Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts and Sienna Miller were among the stars who took to the stage in New York to support Hillary Clinton.

They were joined by fellow actresses Sarah Jessica Parker, Emily Blunt and Dame Helen Mirren for the fundraising concert at St James Theatre on Broadway.

Miller and Hathaway, who wore matching T-shirts showing their support for the Democratic presidential candidate, posed on stage with a Jeff Koons work called Gazing Ball (da Vinci Mona Lisa) which was being auctioned to raise funds for the campaign.

British star Miller, who moved to the US this year with her daughter Marlowe, had earlier told Variety that she was considering leaving if Donald Trump won next month’s presidential election.

“I’m really horrified ... I don’t know if I can stay if it goes the wrong way,’ she said. “So I’m really hoping that Hillary comes through.”

Others at the benefit, hosted by Billy Crystal, included Lena Dunham, Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Hamm and American stage star Andrea McArdle.

Mrs Clinton did not attend, but her husband Bill and daughter were both there.

The candidate instead sent a pre-recorded video message.
