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.

Michelle Williams chose a black gown with a gold draped detail across one side from the neckline, while Paris Hilton wore a black corset-style top and matching skirt covered in silver stones, paired with opera gloves. Anne Hathaway followed the same palette in a one-shoulder asymmetrical gown, styled with a Bulgari clutch and jewellery.

Olivia Rodrigo’s Latest Outfit Has a 1970s Backstory
Olivia Rodrigo was spotted in London with a look that was drawn from the 1970s fashion. The singer was at BBC Studios wearing a polka dot mini dress styled in a way that evoked vintage fashion.

The dress, originally designed by Rudi Gernreich in 1971, featured a classic polka dot pattern with a collared neckline and short sleeves. The standout detail of the outfit was the cropped green sweater vest layered over it. The added layer altered the silhouette adding a pop of green, combining 1970s references with a modern edge.
Gernreich, an Austrian-American designer, was a key figure in 1960s and 1970s fashion. He is known for pairing bold fabrics with unconventional pieces. His style was embraced by figures such as Twiggy and Peggy Moffitt.

The singer styled the outfit with black leather pumps with short block heels and a white knee-length socks. Her accessories were minimal and not overboard, including a black Paloma Wool shoulder bag and black Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses.
Olivia was at BBC Studios to promote her third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.
