The Celebrities At The 2025 Breakthrough Prize Ceremony Swapped Color For Timeless Neutrals

The Academy Awards on March 2 marked the end of a stellar award season. Since then, your weekends have likely been quieter, while celebrities recoup from back-to-back ceremonies. But in true Hollywood form, not everyone is keeping a low profile. From time to time, stars have attended smaller soirées like the Billboard Women In Music event, the 2025 Vogue World: Hollywood Announcement, and the 2025 iHeart Radio Music Awards — each time reviving their red carpet best. And on April 5, your favorite fashion muses did it again. At the 11th annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony, A-listers convened to celebrate the “Oscars of science,” as it’s affectionately called. Before honoring the world’s top scientists in life sciences, fundamental physics, and mathematics, Gwyneth Paltrow, Zoe Saldaña, Kate Hudson, and Jessica Chastain (to name a few VIP guests) walked the red carpet in luxe looks galore.

One of the first stars to arrive at Santa Monica’s Barker Hanger was Paltrow, who sourced the Donna Karen New York archives for her OOTN. She got her hands on a two-tone white trumpet gown from the label’s Resort 2015 collection. Then, the Goop founder met up with Saldaña during the step-and-repeat circuit. The newly-minted Oscar winner styled an off-the-shoulder brown dress, courtesy of Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2025. Underneath the midi peeked a mesh rose-printed bodysuit, which mimicked the look of a chest tattoo. The off-the-shoulder streak continued with Drew Barrymore, Olivia Wilde, and Hudson’s attire. Hudson, for one, brought the drama in head-to-toe sparkles, courtesy of Elie Saab. Her Spring 2024 Couture gown was partially-sheer, complete with cascading sequins and billowy statement sleeves.

But wait — there’s more. Keep scrolling for the best celebrity looks from the 2025 Breakthrough Prize Ceremony.
