Gorgeous and powerful. Ahead of Elle's annual Women in Hollywood Awards next week, the magazine has revealed its glossy covers featuring Elizabeth Banks, Jessica Lange, Annette Bening, Brie Larson, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

Each actress will grace her own separate cover for the November issue, which honors their contributions to the world of film both on camera and behind the scenes.

The coveted issue also will honor Jennifer Garner, Tina Fey, and Zoe Saldana. American Horror Story star Lange is this year's L'Oreal Paris Legend Award winner, while Larson has been chosen for the Calvin Klein Emerging Star Award.

The 21st annual Elle Women in Hollywood Awards will be hosted by actor-comedian Joel McHale in L.A. on Monday, Oct. 20. Presenters include Amy Poehler, Steve Carell, Bill Hader, Shirley MacLaine, and Renee Zellweger.
