Hayek wore a beautiful blue silk dress that was covered in black lace during the Gala.

The Frida star’s skirt also featured numerous sparkling sequins that gave her look a bit of extra shine as she posed on the function’s red carpet.

Ooh la la! The 56-year-old performer turned heads while wearing a particularly eye-catching outfit to the annual star-studded affair

The Academy Award-nominated performer accessorized with a silver clutch that paired well with the dark tones of her outfit.

Her beautiful brunette locks remained free-flowing and fell onto her shoulders.

The performer shared a video on her Instagram account on Wednesday afternoon in which she showed off her outfit for the evening.

Like many other Gala attendees, Hayek was named by Time as one of its 100 Most Influential People of 2023.

The performer’s longtime friend Penelope Cruz sat down for an interview with the media outlet, during which she spoke about one of their first encounters.

‘I knew almost no one in the U.S., but she picked me up from the airport and took me to her house. Meeting her was like reuniting with a sister you hadn’t seen in a long time,’ she recalled.

The actress, who costarred with Hayek in the 2006 feature Bandidas, also showered her longtime friend with praise for her acting skills.

‘She’s strong yet sensitive, and she can read people very well. That’s what makes her a great actor, her ability to put herself in someone else’s shoes,’ she said.

Cruz subsequently stated that the Eternals actress had served as an inspiration for her own career.

‘Her huge heart, great intelligence, and charisma are a winning combination, but the thing I’m most proud of is that she’s always entirely herself,’ she said.

The actress concluded by discussing how Hayek was dedicated to both assisting emerging talent and honing her craft.

‘She’s opened so many doors for people who followed. She is a total revolutionary, and there’s still so much she will do,’ she stated.
