Margot Robbie, Jessica Chastain, Olivia Wilde and Brie Larson lent their megawatt glamour to the star-studded 10th Annual Breakthrough Prize ceremony this week.
Thrown at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles, the glittering event is held in honor of those who have made accomplishments in math and science, with each awardee getting $3 million, according to a press release.
But in spite of its focus outside of showbiz, the swank gala reliably draws a cavalcade of A-list celebrities to troupe across the red carpet and hand out the prizes.
Hosted by James Corden, this year’s formal affair drew a formidable audience of boldface names, including none other than Margot, who was decked out in a swirling black gown.
Fresh off the thunderous billion-dollar triumph of her Barbie movie last year, Margot glowed while treating the photographers to her luminous smile on the red carpet.

Olivia on the other hand flashed the flesh in a peekaboo gown that featured a dangerously high thigh-slit, allowing to her not only to flash a bit of leg but also to hint at her derriere.
With cutouts at the sides to play up her taut midriff, Olivia’s turtleneck dress was a monochrome affair, with black at the front and white at the back, in contrast to her blood-red nail polish.
