Gwyneth Paltrow was seen cozying up to Chamath Palihapitiya, a venture capitalist known for being a Trump donor.

During her red carpet appearance, she was accompanied by Salma Hayek and Lauren Sanchez as they represented the youthful-looking stars in their fifties at the 11th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony on Saturday.

The event took place at Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, where Paltrow, aged 52, shone in a strapless white gown with a floor-length skirt, displaying her glowing beauty.

As the founder of Goop, Paltrow, who is the only one among the trio to openly discuss her use of Botox, confidently made her way onto the star-studded red carpet, followed by actress Hayek, 58, and former journalist Sanchez, 55, showcasing their stylish ensembles.

Paltrow was seen in a selfie Palihapitiya shared on X, formerly Twitter, immediately after snapping the photo with the star. 

The entrepreneur, who also previously served as an early senior executive at Facebook, captioned the photo with three heart-surrounded, smiling emojis. 

Paltrow, while often encouraging her fans to vote, is not vocally political. However, she also got backlash a few years ago for saying she was ‘open-minded’ about controversial politician RFK Jr.

In contrast to Paltrow’s look, the From Dusk Till Dawn star modeled a sultry, black look featuring a high-neck, sheer top layered over a low-cut slip dress.

Sanchez put on a glamorous display in a striking red dress as she arrived on the arm of her husband-to-be, billionaire businessman Jeff Bezos, 61.

The annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony, popularly known as the Oscars of Science, is a gathering of stars in Hollywood and in science to honor laureates in the fields of life sciences, fundamental physics and mathematics.

Leading the glamorous arrivals on the red carpet, Paltrow turned heads in an ethereal, white dress with a tight-fitting, mermaid silhouette.

She left her blonde hair down in natural, subtle waves, which were parted slightly to the side.

She opted out of a necklace to showcase her bare décolletage but accessorized with silver, statement earrings that twinkled as they peeked out from behind her beach waves.

She also sported a dainty ring, one on each of her ring fingers, on both hands to complete her understated, elegant look.

Paltrow opted for a soft and dewy makeup look to accentuate her smooth skin, looking stunning in peachy-pink blush and champagne gold highlighter. 

Meanwhile, Hayek rocked a contrasting look with a black, chiffon blouse paired with a flowing, waterfall skirt cascading around her curves.

She opted for a bold, red lip to pop out against the dark color and accessorized with an abundance of gold and diamond jewelry.

Hayek — who once said she has never touched Botox and rather credited ‘meditation’ and ‘frequency machines’ for her youthful appearance — rocked a huge, statement necklace with dazzling diamonds arranged into a floral shape.

To match, she wore gold bangles, chain bracelets and a statement ring with the same floral design on her right hand. 

The Magic Mike’s Last Dance star, who is married to billionaire businessman François-Henri Pinault, styled her raven black tresses in bouncy, voluminous curls.

And to complete her sultry look, she sported a copper smoky eye paired with rosy pink blush to accentuate her age-defying beauty.

As for Sanchez, she arrived with her fiancé Bezos at the star-studded event. 

The couple are said to be planning their extravagant summer wedding and getting ready to tie the knot in Italy. 

The bombshell showcased her sculpted face and physique with a glamorous pink makeup look and a striking, satin gown.

The gown was styled like a sexy slip dress with skinny, spaghetti straps and a cowl-neck detail as additional, off-the-shoulder straps. 

Sanchez — who has never publicly addressed any cosmetic procedures or plastic surgery speculation — paired the figure-hugging dress with nude, patent leather pumps and a rhinestone-encrusted, Star Wars-inspired clutch purse.

As for Bezos, he looked dapper in a classic black and white tuxedo with a satin bowtie to match the lapels on his perfectly tailored blazer. 

Another power couple arriving at the star-studded soirée was Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan. 

The Facebook co-founder and Meta CEO donned an all-black tuxedo with his jacket unbuttoned.

He arrived wearing a pair of all-black, Ray-Ban Meta sunglasses as he arrived with his wife, who turned heads in her glamorous interpretation of a power suit.

She wore an oversize tuxedo jacket over a plain white top and a black, balloon midi skirt.

She completed her look with cream-colored, suede pumps and a crimson red lip for a pop of color.
