Chris Martin's a VERY lucky man! Gwyneth Paltrow bares her toned flesh in revealing cut-out dress

Knockout: Gwyneth Paltrow looked sensational in Michael Kors for the designer's Golden Heart Gala at New York's Cunard Building

Twitter was buzzing with fans complemented her flawless look, and Kors himself spoke for the majority when he wrote a line of praise for the star.

The designer tweeted: 'Chic, glamorous and the ultimate philanthropist, @GwynethPaltrow looks fabulous in my black cut-out dress #GoldenHeart.'

Dream team: Gwyneth with her friends Ryan Murphy and Michael Kors

Chris Martin's wife set the rather complicated but stunning dress off perfectly with slicked back Bond girl ponytail and subtle gold studs.

She kept her make up minimal.

And using a stroke of genius, Gwyneth (or her stylist) opted for bright white shoes, which ensured the look remained fresh and not hideously black-tie and '80s.

Gorgeous dames: Leigh Lezark and Anna Wintour both looked great, too

Golden girls: Chanel Iman and Cody Horn glittered in tribute to the night

Gwyneth was there to show support for her long-term friend, and Glee creator, Ryan Murphy, who was being honoured with the Outstanding Service to the Community award.

In addition to Murphy, famed designer Michael Kors received the Lifetime Achievement award for his continued philanthropic work.

The website describes the awards as 'as a model of how the strengths and resources of the private and public sectors combine to support God’s Love We Deliver in our critical work'.
