Gwyneth Paltrow, flat-ironed in all-black: lovely, dated or peasanty?

wenn3500941

These are new photos of Gwyneth Paltrow, out and about in London last night for Fashion’s Night Out. She was at some Coach event at their new store, and Goop finally dropped the orange and went back to black. I actually like her outfit a lot – it’s flattering, chic and simple. The pants are especially nice. Here’s a question, though: Why does Goop insist on flat-ironing? I get that her style heyday was in the 1990s, the Era of the Flat-Iron, but surely she knows that by continuing to flat-iron her hair, she looks… dated?!? Goop? Never! But she does – imagine how much better she would look if her hair was fluffy and she let her natural waves fly?

In other Goop news, she’s just signed on for a new movie that will have her playing a sex addict. How gauche! The film is called Thanks for Sharing, and it will be directed by Stuart Blumberg, and costar Mark Ruffalo, Tim Robbins and Joely Richardson. I wonder if this is yet another supporting part that Gwyneth can film quickly so she can rush back to her children, her only “real achievement”.

Also – did you know that Gwyneth didn’t update her Goop newsletter for more than a month while she went on holiday? Being a professional snot is SO HARD. But Goop returned this week with Gwyneth’s “scrapbook from Venice”. Basically, she just took photos from her phone and wrote down everything she did for two days. It’s pretty much an advertisement for Contagion, which comes out this weekend (which I think will bomb at the box office – just my opinion). Here’s Goop’s intro:

Hello lovely readers! I’m just back from a delightfully laborious Labor Day weekend in Venice, Italy, where I was in attendance for the premiere of the excellent film, Contagion. It was just over 48 hours of jam-packed happenings and the food was sublime. Below is my little scrapbook.

Happy back to school. Not.

Love, GP

NOT. Gwyneth and Justin Timberlake are the same. They are both so, so dated. They both say “Not” like it’s still cool. Anyway, you can read this week’s Goop newsletter here, and I’ve included some of the photos below. NOT. No, I did.

    Lovely!!

  2. Thea says:

    What is with her media push here lately? I still cant stand her.

  3. Sara says:

    I think she looks beautiful! However, I preferred her hair when it was mid neck mob like at Iron Man premiers, it looked so much healthier.

  4. DavidBowie says:

    I love her blouse. I’m glad she didn’t wear orange. It made her look like a stretched out oompa loompa.

  5. hairball says:

    Why does she think anyone wants to even read what she says..?

  6. katy says:

    she looks great and i actually really like her in orange

  7. annaloo. says:

    Decline. Stuck. Trying entirely too hard. (“Not!”….really?)

    And why does she have that menu up like a fence on her table? Like her husband, does she not want to be pap’d with something she purportedly loves? She is bizarre.

  8. Yasmina says:

    HAHAHAHA!! Oh Kaiser, I just love your writing. This post really cracked me up. Your Goop posts are what got me to this site in the first place.

  9. Melissa says:

    She looks beautiful.

  10. silken_floss says:

    Is it wrong that I feel she and Matty would have made a cute couple? LOL

    I did use the “not” once here (on a thread about Vanessa Hudgens if I’m not wrong). Felt so bad later on — for using such a dated expression — that I almost slapped myself.

    Never again I’ll say that, I promise.

  12. velourazure says:

    the flat iron makes her naturally stringy hair look even more so. bad.

  13. Sue says:

    I don’t like the black London outfit especially the top she has no boobs so it looks baggy like it flapping in the wind.

  14. S says:

    I’m really looking forward to Contagion! I think it looks good and freaking scary because it could so easily happen. I just hope they don’t give us some silly ending.

  15. zephyr says:

    Don’t care for the black outfit, or that orange monstrosity. But the bright pink dress she wore to eat fritto misto is lovely and it suits her.

  16. lucy2 says:

    It’s alright, very simple, way better than the puffy orange thing.
    I can’t stand her, but I do give her credit for putting some no-makeup, rough looking photos on her blog.

  17. karena says:

    @silken_floss

    No please don’t wish this woman on him. I think he is darling and Goop is just so…cluelessly annoying. Plus, wasn’t there a blind item about him being married to his current girlfriend by the end of the year?

  18. spinner says:

    She looks beautiful.

  19. yeahyea says:

    I think she is lovely! And Kaiser she’s only filming Thanks for Sharing for two weeks, and her kids will be with her.

  20. anonymoose says:

    flat stringy hair is “in” according to this delusional style maven. well, who are we NOT to concur? HAAA!

    flat stringy hair also shows off her hideous dark roots, which are also NOT fabulous.

    cases in point that money and skinny are not an express pass into pretty and stylish. she’s not fooling us, just herself.

  21. blonde on the dock says:

    Gorgeous!

  22. Catherine says:

    She looks classic and I am envious of the super shiny hair.

  23. Victoria says:

    This is her choosing an outfit. Peasant; not for Fashion shows. No stylist here that’s for sure!

  24. original kate says:

    wearing a brown, cheap looking little purse with a black outfit? tragic. also, her posture is appalling.

  25. Denise says:

    Paltrowski should do us and herself a favor and dedicate all of her time the her most marvelous achievement, her children.

  26. april says:

    She looks great. Her hair looks good like that. It doesn’t look like she’s wearing much make up.

  27. Cleo says:

    Remember when Carolyn Bissette was flinging her blonde mermaid hair in all the photos making Germans all over the planet zombie blood red with envy?

    Yeah.

    (NOT!)

  29. Memphis says:

    If she didn’t act like such a superior, entitled elitist ass people wouldn’t hate on her so much, or maybe they would. I have no idea.

    But I do love that color of blond that I could never pull off.

  30. dani says:

    boring

  31. abby says:

    I can’t wait for that stupid movie to come out, so sick of seeing her face in that death scene!!

  32. Ally says:

    Love the photo of her & Matt Damon in Venice.

    It’s a Talented Mr. Ripley reunion! I loved them both so much in that.

  33. dj says:

    Wow. There is a Gwyneth post at leasts once a day! So tired of hearing about her. Did anyone else notice that her nice black outfit was the perfect background for a (most likely) Coach bag? It was a Coach event right?

  34. Lisa says:

    So for a very long time, I was not bothered by GP and her ridiculousness, and I have even subscribed to GOOP and enjoyed reading it, but this most recent issue was … really ridiculous.

  35. Blithe says:

    Her hair and skin look amazing in these photos.

  36. C.N. Tower says:

    Why can’t she just fade away for awhile? So embarrassing!

  37. kazoo says:

    it’s 1997 again! lol, she wishes.

  38. Ms.JAPrufrock says:

    She’s going to play a sex addict? Michael Fassbender just won best actor in Venice playing one in the film “Shame”. I doubt she’ll be as good or as fearless.

  39. Megan says:

    She’s just so boring.

  40. Eve says:

    @ Wunderkindt:

    LOL! No, seriously, I swear I’ll never say that again.

    I really don’t want to be like The Poop or Timberacts.
