She paired the look with matching silver strappy high heels with minimal makeup and accessories, which included a silver clutch.
The actress was there to present Salma Hayek with the award for innovation in entertainment and altruism. Prior to presenting the “From Dusk Till Dawn” actress with her award, Cruz highlighted Hayek’s kindness towards her in the early days of her career, saying “she took me to her house, and we’ve been holding hands ever since.”
Linda Evangelista looked chic in an oversized white suit with a black turtleneck underneath while walking the red carpet at the Innovator Awards. The legendary supermodel kept her accessories and makeup to a minimum, and wore her hair in a short bob.

In addition to Hayek, The Wall Street Journal also honored Apple’s Tim Cook, Charli XCX, Jon M. Chu, Marc Jacobs, “Saturday Night Live” and the WNBA at this year’s ceremony.

Salma Hayek wore a sleek strapless red floor-length Balenciaga gown with a structured waist. The actress kept her accessories to a minimum, opting for a black clutch and a big diamond ring on one hand.
While accepting her award, Hayek reflected on the early days of her career. The actress explained she was told it would be hard to find lead roles because of her Mexican heritage.
“My immediate reaction was, ‘Oh, my God, my heroes are dumb,’” she said. “Who would watch a Mexican? The 50 million Latinos that are living in this country, for starters. It didn’t occur to them.”
Hayek announced she would be receiving the honor on Instagram on Tuesday, saying she “could not be more grateful & honored,” and her fans were quick to congratulate her, writing, “You’re truly amazing! Thank you for giving us representation in media! Muchas felicidades Salma!”

Emily Ratajkowski wore a sleeveless JW Anderson mini dress with an excerpt from the 1914 book of essays “Art,” written by English art critic Clive Bell — specifically, an essay titled “Simplification and Design.”
“I love Jonathan, and I just saw this dress when it went down the runway and was like, ‘I want to wear that,’” the model told WSJ. about her look. She paired the dress with a black clutch and strappy black heels.
In part, the text on her dress read, “For if it be true that art is an index to the spiritual condition of an age, the historical consideration of art cannot fail to throw some light on the history of civilisation.”
