While her best friend dominated the stage alongside her ex-husband, it was down to Gwyneth Paltrow to keep a watchful eye on the children.

The Hollywood actress made her way to Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, California on Sunday, where she was seen planting a doting kiss on little Blue Ivy Carter’s head.

The cute duo, who were also joined by Gwyneth’s children Moses and Apple, appeared to be in fantastic spirits as they cheered Chris Martin and Beyonce during the showstopping half-time performance.

It was a family affair at the Superbowl yesterday with Chris Martin performing with his band Coldplay at half time and ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow there to support him with their children Apple and Moses.

And Gwyneth, as ever, looked super stylish just as we'd expect, making a casual outfit look perfectly put together in sleek blue jeans, shades and a very cute bit of knitwear to finish off the look.

The jumper is by Co, an up and coming brand from Los Angeles, started by couple Stephanie Danan and Justin Kern. Co is all about luxurious basics that fit into your existing wardrobe with ease. Think clean lines, tailoring and a muted colour palette. Gwyneth's little knit, previously spotted on Selena Gomez, is perfect for this transitional time between winter and spring.

In cream it's light and versatile while the ruffled high neck gives it some statement edge. Click (right) to buy it at Net-a-Porter and style with high waist jeans and ankle boots or layer under dungarees for a relaxed look this season.

The image sees the girls bringing their fashion A-game, with 11-year-old Apple sporting a navy and turquoise bomber with black and white stars across the shoulder, while Blue Ivy was hard to miss in a vibrant jacket with electric neon zig zags.

The Oscar-winner cut a relatively stylish figure by dressing he slender frame in a white top with a high neckline and tight blue jeans.

With her blonde tresses left loose in sleek waves, Gwyneth protected her eyes from the glare with round sunglasses, and carried a handbag over her shoulder.

Elsewhere, superstar Beyonce also shared images from her rehearsal at the stadium, on the field with Blue.

Rocking a black leather outfit that she also sported on stage, the 34-year-old could be seen gazing into the distance as husband Jay-Z, 46, took the photo of her and their daughter from behind.

Meanwhile, Chris recently explained that Coldplay's halftime show would represent the past, present and future.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of the game, he joked about how the band would fit their many hits into just 12 minutes.

'We decided we’d play all our No.1s and then work out how to fill the other 10 minutes,' said Martin.

The Coldplay frontman reiterated his love for Beyonce, explaining it was a nod to her past stellar performance at last year's Super Bowl.

'We love Beyonce’s music,' said Chris. 'She’s one of our all-time favorites and she’s one of the greatest performers I’ve ever witnessed.'
