If only we could all pull ourselves together like Gwyneth Paltrow when we were sick.
The 47-year-old Goop founder stepped out for Saturday night's Baby2Baby Gala in Culver City, California, looking glam in a sleeveless nude dress with a pleated skirt. The "Avengers: Endgame" star wore her hair straight and her makeup was simple, save for a bright red lip.
You wouldn't know she was under the weather. However, Paltrow let her fans in on the fact she wasn't at her best, taking to her Instagram Story ahead of the event to thank her hairstylist and makeup artist.
"I'm so ill but I have to pop in to an event thank god for @georgieeisdell and @teddycharles35," she wrote alongside a photo that showed the actress lying down in a fluffy robe.
Paltrow stepped out for a good cause. Baby2Baby looks for high-profile celebs to highlight their mission of helping provide basic necessities to children living in poverty.

For nearly a decade, Baby2Baby has distributed more than 70 million items to children in homeless shelters, domestic violence programs and foster care, as well as to other children who have lost everything in the wake of disaster.
Other attendees at the event included Katy Perry, Kobe Bryant and Jennifer Garner. Nicole Richie and Ali Wong encouraged attendees to "whip out" their phones to donate to the charity through an electronic system.
Chrissy Teigen was honored during the evening with the Giving Tree Award. Her husband, singer John Legend, presented her with the award symbolizing her commitment to children in need.
"I feel honored to be honored," Teigen said.
Ellen DeGeneres, Kenan Thompson and Andy Cohen congratulated Teigen in a video message.
Teigen said she and Legend have tried to instill the importance of giving to the less fortunate in their young children, Luna and Miles.
"Luna is no stranger to packing up all of her toys and sending them off, and knowing that people are going to open them and love them more and be so excited by them," she said.
Paula Abdul closed the event by performing a few of her popular songs including "Cold Hearted" and "Opposites Attract."
Past honorees include Garner, Paltrow, Drew Barrymore, Kate Hudson, Kerry Washington and Jessica Alba.
