On April 15, 2023, at the 9th Annual Breakthrough Prize ceremony held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, Gal Gadot delivered a red-carpet look that balanced architectural tailoring with sharp, intentional footwear—proof that even at science’s most glamorous night, shoes still do much of the storytelling.
Known for her role in the Wonder Woman franchise, Gadot opted for an all-Saint Laurent ensemble designed by Anthony Vaccarello, anchoring the fluid silk blouse and high-waisted tailoring with pointed slingback pumps that sharpened the look from the ground up.
The result was a refined, modern take on red-carpet minimalism—one where proportion, polish, and footwear carried the visual impact rather than excess embellishment.
Her husband, Jaron Varsano, looked dashing in a sharp black suit, crisp white dress shirt, and an elegant dotted necktie. He completed the ensemble with a pair of shiny black shoes, adding class to his overall appearance.
His refined, stylish look complemented Gadot’s effortless beauty, and the couple’s chemistry was palpable as they graced the red carpet.

Saint Laurent Tailoring Sets the Foundation for Gadot’s Shoe-Led Look
For the glitzy event, dubbed the “Oscars of Science,” Gadot wore a long-sleeved black silk blouse with a high neckline and a neatly draped train designed by Anthony Vaccarello for the French brand’s Fall 2023 collection.
The high-waisted, slim black pants accentuated Gadot’s long legs. A sleek black belt from the same line was cinched around her waist to add a touch of refinement.
Gadot chose Graduated Link drop earrings from Tiffany & Co.’s Hardwear collection to complement her outfit, adding a touch of gold to the Red Notice star’s look.

Saint Laurent Slingback Pumps Sharpen the Entire Look
She completed her outfit with Saint Laurent slingback pumps, featuring thin straps fastened with rectangular gold buckles and sharp, pointed toes made of black leather engraved with alligators.
The thin stiletto heels gave the Fast & Furious star an extra height boost, making her look even more powerful and confident. With her thick, dark hair styled in natural waves and a nude satin lip tint, Gadot exuded effortless glamour and sophistication.

The Breakthrough Prize ceremony, which gathered celebrities to honor the new laureates in science, was Gadot’s latest public appearance.
She expressed her gratitude on Instagram, sharing a photo of herself on the red carpet and writing, “Thank you for having me at the Breakthrough Prize 2023. It was such an honor to be part of this amazing event and to be in the presence of so many amazing people.”
Earlier that year, Gadot leaned into a darker, more textural take on black while attending another high-profile fashion moment—this time trading red-carpet polish for runway-edge sophistication.
