, singer John Legend and actors Benjamin Bratt and Jason Ritter, along with actresses Theron, Stewart, Maria Bello and Laura Dern, were among an estimated 8,000 people who turned out with Handler. "Love, not hate, will make America great," they chanted.
