Is Gwyneth Paltrow trying to fashion c-ckblock Scarlett Johansson?

fp_4900380_rij_iron_man2_042610

The Los Angeles premiere of Iron Man 2 was last night, and we have SO much to discuss. First of all: I know a lot of you are like “Kaiser you are so anti-woman because you are convinced that Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johansson hate each other, why can’t girls be friends?” Girls can be friends. I buy that there are smart, accomplished women in the Hollywood industry who are friends, who genuinely support each other, who like each other very much. Goopy and ScarJo are not those women. On ScarJo’s part, I really don’t think she cares one way or the other about Goopy. But I think Goopy f-cking hates ScarJo. They didn’t pose together at all on the red carpet last night, and once again, Gwyneth attached herself to Robert Downey Jr. and posed only with him, as if she was the second lead in the film. She’s not. Her name isn’t even on most posters.

Second thing: once again, ScarJo and Goopy were wearing the same color! For the photo call, it was shades of grey. Last night is was white. I think Goopy is trying to fashion c-schlock ScarJo. Like she’s telling ScarJo, “Let me show you how to do white, honey.” Except that I think Gwyneth looks like hell in this white shorts-and-jacket ensemble (so 2002), mixed with the chunky black shoes (so 1996). She looks like she’s trying too hard to impress someone, or to be high-fashion. Hate it. ScarJo, on the other had, looks slightly stumpy (as shorter, curvy girls do sometimes when they are styled incorrectly), but I ended up really liking ScarJo’s dress. She looks like she made an effort to look “pretty” for the premiere, while Goopy just looks like she’s trying.

Additionally – Mickey Rourke and his girl need to stop with the spray tans. They look like roasted carrots. And How cute is RDJ and his wife Susan? Aw!

    Um, why not Scarlett is trying to fashion c-cblock Gwyneth? I get that you don’t like her but come on! Also the suit with shorts is so NOW! Amanda Seyfried wore one the other day to her premiere.

  2. kai says:

    I like Gwyneth here better (the legs!). Scarlett looks like she doesn’t know what she’s doing. it isn’t just about looking ‘pretty’.
    and maybe they’re color-coordinating on purpose?

  3. Melanie says:

    Gwennie has great legs. Who knew? As far as ScarJo, meh. That dress cuts her in two.

  4. J says:

    Woman needs to accept her own age. Ms Paltrow was young (maybe a little beautiful) before, and now she is a mother of two in her thirties. Her face is simply NOT young.

    Miss Johansson may be a lousy actress but she is young. It shows in the photos. She looks as fresh as a morning flower. Very pretty.

    Ms Paltrow needs to accept the fact that her “Emma” era is finished and now it is time for other young girls to shine!

  5. Just a Poster says:

    ooh dueling fashion divas! This should be a fun press tour!

    For those playing the home game.. Goopy 1, Scarjo 1.. we have a tie ball game folks!

  6. gloaming says:

    If I had legs like Gwynnie’s I’d wear shorts too. Not loving the disco shine of it, but the outfit suits her.

    @J. What? A woman in her thirties is old?

  7. annaloo says:

    Scarlett– I TOLD you: get it together! We have to beat Gwyneth, and you are NOT doing it!!!

    I hate to give it to her, because I hate her, but Gwyneth won this round also.

    Scarlett! Don’t hide the girls! Use what you got! And stop standing so pigeon-toed!

  8. Dee Vine says:

    Actually Goopy IS looking fashion forward while ScarJo is the one who looks like she is trying too hard in that dress. Sorry but must say that Goopy is looking gorgeous.

  9. e says:

    I hate ScarJo’s dress. It is too much, especially for her figure and the glitter shoes are all wrong. Goopy looks more streamlined but I don’t really care for the cut of the shorts or the material. They both kind of got it wrong.

  10. Celebitchy says:

    Look at that last image of Gwyneth about orange Mickey Rourke and his girlfriend. She does have a gorgeous body, but she looks completely foolish in that outfit. Kaiser is right and she’s trying too hard. She’s wearing a sparkly tuxedo jacket with short shorts and chunky heels! Give me a break.

  11. Larissa says:

    don´t like goopy, but the one that looks likes is trying too hard is ScarJo

  12. Lisa Turtle says:

    Gwyneth is a bigger star than Scarlett, she’s won an Academy Award and has been an A List movie star for decades… She’s posing with RDJ because the movie’s PR people probably told her too. Furthermore, they are probably the architects of this alleged duel between Scarlett and Gwyneth. I would bet good money the studio’s PR told both women’s stylists to dress them in the same color.

    Personally I think Scarlett’s dress is beautiful, but I think Gwyneth looks better. I mean DAMN Look at her body! Goopy has never looked better.

  13. dread pirate cuervo says:

    Both outfits bring the fug, but ScarJo’s is way worse. & Gwynnie will fashion cockblock her everytime by virtue of the willowy model body she was born with. However, I think they might actually be friends. Hitting Payless for a BOGO sale is the only explanation for those hideous shoes they’re wearing.

  14. bros says:

    agreed-gwenyth still has more fashion chops in one finger than scarjo does on her whole body. scarlett is frequently styled terribly. she looks great here from the neck up, but the dress overwhelms her and she is too short. the only thing paltrow did wrong was wear those shoes. if she had worn something pointy and showed the top of her feet, her legs would have looked even longer and more amazing. those shoes cut her leg line off badly. thing amanda s from the other day and blake lively in the shorts and marchesa jacket from a while ago.

  15. Lee says:

    Paltrow looks like a totally crazy person and I would not be surprised to find out she is a total handfull.

  16. coconut says:

    i think gynnie’s shorts would be okay in a different color. my first thought when i see them is that they are an undergarment.

  17. Ursaline says:

    The little shorts suit is a little early for the season, but kind of cute, and she has the legs to pull it off. THe black shoes have got to GO, though. Why couldn’t she do strappy sandals or a nude heel? This just looks garish, especially with the shiny fabric. It would have been better in a matte texture, or more like a crepe.

    Kaiser and Celebitchy, I’m on your side on this one.

    And RDJ is just so delectable! 😀

  18. Jazz says:

    I’m just here for the RDJ love!

    Also, not liking Gwynnie’s shoes.

  19. lilred says:

    Goopy better watch it RDJ’s wife could totally take her…and might if she doesn’t quit rubbing up on her man.L0l.

  20. Bellatrix says:

    And I agree with Kaiser on this one: Scarlett wins this round.

    The disco vibe of Paltrow’s outfit ruins everything. She should have gone for a white short & suit ensemble with a navy vibe or clean fabrics. Maybe even silk chiffon stretched over cotton. Not glittery-doo.

  21. bite me says:

    damn, Goopy looks better so now Goopy 2 ScarJo 0

  22. nycmom10024 says:

    Gwyneth looks great. Scatlett is a beautiful woman, but I don’t like the dress at all.

    Mickey R is way more scary than the Pam Grier story. Sorry I find him utterly replusive. Maybe I seen one to many V commercials but I could totally believe rourke was a lizard under that horrible skin.

  23. PXA says:

    I think they are both vacant vesselswith bitchy tendencies.

  24. cara says:

    goopy looks great..untill you get to the shoes.she has really poor choice in shoes man.
    scarjo’s dress looks stupid.
    GOOPY LOOSE THE SHOES!

  25. Malorie says:

    I bet this:

    http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2010/04/27/mickey_rourke_slams_unnamed_actress_wh

    Was about ScarJo, hohoho!!!

    @bite me, agree with you, Gwyneth 2 – ScarJo 0

  26. Brooke says:

    I agree that this “style conflict” is manufactured – G couldn’t care less about Scarlett and vice versa. G is on for the promos because she always prints; it’s a benefit of being a permanent A-lister.

    I mean – they’re both wearing Armani. I think they are being dressed similarly enough to highlight the contrast in their perceived personalities – dressing G in late trends and Scarlett in sweeter, more youthful silhouettes. And just so you know, G is wearing those shoes because she doesn’t care how long her legs look – even at their shortest they’re twice as long as Scarlett’s.

  27. lucy2 says:

    I kind of like Scarlett’s, and I’m not usually a fan of the big sculpted dresses. Gwenyth’s would be better without the shine and those awful shoes.

  28. Luci says:

    love scalett’s dress
    love love love
    she’s upgraded her style (or stylist) a LOT lately

  29. Lil says:

    RDJ always handsome! Love him!

  30. Maritimer says:

    Team Paltrow on this one. She looks hot. Not a fan of the shoes, but they seem to be the ‘in’ thing now….plus her purse matches.

    As for Scarlett – dress does nothing for her. She has a beautfiful body, but the cut makes her legs look chunky. The dress itself looks like an icecream cone from Dairy Queen. Props for the good make-up though.

    And, although Mickey Rourke’s side kick (err, fiance?) looks like she showered in spray tan yesterday morning, she does have beautful eyes.

  31. endoplasmic ridiculum says:

    Not a Goopie fan by any stretch – but she does NOT look “Bad”..

    Also @J.. the whole “old” versus “fresh” thing is kind of medieval.. no wonder women develop complexes with comments like that floating around.

  32. Mia says:

    I’m with CB & Kaiser. Scarjo won this round.

    I loved Gwynnie’s gray dress, but the short set & the limpy hair date her. Don’t get me started on those shoes.

  33. neelyo says:

    Johannson’s dress is giving me flashbacks to JLo’s oscar disaster but at least her feet don’t look like hooves, Gwyneth.

    I’ve never liked the over-rated Paltrow. I wish she’d retire like she keeps saying she would.

    Oh but let’s face it, the real winner is the Fashion Maven in the background of the first photo.

  34. ligeia says:

    sorry, but goopy definitely wins this fashion face off. her legs look amazing in these shorts and she looks well put together while scarjo delivers yet another blah outfit. she needs to take a page out of dita von teese’s book or something, they have similar body types. that weird scrunched napkin looking thing she is wearing in the photos does nothing for her figure.

  35. annaloo says:

    HAHAHA!

    @ Neelyo– YES, the Fashion Maven in the glitter red and gold: she is the REAL star on that carpet. I’d love to know what she was thinking at the time, the look on her face is priceless!

  36. Novaraen says:

    Meh…they both are just meh.

    Hate Gwyneth’s shoes…she usually kills it with the shoes. Not this time.

  37. Huma says:

    Gwyneth looks horrible. Ugh. Scarlett doesn’t look great-great, but whoever said she looks fresh and young like a morning flower hit it on the head. She’s a little flower. Not a great fashion moment or anything, but she looks dewy and fresh and cute. And a little stumpy but whatever.

  38. Bodhi says:

    i don’t like either outfit. I think G’s shorts don’t fit properly & the shoes? Are you kidding me? SJ’s dress “could” be cute, but I’m not a fan of sculptured clothes

  39. Maritimer says:

    lol Neeylo – I didn’t even notice the 6 pack in the back. WTF?
    If you look closely, though, there is someone in the same outfit standing right next to her (she is a blond, you see her better in the pic with RDJ and his wife)…maybe part of the event?
    Nonetheless, horrendous.

  40. kelbear says:

    I’m not usually a fan of Gwyneth but I do have to say I think she looks great here. Just don’t like the shoes.

  41. LisaMarie says:

    Forget ScarJo and Gwynnie – check out the awesome superhero girl standing in the background! lol

  42. Carrie says:

    I got to say, I think a lot of things in RJD’s life came together when he met and married Susan- she seems like a stabilizing force in his life…

    I do wonder sometimes if she executive produces most of his films because she’s really good at the work (as I’m sure she is) or because she’s really good at managing him.

  43. I Choose Me says:

    @LisaMarie. Ha, I was thinking the exact same thing. Anybody know the story there?

    Gwyneth does have great gams though. She and Cameron have the best legs in the biz imho.

  44. original kate says:

    i think RDJ’s wife looks better than either scarjo or goop. scarjo’s dress is pretty but it’s way too much on her -she is very small. goop looks like she’s dressing too young for her age. actually i think they should have switched outfits.

  45. Jackson says:

    I give both of their outfits a ‘thumbs down.’ Actually, if I had to pick one over the other, it’d be Gwyneth Paltrow’s. SJ seems too fancy, too done up, which to me translates as trying too hard. Those shoes with Gwyneth’s outfit though…ugh. No no no. I don’t care how tall or slim you are, these shoes just don’t look right and just don’t work. With jeans, they’re fine. Shorts or skirts or dresses? No way.

  46. Anti-icon says:

    Goop thinks of herself as the style guru, but it’s always FAIL. She really doesn’t have an eye for it at all. She’s always trying too hard, and her style never matches what she is trying to project…ala her Goop newsletter. She is FAIL all around. Go be a full time mom, and stop assaulting the public with your “talent.”

    Scarjo looks beautiful, as usual.

  47. TaylorB says:

    Goops shoes just make me want to stomp my feet and pitch a proper fit. I hate, hate, hate those fugly a$$ shoe/boot/sandles that she is sporting. They look stupid with any outfit.

    Other than the shoes GoopyPoo looks pretty nice, though it is kinda the kind of outfit one sees in a Branson, MO stage show.

  48. Ellen Smith says:

    Gwyneth has great legs? Am I missing something here? She is boney and knock-kneed.

  49. Call me Al says:

    Of course Gwynn is trying to out-fashion Scar. She is threatened by her. They’re both assholes who truly think they are on a different (higher) level than others because of their beauty, which will fade.

  50. hoodiegirl says:

    Scarlett looks better. Gwyneth looks nice but the shoes won it for me. I love Scarlett’s shoes.

  51. dj says:

    Kaiser is so correct — Gwynnie is totally c–kblocking SJ. I agree with another poster GP cannot win here SJ needs to pull out her ASSETS and draw attention to her in a classic silhouette in a dramatic color (i.e., red with cleavage) and no one, I mean , no one will see GP on the carpet or publicity interviews again! Work in ScarJo–learn it.

  52. Ana says:

    I like Goopy’s legs. That is the only thing that redeems that outfit.

    I think Scarlett won. Except for that visible zipper. That bothers me.

  53. Mrs.Darcy says:

    I think the shiny shorts make Gwyneth look try hard but marginally better than ScarJo. She still looks overall elegant, Scarlett looks lost in that dress. She needs to sack her stylist, pronto. I think she is trying to be fashiony on a Gwyneth level, downplaying her lady lumps and her pouty lips, two things that Gwyneth lacks, is a big mistake. Agree with dj, girl needs to get those puppies out and slick on some red lippy, obvious yes but with her subtle hair colour at the moment (hated her bleached blonde) I think she would blast Gwyneth off the red carpet no problemo.

  54. mariex says:

    The cut of those shorts is really distracting. Almost like bicycle shorts?
    Should also take out the shoulder pads and switch the shoes while shes at it. At least she is trying new things on the red carpet.

    Scarlett looks like she pancacked that makeup on and I keep seeing Joan Collins from the neck down.

  55. Sally says:

    Ugh, those shoes.. still, I agree with Gwyn 2, ScarJo 0.

  56. Zelda says:

    Those shorts do not fit.

    Now am I the ONLY one who has a hunch that Scarlet Jo is really an unsufferable b*tch? I justget that from her.

  57. Jazz says:

    @Zelda, you’re not the only one! I get that vibe too!

  58. LUCI LIU says:

    SCARLETT WILL ALWAYS LOOK BETTER THAN GWYNETH. SCARLETT’S GOT SEX APPEAL. GWYNETH DOESN’T. YOU CAN’T “GET IT”, YOU HAVE TO BE BORN WITH IT. END OF SUBJECT.

  59. Nancy Stephens says:

    I think Gwenyht looks beautiful- she has GREAT legs and a tall slim body- I don’t check out women in catsuits b/c I’m staright as an arrow,but if I’m going to pay 10 bucks for a movie ticket and I HAVE to see a woman in a catsuit,at least give me someone tall and slender like Gwenyth and NOT sone short stubby frumpy thing like Scarlett!Sorry this round goes to Gwenyth- BRW 30s is NOT old!!!
