Once again, the annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony has happened, and so many stars came dressed to impress for one of science’s biggest nights.
Unofficially known as the “Oscars for scientists,” so many stars arrived at the Barker Hanger on April 05 to honor “scientists changing the world.” The night honors three scientists for the awards of Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics, Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, and Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences.
So, along with scientists receiving their flowers, we also see some of our favorite stars turn heads with their looks on the red carpet.
The big night always brings a lot of A-listers, some like Glenn Close, Olivia Wilde, and Jessica Chastain, coming for multiple years in a row. Then, we also get stars who make rare red carpet-appearances like Danny DeVito, Jodie Foster, and Gwyneth Paltrow. But no matter how frequently they come, so many stars come to turn heads!
