Gwyneth Paltrow cozies up to Trump donor as she joins Lauren Sanchez and Salma Hayek at star-studded gala

Gwyneth Paltrow was seen cozying up to Chamath Palihapitiya, a venture capitalist known for being a Trump donor, at the 11th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony on Saturday.

While making her red carpet arrival, she was joined by Salma Hayek and Lauren Sanchez as they led the youth-defying stars in their 50s at the glamorous gala.

At the prestigious event held at Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, Paltrow, 52, showcased her radiant beauty in a strapless, white gown with a floor-sweeping skirt.

The Goop founder — the only one out of the three who has been open about her experience with Botox — strutted onto the star-studded red carpet and was followed by fellow actress Hayek, 58, and former journalist Sanchez, 55, in fashionable display.

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

The entrepreneur, who also previously served as an early senior executive at Facebook, captioned the pH๏τo 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 тιԍнт-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.

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.
