These pictures make me so happy. Though I loathe the Goop, even I have to admit that Gwyneth Paltrow’s fashion sense is usually pretty amazing (with some notable exceptions). But, oh, how the mighty have fallen! You know what’s worse? Gwyneth actually wore these light-wash, clam-digging monstrosities to her “good friend” Stella McCartney’s fashion show in Paris. Did Stella design this sh-t? Or did Gwyneth just pair a Stella jacket with her K-Mart mom jeans? I seriously think I had those jeans when I was a kid. And yes, they were from K-Mart.
I would like the jacket, but those shoulder pads look massive. I realize that’s the trend this season, but fashionistas don’t have to be such lemmings. The power-shoulder doesn’t look good on most women, and Gwyneth is most women. I suppose I should say something nice… I could say something about Gwyneth’s hair, but she needs to get her roots done. Her hair’s a good length, though. It looks like she’s growing it out. I like her better with long(er) hair. Sigh… I just can’t get past the mom jeans.
Listen to how A-list Stella’s fashion was – Stella’s dad Sir Paul McCartney, his girlfriend Nancy Shevell, Princess Caroline of Monaco and daughter Charlotte Casiraghi, Rihanna, Yasmin Le Bon and actress Charlotte Rampling, as well as Roman Abramovich’s pregnant girlfriend Daria Zhukova were all in attendance. Compare this to the Ungaro show, where the biggest “get” was Lindsay Lohan and her crack pipe. Too bad Gwyneth didn’t show up at Ungaro – she actually would have looked great compared to that crap.

Jeans from K-Mart = )
I’m stuck in the past, and like them = )

I missed the roots.

Paul McCartney’s new girlfriend is not pretty and she looks like his daughter Mary. I always think its really creepy when dad’s date women who look like their daughter/ daughters date men who look like their dads.

Wow are those jeans unflattering! Other photos I saw it also looked like the t-shirt was tucked too tightly into the jeans.

I’m actually not too bothered by this outfit, and I don’t know why. I even kind of like it, though I loathe her.

these are not “mom jeans”.. please. Mom jeans are high waisted, tapered, light wash, never skinny. In any case, she looks great in them. I don’t get the Gwyneth hatred anyway.. is it all because she’s not fat, short and stocky or not pretending to be next door, unlike some “friendly” stars with great hair?
). Or maybe because she doesn’t give a damn what women with inferiority complex think of her.. that’s why I like her, btw

I like Paul McCartney’s girlfriend. She has her own money, and she’s a grown-up.

I love a good white v-neck t-shirt and jeans myself, but I’m not a fan of the stretchy or highwater slacks. To me, it only looks right with lowcut bootleg jeans.
I’ve been in the UK all week and was not thrilled by the return of 80s-style short, baggy pirate boots with tights or painted on jeans. All they need now is a head band to look like Olivia Newton John or Darryl Hannah in ‘Splash’. I saw way too much V.P.L. and bumps and bulges that should have been under wraps, and a few too many little girls dressed like they sing backup for Rick James (rip).
Also am a fan of Nancy Shevell. She looks great and doesn’t have to be an attention whore to feel secure.

I think they’re cute!

Agreeing with minx here, those are not mom jeans. Mom jeans are higher waisted with pleats and are much baggier.
These jeans however would have looked right in place at a Winger concert back in 1987.

She doesn’t look great but she doesn’t look awful. If it were someone else and not Gwyneth Paltrow looking like that I doubt most people would think anything about it.

This is not a good look for her – it makes her look ‘hippy’.

Oooooooooh! Bringing back the 80s all by herself! All Gwynnie needs is big hair and doorknocker earrings, and VOILA!

Like a few other posters have said, these are NOT Mom Jeans, light wash, yes, but not the classic Mom Jeans.

Right Minx, I have an inferiority complex, THAT’S why I find her out of touch know it all smarmy bs to be pretentious and intolerable. Its because deep down inside I think I’m a piece of shit.
Way to grasp at straws to find a way to justify the sh!tty behavior you wish YOU could pull off. Good lord I hate snob apologists.

I agree with others, those are certainly not mom-jeans. Mom-jeans are high waisted, sometimes with an elastic waist as well, loose through the thigh, tapered at the ankle and pleated over the (and forgive me for even typing this) FUPA.

Those aren’t mom jeans. Those are cute. If Kate Moss wore those nobody would even notice. I hate the stupid blazer though. Yuck.

Am also in the “these aren’t MOM jeans camp”. This is my uniform, though without the 80′s shoulder pads.
It occurred to me that the reason she bugs me, and probably others too, is that she comes across as the snooty teacher’s pet that we all knew in high school.

Yeah, Goop wears some amazing outfits sometimes…. but she also has a personal stylist to find this all for her.
Stylist must have been off on jeans day.

well,maybe GOOP didn’t want to upstage her friend’s fashion…by being less than fashionable herself…you know,frumpy means noone will be taking pics of her.
yea,looks like the 80′s are back-er,or some are trying to make it so!!!!
Just say NO!

I’d bet that the entire outfit is Stella McCartney. They are good friends and she would not wear someone elses clothes to Stella’s show.

Those are cute!!! As a tall person I would love to find a pair of skinny capri jeans like that. I think they look great. I’m pretty sure for something to qualify as “mom jeans” they need to be minimum right under the navel.

F*ck all those other people there. Isn’t that the best woman in Rock EVER Chrissie Hynde sitting behind Paul. That’s who you should be talking about.

She just looks blah. I feel misled by the promise of mom jeans.

That jacket looks poorly made. The shoulders are tight and stiff and the fabric in the sleeves pulls in a funny way. I don’t like the outfit at all.

her outfit is bland. just like her.

I agree that these are not Mom Jeans. The outfit, however seems far too casual compared to what others are wearing in the photos. It also just doesn’t seem very flattering on her.

Oh I’m disappointed! Those aren’t “mom-jeans.” THey aren’t high waisted! Boooo! I was hoping for a fashion fiasco. Oh well, CB, keep looking. I know she’ll blow it soon. I look forward to the pics.

Huh? Those aren’t “mom jeans” at all! They’re sexy as hell! (Although I’m not crazy about the color)… There aren’t any mom’s in my neighborhood that look like that!! Gwyneth is still on fire : )

She is such an arrogant b8ch. She wears inappropriate clothing to places because she is SO COOL. She wears t-shirts as dresses to places that are not appropriate. Now, she goes to her friend’s fashion show in Paris and is just TOO COOL to show some respect. I KNOW that she feels above everyone and that she’s too cool to get dressed up. She makes me want to puke…aaauuuuuggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
