I always think it’s funny when someone I “love to hate” shows up and I give them the benefit of the doubt or I flat-out like their look, and everyone yells at me for not hating it. That’s what happened with Jennifer Aniston – I genuinely liked her Versace, even though most people believed I should loathe it. And I’m sure it will happen again with Gwyneth Paltrow and her Oscar gown: she wore Ralph & Russo Couture with a big floral arrangement on one shoulder. You know what? I LIKE IT.
The dress reminds me of something although I haven’t been able to place the reference. (Oh, I just got it: Angelina Jolie did the shoulder-flower Ralph & Russo years ago.) I feel like Goop is referencing her own Oscar-winning moment with the color, right? Gwyneth famously wore that cotton-candy pink Ralph Lauren and I feel like this petal-pink shade is a throwback to that. One thing I’ll give the critics: her hair was not the best. But at least she didn’t do a flat-ironed center part, eh?
People were complaining about her jewelry too. PEASANTS!!! Gwyneth got paid to wear Anna Hu jewelry – the $425,000 earrings were cabochon Rubellites with white and yellow diamonds, plus sapphires and tourmalines. She also wore a ring made of “rare 6.27-carat pigeon-blood Burmese ruby, pink diamonds and brilliant-cut white diamonds, set in rose and white gold.”
And here’s Gwyneth’s BFF (in her mind) Beyonce, at the Vanity Fair party. Beyonce wore Stella McCartney (the dress) with a J. Mendel white fox bolero. I don’t hate the Stella dress, but I’m pretty sure Sam Taylor Johnson already wore it during the Fifty Shades promotional tour.
