The 55-year-old Academy Award winner — who earlier this summer made his first joint appearance with his estranged wife Jada Pinkett Smith since their separation was revealed — grinned ear to ear on the red carpet as he joined one of the evening's co-hosts, Antonio Banderas . Smith and the 63-year-old Pain And Glory actor were both dressed to the nines in contrasting tuxedoes. The Fresh Prince star was being feted as part of the Gala's efforts to raise funds, which are split between the Starlite Foundation — and the charities it supports — and the Lágrimas y Favores foundation, which Banderas founded.
The Gala was founded in 2010 by Sandra Garcia-Sanjuan — who was co-hosting the event — along with support from Banderas, Eva Longoria and Mario Bravo, according to the Gala's website, though Longoria and Bravo later left to start their own charity event.

He went all out on Sunday evening with a black three-piece tux featuring a jacket with slim, peaked lapels and a matching waistcoat over his white shirt.
He favored a classic black satin bow tie and added some more luster to his look with patent leather shoes, while sporting a closely trimmed beard. The Bad Boys star flashed a peace sign for the cameras while holding what looked like a yellow dahlia at his side. Antonio made the unusual choice to pair a charcoal coat with black tuxedo pants and patent leather shoes.
It looked as if he might have taken the jacket from a gray suit and added it to his outfit, as the jacket didn't feature the traditionally shiny lapels that distinguish a tuxedo jacket. The Spanish actor looked particularly youthful and wore his hair nearly as short as Will's as they posed together on the red carpet in front of a backdrop made of gold spangles. Will was being recognized for his contributions to a variety of charitable causes around the world.
The two leading men were also seen on the red carpet with founder Sandra Garcia-Sanjuan, who sported an enveloping hot pink dress and a regal floral tiara. went all out on Sunday evening with a black three-piece tux featuring a jacket with slim, peaked lapels and a matching waistcoat over his white shirt The Bad Boys star flashed a peace sign for the cameras while holding what looked like a yellow dahlia at his side He favored a classic black satin bow tie and added some more luster to his look with patent leather shoes, while sporting a closely trimmed beard Antonio made the unusual choice to pair black tux pants and patent leather shoes with a charcoal jacket that looked as if he might have come from a regular suit, as it didn't have the traditionally shiny lapels that distinguish a tuxedo jacket Antonio was joined on the red carpet by his model girlfriend Nicole Kimpel, who looked lovely in a single-shoulder green satin gown The two leading men were also seen on the red carpet with founder Sandra Garcia-Sanjuan, who sported an enveloping hot pink dress and a regal floral tiara Will was being recognized for his contributions to a variety of charitable causes around the world.
