Gwyneth Paltrow was the image of the willowy Hollywood blonde when she hit the stage at the Beverly Hilton on Thursday.
The 51-year-old movie star was headlining the MAKERS Conference, an annual three-day summit with a focus on high-achieving women.
At this year’s edition, Gwyneth was on hand to speak about her wellness brand Goop, a lightning rod for publicity and controversy since its inception.
Letting her signature flaxen hair fall in silky curtains that framed her unmistakable features, Gwyneth rocked a sleek black look.
She modeled an elegant spotted blouse tucked into a solid pair of slacks, opting for naturalistic makeup and foregoing jewelry.

Gwyneth was interviewed onstage by her friend Ella Bell, co-author of the book Our Separate Ways: Black and White Women and the Struggle for Professional Identity.
The pair also found a moment to pose together offstage during the red carpet portion of the event, where Gwyneth hobnobbed with the organization’s brass.
She and Ella had their picture with MAKERS Women’s chief partnerships officer as well as its president Alicin Reidy Williamson.
As Gwyneth swanned around the conference, she mingled with her fellow wellness influencer Latham Thomas, who is known online as GlowMaven.
Backstage at the fete, Gwyneth could be spotted enjoying a green room conversation with pioneering fashion model Bethann Hardison.
Before heading off to the conference, Gwyneth treated her fans to a Q&A on her Insta Stories, where one of them raised the subject of her family.
Gwyneth was asked for her favorite picture of herself with her 17-year-old son Moses, and she responded with a selfie that was ‘Not fave but recent.’
She shares Moses and a 19-year-old daughter called Apple with her ex-husband, the smoldering Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

When Chris and Gwyneth publicly separated in 2014, Gwyneth inspired widespread mockery by referring to the split as a ‘conscious uncoupling.’
They have remained amicable and Gwyneth is famously even friendly with Chris’ much younger girlfriend Dakota Johnson of Fifty Shades Of Grey fame.
Gwyneth meanwhile is married to TV writer Brad Falchuk, who is known for his collaborations with Ryan Murphy, including Glee and American Horror Story.
In a recent interview, she defended the ‘nepo baby‘ phenomenon – in response to a backlash against celebrities’ children who went into showbiz.
She herself hails from a Hollywood family, as the daughter of St. Elsewhere producer Bruce Paltrow and Meet The Parents actress Blythe Danner.
Having followed her mother’s footsteps into acting, Gwyneth now sees ‘nothing wrong with doing or wanting to do what your parents do.’
The Academy Award-winning actress argued to Bustle: ‘Nobody rips on a kid who’s like: “I want to be a doctor like my dad and granddad.”‘
However she insisted that her own daughter is ‘a very private person’ who has no interest in even modeling for Goop.
