Gwyneth Paltrow enjoyed a star-studded girls' night out on Thursday (17.04.14).

The 'Iron Man 3' actress, who announced her split from Chris Martin late last month after 10 years of marriage, was spotted dining out with a huge group of female friends, including Naomi Watts, Nicole Richie and Gwen Stefani, in Los Angeles.

A source told E! News that they were "dressed to the nines" for dinner at upmarket vegan hotspot Crossroads on Melrose Avenue.

'Fifty Shades of Grey' director Sam Taylor-Wood, E! chat show host Chelsea Handler and Stella McCartney also joined them for the festivities.

The British fashion designer posted a photograph of them all on Instagram with the caption: "Gals night out! Gwen, Gwyneth, Nicole, Chelsea, Naomi, Sam and I x Stella."

Gwyneth, who has a daughter, Apple, nine, and son, Moses, eight, has been partying up a storm since returning from her break-up holiday to the Bahamas with Coldplay frontman Chris recently.

The former couple helped her co-star Robert Downey Jr. celebrate his 49th birthday in LA on April 6.

Gwyneth, 41, also attended Drew Barrymore's baby shower with Cameron Diaz and Reese Witherspoon at the 'Fifty First Dates' star's home in the Hollywood Hills last weekend, before throwing a big party for her son Moses' eight birthday.

The blonde beauty recently admitted that she is very grateful for all of the support she has received since ending her marriage.
