CNN questioner Jake Tapper asked the sole female candidate what she thought about Mr Trump's comments, made during an interview with Rolling Stone.
"I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr Trump said,” Ms Fiorina says, as the crowd applauded.
Mr Trump, who claimed he had only been talking about Ms Fiorina's "persona", tried to smooth things over.
“I think she’s got a beautiful face, and I think she’s a beautiful woman,” he said.
Ms Fiorina did not look impressed.
