Loose waves and simple ankle-strap sandals rounded out both of their looks for the evening.
It was a big night for Witherspoon, as she received the Entertainment Innovator of the Year Award at the event, as well as appearing on the magazine's latest issue. "I'm so excited to share this honor with some incredible artists, architects and thinkers," she stated on Instagram. "Today is a new day for women in film. It's time for change."
And the Academy Award winner wasn't the only style star in attendance. Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Campbell, Joe Jonas, Joan Smalls, and a slew of others toasted to the big night. Paltrow kept with the party's black-and-white theme and opted for a black tuxedo blazer and midi skirt with a daring slit.
