A dazzling array of celebrities stepped out for the WSJ. Magazine’s Innovator Awards' Show on Tuesday night - but despite the event being littered with pop stars and young actresses, it was the older crowd that stole the spotlight.
Salma Hayek, 58, and Penelope Cruz, 50, were the talk of the red carpet at the Awards show, which was held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City on Tuesday, October 29.
The duo, who are starring together in Bandidas in 2006, held hands as they posed for cameras, showing off their eye-catching gowns and enviable figures.
Hayek wore a bold, strapless, floor length red dress with a fitted bodice and a column-shaped skirt. She wore her dark hair down with a pink lip.

Cruz sparkled in a daring fitted silver gown, compete with a thigh-high split.
She wowed with a low-cut draped top and completed the look with strappy heels and a matching silver clutch.
The two are longtime friends, with Hayek often calling Cruz her 'soul sister,' and supporting each other both on and off-screen.
Cruz even revealed that she once lived with the Frida actress when she first arrived in the U.S., forming a sister-like bond that continues today.
The movie stars were joined by the likes of Sarah Paulson, 49, and Reese Witherspoon, 48, to celebrate the night dedicated to innovation and creativity.
Paulson presented the Fashion Innovator award to Marc Jacobs at the event.
She looked demure in a white dress with flower cut outs, featuring an off-the-shoulder bust and a dramatic skirt and chic pointed toes, with her hair left straight.
Witherspoon wore a classic one-shouldered black dress with a ruffle on the skirt, pairing it with black heels.
