The Breakthrough Prize Awards 2026: The Best Dressed
The Breakthrough Prize Awards, often referred to as the “Oscars of Science,” celebrates the research achievements of scientists across life sciences, fundamental physics, and mathematics. Founded by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Anne Wojcicki, Priscilla Chan, Sergey Brin, Julia and Yuri Milner, the annual event gathers some of the leading researchers from institutions such as Stanford University, MIT, Oxford, and Columbia University.
The 2026 edition, held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, marks the 14th year of the Breakthrough Prize. The event brought together a mix of scientists, innovators, and celebrities, with the red carpet featuring a series of celebrity appearances. The guest list included names such as Gigi Hadid, Anne Hathaway, Robert Downey Jr., Zoe Saldana, director Darren Aronofsky, Ben Affleck, Evan Spiegel, Margot Robbie, and Lionel Richie.

Capri Pants Are Quietly Trending Again Among Celebrities
Capri pants are trending again and now, celebrities are leaning into a high-waisted version. The capri pants trend began in the 1950s, with figures like Audrey Hepburn popularizing the trend. Earlier, styles were worn with a lower rise in later revivals. In 2026, it has evolved into a high-waisted version, often paired with structured outerwear like bomber jackets and heeled flip-flops.
