Gwyneth Paltrow in Lanvin at ‘Mortdecai’ premiere: unflattering or lovely?

wenn22095591

The big premiere of Mortdecai was held last night in LA. Scarfy Depp was there (Bedhead will have those photos later), and so were the rest of the cast. What kills me a little is that this film actually did assemble a decent cast: Scarfy, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor, Paul Bettany, Jeff Goldblum, Olivia Munn and more. Too bad the whole thing looks like a really cheap and poorly acted Peter Sellers rip-off. Anyway, let’s talk fashion.

Gwyneth Paltrow wore this blue-green Lanvin Spring 2015 gown. It feels like she sort of phoned it in, right? Like, she didn’t even bother to get these gown properly tailored, that’s how little she cared. This could have pretty if it was a beautifully tailored column, but Lanvin tried to be fancy with that cummerbund thing, which goes underneath the dress in the back. From the front, this Lanvin makes Gwyneth look wide (and she’s not wide at all) and from the back, this is just… not good. I even think her earrings suck. Damn, Goop! You could do better than this.

Many of Goop’s girlfriends came out to support her, including Tracy Anderson. I dislike this outfit, but I think we should just be happy that Tracy isn’t dressed up as an overgrown cheerleader.

And here’s Olivia Munn in Ralph Rucci. Eh. Basic dress is basic. It’s got a nice fit and it looks nice on her, that’s all I’ve got.

Would you likes some Jeff Goldblum? His wife/baby-mama can’t dress for sh-t. But Jeff found Paul Bettany and they embraced like lovers on the carpet, and all was good.

    Hahahaha oh man thanks for the morning laugh. I hate all of it.

    Unflattering dress and too big in more

    • annaloo. says:

      Totally too big. that look ages Gwyneth badly. She needs to change her hair too. She looks like a reptile.

      And is she allergic to bras? Lady, you ain’t 23 anymore!

      I wish Olivia would have done something with her hair instead of letting it just hang there. She and Goop should have traded hairstyles/texture.

      Tracey Anderson: no comment. Never any comment on that one.

      • Pandy says:

        Agree with all but I liked Olivia’s hair. Thought it was soft and pretty instead of her usual center part/stick straight. That is one fugly dress and earring combo. But then again, I have peasant taste.

  3. spaniard says:

    Not her best look, I think it is unflattering and does no favours to her figure (which is great IMO). The colour looks good on her though, anyway even if she had showed up in a great dress would have been bad-mouthed here up and down so let’s get the party started…

  4. Jayna says:

    Olivia has really been knocking it out of the park this year. I never realized she was so beautiful until I saw her on Watch What Happens Live.

    Gwynneth’s dress needs to be fitted better. It doesn’t give her enough of a defined waist.

    • Francesca says:

      You never realized it before because she never looked like this before. Her face is sooo different now.

    • Jog says:

      For some reason she always looks harsh and angry to me. I don’t think she’s had that much work done, but I don’t like her aggressive vibes (maybe imaginary on my part). Plus she seems ethically challenged when it comes to ways to score headlines. You get the feeling she’ll do anything to keep people talking about her. Her dress sense is usually dreadful, as the above example illustrates. 10% of the time she’ll blow you away, though. She had the potential to be really beautiful but there’s just something about her attitude…

      Goop’s dress would have been nice a few sizes smaller. It should have been fitted. The colour’s unusual and lovely.

      • Maggi says:

        Olivia—It’s because the Botox drags her inner brows down, like Jack Nicholson brows. That’s why she gives the angry vibes. I think she can look great but that’s not happening here.

  5. Senaber says:

    I have never seen such a messy, unpolished group of movie stars on a red carpet. The whole thing looks so budget! Olivia, you need a brush, girl. And wtf is jeffs wife wearing??? That is the WORST.

    • Belle Epoch says:

      Is Jeff’s wife making a Statement? Maybe she’s there under duress? No makeup, no hairstyle, no high heels, no long dress, no color… Most women married to a movie star would take it up a notch for an occasion like this. The dress looks like old linens from my granny’s house. The shoes are just unaccountable. Even a rubber band in her hair would show a little effort.

      • Kiddo says:

        I think that is kind of her thing, based on past photos. She is au natural.

      • Senaber says:

        @Kiddo then she is giving au natural a bad name, isn’t she? It’s possible to be a pretty hippie. Even just change the shoes, you know? Clark’s makes beige shoes, I’m pretty sure…

    • Precious says:

      And all of them (celebs) looking disconnected from one another, Johnny Depp is now starting to reach Nicholas Cage levels. Between this and Transcendence he’s going to have two bigger critical and probably commercial duds back to back.

  6. LAK says:

    I like Jeff Goldblum’s wife’s outfit. Dress and shoes. If she’d brushed her hair, she might have pulled it off.

    • Astrid says:

      The baby mama’s dress looks like something a recently pregnant woman would wear while nursing a baby. The front flap lifts up for discreet feeding.

    • Mrs. Darcy says:

      She has naturally wavy/curly hair from the looks of it, so if she’d “brushed” it it would have been a frizzy mess. I guess you think it would be more acceptable straightened? I agree it’s not styled particularly flatteringly but not everyone is willing to strip away their hair’s real texture a la Nicole Kidman, Julianna Margulies, Keri Russell, etc. Curls are not a sin, Hollywood.

  7. lucy2 says:

    The color is pretty, but what an awful design. So unflattering and odd.
    Goop, Tracy, and Olivia – 3 people who for some reason irritate me.

  8. Evyn says:

    Hate the dress, but I looove the color!

  9. Tig says:

    i like the color of the Lanvin gown, but that is one weird camera angle(I hope!) that has the bodice looking so odd.

    • Cecada says:

      You may be right. It may be better in person, not so much on film. Let’s hope so, because from this angle it looks like she pulled a Scarlet O’Hara and made a dress out of her curtains or sofa or something

    • someonestolemyname says:

      There are some good angles of the dress in some of the press on other news sites, it looks great imo.

  10. Sara says:

    Gwyneth and Olivia look lovely and beautiful.

    • someonestolemyname says:

      I think GPaltrow looks beautiful also.

      • dorothy says:

        She isn’t all. Major work done, time all spent on looks and huge glam squad. She pulls off looking good on camera for events but it is all smoke and mirrors. I have seen her many times and interact with so many people on a daily basis. She is average. I would never say that but her whole joy in life is from making other women miserable and making them feel badly about others. Most of you here look as good as she does or if not, would, would all the help she has. Seen many many far prettier celebs also that are very very sweet and supportive of other woman and no where near so arrogant and phony. So glad Chris finally left her as he has been trying to for years. Wish him the best he deserves it. She deserves nothing but a reality check and that will never happen with her no matter what she pretends. Hope you are all well and New Year off to good start.

  11. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Ugh.

  12. Kiddo says:

    Jeff Goldblum is the only interesting person on this page, but then he should have gone to the tall shop; it looks like his sleeves aren’t long enough for his arms.

  13. StormsMama says:

    If Gs dress were properly tailored…
    Bc the color is gorgeous and I like the back.

    Olivia is gorgeous but her hair looks cray.

    Love Jeff G. Damn he looks good. Love his shoes. His lady’s dress is fine but she needs better shoes and – as someone pointed out above – a brush.

  14. Gracie says:

    The placement of the belt… strange .

  15. MJ says:

    That color is great on Gwyneth, but the fabric and fit are terrible.

  16. doofus says:

    She’s doing “the LEG!” Stone her!

    I love the pic of Bettany and Goldblum.

  17. MrsBPitt says:

    I have been waiting for reviews for this movie, and because there haven’t been any, I figured it was going to be BAD! Well, finally, rottentomatoes has some reviews…so far Mortdecai has a 0% ROTTEN…so I don’t blame everyone for phoning it in….This movie is a bomb…I read on one website that Jennifer Lopez’s horrible, The Boy Next Door” movie is expected to make more money opening weekend than this movie! I just hate that everyone is comparing it to The Pink Panther movies. Those movies were so funny (not the stupid Steve Martin remakes). Peter Sellers had me in stitches in the original movies!

  18. Alex says:

    Lots of new filler in the face

  19. Birdie says:

    Olivia Munn is dating my husband Aaron Rodgers, so… I might me biased if I say: she looks trashy.

  20. PunkyMomma says:

    I like Olivia’s dress. Goop really shouldn’t be braless at this stage of her life (see Anniston thread a few days ago).

    Jeff Goldblum is such a creeper.

  21. scout says:

    I love the blue shade but too much going on in the back for Goop. Nah at Tracy Anderson, weird looking woman that one.
    Jeff’s young wife? She looks older than him!

    • booboobird says:

      Yes, i also like the blue colour on GP. Don’t like that i can sed her bra line. It’s like Martha Stewart with her sparkle capri pants where you could see her recently removed sock lines on her legs.
      and totally agree about Goldblums wife. Their age gap is 30. She looks older than 32. Ok, pregnancy is not kind to everybody but she looks really rough and looking like liverwurst does not improve the matters. Put on some colour,lady!

  22. Charlotte says:

    That Goldblum baby is going to be one lanky baby. If it’s a girl, it’ll have a modelling contract before it passes the meconium.

  23. Luca76 says:

    Why would Paul Bettany subject himself to another Johnny Depp movie after The Tourist?????

    • kai says:

      Money, I would think. Maybe this way Jennifer Connelly doesn’t have to work so much and can do the good films and they can still keep up their lifestyle. Bettany also directs now.

  24. Frosty says:

    Mother of god that gown is an ill-fitting mess. And not her shade of green either. Oh Goop.

  25. Ginger says:

    I like the color of Goop’s dress but that’s it. Jeff’s baby mama is in a shapeless sack dress with ugly shoes. She’s on a red carpet for goodness sake! Time to break out the good dress, high heels and have someone do your hair and makeup for you. Olivia is a beautiful woman but I hate that dress. If it had been a bright color I would have liked it better. That hug photo is bizarre. I can’t look away!

  26. mkyarwood says:

    Gwynnie has been taking a fashion dive. That blush naked mole rat suit was the worst. Paul Bettany + Jeff Goldblum = my ultimate shame threesome.

  27. mazzie says:

    Love the colour, but the gown makes her look wide. It doesn’t really fit in the torso and the drape, especially across her bustline doesn’t help. Girl, tit tape and a stick-on bra. You can afford.

  28. QQ says:

    The front Is Mother of the Bride, Hates the Groom decides to Sabotage the wedding by wearing NO BRA

    The Back Is: Remember how PRESSED Toni Braxton was after JLo Versace dress , like the next award Show ( the AMAs or some such she wore THEEE most Unflattering ass Pudenda strips covers of all Times?? That was that dress

    Tracy Anderson Looks like those Modesty dress people… if their daugther had gotten invited to a Bat Mitzvah in the late 90s

    • JenniferJustice says:

      *snort* especially re mother of the bride sabotaging by wearing no bra. Reminds me that along with saggage we know she has hippy-long pubes that float like seaweed. Why did they have to tell us that?!

      • booboobird says:

        But imagine how comfortably soft her lap is. I’d sit there in a heartbeat.
        Will never be able to erase the image of floaty seaweed pubes. Haha

      • JenniferJustice says:

        If you’re going to sit on her lap, you better hope she’s wearing clothes otherwise you’re going to be picking hairs out of your mouth and they won’t be blonde.

        P.S. The Superficial has an article on Gwynny and her less than perky side boob. I now dub her…wait for it…Droopy Goopy!

    • Alarmjaguar says:

      Never leave, QQ!

  29. Mar says:

    Awful Gwyneth.

  30. maeliz says:

    I love the color of the dress, but the fit is too baggy. Goopdroop. My flannel pj’s fit nicer

  31. vava says:

    Gwyneth is a mess, as usual. She needs to stop with the braless looks, her boobs are saggy and desperately need support. At the Golden Globes, that dress didn’t do her any favors either – in the bodice and abdominal areas. This dress does make her look ‘thick’.

    • JenniferJustice says:

      Being slim does not necessary equal small-waiste. She’s an ironing board with a burgeoning pouch belly. Can’t stand her so I don’t feel bad ripping on her.

      • lrm says:

        Yes, I noticed her burgeoning pouch belly in those mexico pics recently. I wondered if it was coke bloat or maybe she just ate a burrito for real. But while her tall, slim figure works well for some high fashion, it just isn’t as ‘bikini hot’ as she thinks it is, IMO. Just b/c she is slim, doesn’t mean she can and should wear anything. Also, the woman in the mexico pap pics with her-must be a friend?-looks awful-anorexic typical LA look. uugh. I live in so cal and so tired of that unhealthy look with straw hair.

  32. Diana B says:

    I love Paul Bettany! that’s all I got.

  33. GoOnGirl! says:

    Can someone please give her a comb? Why does her hair always look so bad?

  34. littlestar says:

    I actually like the dress, the colour is beautiful, but yes it does need to be tailored more. Or maybe that’s the look of the dress? A bigger flowy fit? I think she looks good here.

  35. Veronica says:

    This is the best she’s looked to me in a long time, actually. Whatever MUA has been doing her makeup recently has done it way too harsh or completely washed her out.

  36. lrm says:

    I have an irrational hatred/loathing for tracy anderson. Seriously, I don’t hate the kardashians; I am indifferent and just ignore them b/c…kardashian. I should feel the same about anderson,b ut instead i just think she is so disgusting. When she gives interviews, she says the most idiotic things, she’s delusional and has dangerous ‘fitness advice’. uugh. She creeps me out, as well.
    GOOP: the color looks great on her, the style-not so much.
    Too bad this isn’t going to be a better movie-great cast! Paul Bettany is looking a little greasy and creepy in pics lately, though. Don’t remember that before…???

  37. Penny says:

    Those earrings do NOT suck. Those earrings are delicious and divine and different and I will fight to the death for their honor! (ok, not really; I just like them and think they complement the dress color perfectly as well as GP’s coloring). They are David Webb realness IMO!

  38. Camille (The Original) says:

    Awful.

  39. Cindy says:

    I love gwyneth’s dress, particularly the back. Even the slight boxiness of it somehow makes her look lean and her legs look a mile long. I am no gwyneth fan, but I wish I was aging this well. 🙁

    Tracy Anderson’s smile scares me.

  40. Jessica says:

    Munn looking so try hard again. I expect nothing less. But it does make me so freakin glad that she doesn’t get to be the Queen of the Superbowl like she was counting on, and this film, which looks like a mess, will most likely bomb. All in a week’s time! I’m sorry, but this chick and her smug phoniness irritate me like no other, so it’s kind of hard to resist doing a happy dance.

  41. carol says:

    I love the dress and the color is terrific. But I think anything on Goopy looks ill-tailored. Don’t blame the dress, its the person wearing it! BTW – I think her makeup and accessories were spot on.

    • dorothy says:

      Spot on! Her body in spite of massive and repeated surgeries is horrid in real life. I am the same height and very slim with more than one imperfection 🙂 couple years older, and I still look better than her which is not saying much! So again, ladies don’t feel badly about yours! Am sure lots of you look far better too! All the magic of Hollywood, and her obsession with her appearance s that makes her look good on occasion. It’s almost impossible to look as bad as she does at that height and weight, yet she does in spite of it all. And The Tracy Anderson method makes her already odd figure worse IMO. Some of Tracy’s moves are effective yes, but if you do entire routine and follow all her over the top rules, there is a good chance you will end up looking strangely shaped. Sure may work for few, but not in same league as Pilates and others. Most celebs and couple of my friends that do her method with good results, only do some of it ,and do other exercises (that Tracy forbids) as well. Also is based on body shaming, unrealistic preoccupation and time for most non-celebs, which I loathe. (And Tracy has a very shady history with the law and quite a record, is not the nicest of folks, but even she is actually far more pleasant to others and sincere than Gwyneth!)

  42. winnie says:

    colour and dress are great. fit is poor. maybe her stylist only got it the night before?

    but i really like Gwyneth’s face… she has expression lines! And they look great. She looks like a stunning 40 yr old woman. Don’t get me wrong…. I’m sure she has had work done, but it is good work… she looks her age and has expression. She is outclassing most of 40 yr old Hollywood imo.

    Overall – v good

  43. Danskins says:

    I love the gorgeous shade of the Lanvin as well as Goop’s leg of doom but otherwise that dress does her no favors.

  44. Ankhel says:

    The earrings are not bad, they just don’t belong with a gown this formal. And the dress is actually quite pretty, especially the colour. The fit is bad though. Sloppy, sloppy. Still, nobody seems to bother much with their looks for this movie. I do get that…

  45. boredblond says:

    Shrug..she should pay a little more attention to what goes under..there are backless bras to push up those saggy little boobs..would improve the look..there’s a time to go without and a time for underwires..

  46. sapphire says:

    Dress-great color and lousy fit. Couldn’t she take the time for alteration? And the hair-just awful! Roots, fried from being straightened. Goopy needs a hair intervention-stat.

  47. Pumpkin Pie says:

    For once I like her make-up.
