This was my thought process as I began to look through these photos of Gwyneth Paltrow at last night’s LA premiere of Iron Man 3… “… Black & white…? OK, Goop. Colors are for peasants… Oh, her dress is full-length. I guess she wanted everyone to know she’s THE STAR by wearing a proper gown… Yay, sleeves!….this isn’t so ba-OMG GOOP BUTT.”
Right? It sort of hits you all of a sudden that Gwyneth is literally showing us her Goop Butt. The dress is Antonio Berardi Fall 2013. I’m guessing the designer would have lined the thing, but Gwyneth was all “I’ll wear this straight off the runway and show everyone my Goop Butt and Goop Biscuit.” I hope the dress has some built-in panties (??) because if it doesn’t, Gwyneth was flashing her bits and pieces all night.
So, overall, what do you think of the dress? Even though I’m looking at Goop Butt, I kind of don’t hate it. This is one of Gwyneth’s strengths as a celebrity: she dares to wear interesting clothes and she’s not afraid of wearing controversial gowns. Sometimes it works out for her, sometimes it doesn’t, but I like her style boldness. My biggest problem with this whole ensemble isn’t the Goop Butt, it’s the terrible shoes!!! Those things look cheap and stripper-tastic. And of course, I’m sick of her flat-ironing and center-part. This whole look feels very ‘90s, right?
PS… Two different earrings!

Tacky.
Extremely tacky. And the 2 different earrings – I think we did that in the late 80’s/early 90’s, where that trend should stay.
The earrings aren’t a trend – they’re one of the designers. Dior?
Does anyone want to look like (or be) this woman?
Tack-EEEEEEEEEEEE.
I watched the red carpet arrivals for the premiere of IM3 on line and the dress didn’t look bad from a distance. Now that I can really see it; it is horrendous. Just because she was told she has the ass of a stripper doesn’t mean she has to dress like one. And don’t get me started on that hair; Gwyn you are one hot mess.
It’s like she’s channeling Rihanna but Riri could get away with it.
And she is simply too old for these gimmicks. Sorry Goop.
She might as well be wearing a blinking neon sign saying ‘trying too hard to be relevant’. She has an Oscar, is she really that insecure that she has to behave like a Kartrashian level famewhore?
Yup. TACKY. What IS this?!
Princess Leia meets Vivid Entertainment? GAH!
As long as she doesn’t flash her wookie…
Tacky, tacky, tacky type tacky. Tacky to the nth degree. Tacky times infinity plus one. Uber tacky ( in other words, I concur).
Hooker wear. But goop doesn’t have a hooker body. Yuck!
word. totally trashy. her body is amazing, though.
It’s pretty frightening and I could totally see someone busting this out at Cannes. Shameless vanity move. You know we’re going to get a Goop promo for free-range designer hams after this.
Its so ugly. Maybe if the side panels weren’t see-through it could look better, but they weren’t.
Yeah, the dress would still be ugly no matter what alterations could be made… it’s the clashing materials. Just no. But she looks so happy showing off her butt; if that’s what she wanted good for her.
Not to mention, the sheer panels look like a run waiting to happen. See the horizontal lines at the top? Like stockings that have been stuck in the back of your dresser since 1998.
(Also, the individual earring thing is totally 80s.)
She just looks tryhard.
When I saw that dress detail, it nearly made me gasp out of shock at how cheap looking it became. Then I took the whole thing in and just about toppled over. This must be one of THE most hideous dresses I have ever seen. Can we also add the age factor? Better constructed, this would be appropriate on someone in their mid twenties; on 40 whatever Goop, this is pathetic. Yes, as you said, try-hard.
And epic fail.
You’re so right! It’s developing snags (besides being a tacky striptastic horror).
Now they’ll have to Photoshop those out when they lend it to a dozen glossy mag photoshoots.
Nope nope nope nope. All of my nope. Now I really feel bad for goop. This is the non peasant version of Amanda bynes, complete with weird dressing and over sharing.
My thoughts exactly..Nope, Nope, Nope..
This is so cheap, tacky….ugly….try hard…
She probably thinks she’s some avant-garde sophisticate, but holy cow this is trashy.
ooh–trashy is a good word.
SO. MUCH. A$$.
There is no subtlety to this dress.
This is a “look at me” dress through and through,
Pun? (Guffaw.)
So now the trend will become “Under cheek and side cheek”. Oh joy.
Putting it all on display and Chris Martin would still Rather hit RDJ. Go figure.
LOL Kevin’ good one.
cosigned.
That is awful. And unfortunately it’s the second dress I’ve seen like that with the side panels sheer, but hopefully the trend stops there.
So Goop is showing us she can go around pantless like a 22 years old stripper???
I think I’d love more the dress without the seethrough .
Oh my. I don’t…Really have any words for this…
It would have looked better with her hair up. Plus, the black see through at the sides makes her look like she has cellulite? Which I doubt she does.
Oh yeah… good shout, I see that too, now.
That’s what I was thinking. Either she doesn’t see it or she doesn’t care. Hmm I rather hope it’s the latter and she doesn’t mind flashing some dimples. I doubt it though; cellulite is for peasants. Also, why are dark roots still happening?
Actually I am relieved to see that the most beautiful woman in the world *cough* has cellulite. And the bad taste to wear such a horror of a dress. It gives me hope. *sniffle*
I can’t decide if I love it or hate it, but I do love her boldness. If nothing else she does make red carpets interesting.
Other than Tilda, I can’t think of another mainstream female celebrity who’s so willing to take a risk and wear something a bit avante garde. Even Cate Blanchett sticks to very safe silhouettes even when the other design features are a bit out there.
Tilda and Cate would laugh at the mere thought of wearing this nonsense.
That is because Tilda and Cate are goddesses
Even tho Tilda and Cate are tall slim and fair like Goop, they strike me as classier, much more Stunning and with a lot of talent and personality.
Gwynnie is not in their same leage talent or beauty wise.
ITA, Mauibond!
I think the dress (though ugly) was a good choice considering she is out promoting and trying to get attention for her movie.
An unusual dress is the easiest way to get everyone talking. She is doing her job effectively.
Her makeup looks pretty. Eye roll on the unflattering center part.
Gah! NO on the two different earrings!
I second this… also RDJ is wackadoodle all the time and nobody complains… oh these double standards!
C’mon- the only man I have ever seen wear sheer was Marc Jacobs! Wearing bizarre clothes doesn’t equate with walking around with your privates on display. This is design?? Nothing attractive, no gorgeous fabric- looks like someone went to Target and stitched together drapery panels. Sorry, don’t find this to be the least bit “daring”- just sad
Good God that dress is beyond tacky. She does have nice legs though.
As an aside, I truly feel sorry for her family or anyone that has to deal with her on a regular basis. Dealing with her never ending bouts of narcissism mixed with an undercurrent of insecurity must be truly exhausting and in general, a soul sucking experience. It will be interesting to see how the kids turn out though.
right?!?! she exhausts me and i’m not required to pay any attention to her.
i hope for her children’s sake she isn’t as awful a mother as the person she comes across as.
I don’t get it at all. The earrings really bother me.
She does have a fantastic ass.
In what way?? Google Amanda Latona or Paige Hathaway. Those are great asses! Hers is FLAT.
what ass?
are you posting this comment from the hubble telliscope?
The dress gives the illusion of cellulite.Also, no one wants to see Gwennie’s biscuits and that may even possibly include her husband. She’s insufferable.
”no one wants to see Gwennie’s biscuits and that may even possibly include her husband”
Hee hee!!!!
I can’t think of a single thing I like about this ensemble – she is trying SO hard. It’s off-putting.
She’s really using this momentum–the movie promotion, PEOPLE’S “Most Beautiful” thing, etc–and now THIS dress, to make sure people paying attention to her. Hmmmmm…..
Porn gown!!!!!!!
My eyes can’t unsee that horrid mess *shudders*. Goop fatigue level is really high right now
Ugly. Tacky. You’re not a silly teenager who doesn’t know better, Goop. Cover your ass.
And I can’t wait for her to go away. She’s really all over the place.
What is with her earrings? Did she lose one? Hate the dress it isn’t flattering or nice to look at.Goop needs to update her hair.
This is a dress that showcases the shadow of her babymaker. Brave of her but…
I think the silhouette of the dress isn’t too bad. It’s the sheer side panels that kill it for me.
when did 22 year old strippers start sporting pancake a$$?!?!
she is truly classless.
her desperation is so thick i spread it on my toast.
tasted just as expected: awful. completely over rated/priced.
She has the body and demure to pull it off. I imagine this on Jennifer Lopez and all I can think it’s disaster. More power to Goop!
demure? there is nothing demure about showing off the sides of pancake ass without any underwear!
nasty.
This is beyond ugly. There’s no “fashion boldness” here to admire in Goop, just plain desperation.
+1
Dress looks like a cheap project runway knockoff. Her bod is kickin tho!
The earring thing amuses me because it’s something I’ve only ever seen young British women do. Not to say non-Brits don’t mismatch their earrings, but for me it makes Goop look a little try-hard.
It was a huge style in the 80s in the US. I still have my large, gold covered leaf earring- it’s a lot like this:
http://img3.etsystatic.com/014/0/7213012/il_170x135.421867003_21mk.jp
Styles seem to repeat themselves with minor tweaking every 20-25 years, I’ve noticed.
By the end of the night, the wafted aroma was a goopy wild Alaskan salmon oil.
that’s not the butt of a twenty something year old!!!!! she’s all cottage cheese!
It looks like something made in home economics class with leftover scraps.
That said, even though I find her annoying and think Traci Anderson is of the devil, her ass looks nice for a mom at 40 for sure.
I guess she’s trying to show us what a 22-year old stripper’s butt looks like.
I wonder if she was paranoid about the dress twisting around a little and showing her underwear or private parts. I know I would be!! This does not look like a comfortable dress…
There are no words.. Maybe a couple? What is this?
I’m gooped out.
Lucite heels and exposed bum skin is the epitome of taste and class, you’re all jealous.
Actually I’m good, but Courtney Stodden and Octomom are having a shit-fit to get their hands on that outfit!
I started the two different earring thing in ’99. This dress would be better with less butt. I like the sleeves and stuff.
I have yet to be as impressed with this girl as she is with herself.
What? she’s peddling organic stripper poles now?
This dress looks like a robe, definitely not worthy of a red carpet event.
I feel like we are inundated with her night and day and it doesn’t make me want to see her movies or buy what she’s selling.
She is starting to have the same “pulled up eyes” as Christie Brinkley
Yes! I don’t believe her ‘no plastic surgery’ claims. Or her ‘no botox’ claims. please.
I’m not a Goop fan but I sort of think she looks incredible here. That gown was made for her body. Her look is part desperate, part amazing.
I don’t care for the dress. I don’t like the lines or the sleeves and I think the structure piece on the bodice stands out too much – there are too many places calling for the eye to look. Had the solid pieces been one color (black) and the lines simple with understated sleeves, this could have worked.
The sheer panels are sexy as hell and she has a great backside. I would love a negligee with this effect. However, I find it indecent for a red carpet and honestly, I would expect a stunt like this from Courtney Stodden.
Desperate.
Whenever I see stars with dresses without underwear, I always wonder if they dry clean the dress or whatever before returning the borrowed dress to the designer.
I mean those dresses aren’t something you can throw into the washing machine and call it a day. I’m not even sure dresses like that can be dry cleaned.
no no no no. Just. NO
*scratching eyeballs out to erase the horror*
Me no see no undies,not even invisible ones..as for ‘I’ll wear this straight off the runway and show everyone my Goop (*YOU FORGOT TO PUT THE 22 YR OLD*)butt’…its not a regular butt ya know.it looks like a 22 year old,and dont ever forget that.
It’s a unique design but poorly executed. The different colours don’t help at all. Bleh.
However, I do like the two different earrings. Sorry that might date me as a kid of the 90s but I did and do like that trend haha.
I thought BEYSUS her mom made the dress.looks like an ugly h.o.d.,some some.
She’s having her (early)midlife crisis.the beginning of part 1
I feel embarrassed just looking at her dress!
No. Just no.
Im a couple of years older than her never exercise due to a long term back problem and her butt is about as good as mine.
She’s been truly ripped off lol
yes, it’s tacky, but she also looks like she knows it’s tacky and doesn’t care because she’s having fun wearing it.
How about ‘desperate’? As in, ‘desperate for attention’ because that’s how she rolls.
Before I clicked through to the story and saw the photos, I thought “it can’t be that bad.”
I stand corrected.
One good thing… her nail polish color is beautiful!
Bleh. In this getup she looks like the old trollops who used to hang out at Slutto’s. Oops, I meant Sutto’s. (Those in western Sydney will know the place.) Come on, woman. Show some class. You’re 40. Time to cover the bum and minge. I can smell the desperation from here.
Nice to catch up on some Sydney lingo!
beurk !!! (its french)
I see Kelly Ripa….
Hideous.
What the hell? Is she serious? Kind of sad.
Why on Earth did they add a seam to the side. I don’t love the dress, but it’d look better without the seam and it’s not necessary or am I missing something?
Well, I hate it. It might have looked good on paper – I like the shape it’s making with the trim – but fully realized as a dress, it’s an abomination. And I’m not just saying that bc it’s on the most beautiful woman in the world either.
She’s beautiful and can pull off the dress with a great body. But I dislike the dress.
And ever since her bff jealous Madonna publicly ditched her; Goopy has been plotting this ‘1up score’ hotter-nicer-wiser-&-more-prettier-than-you-slag revenge..
yuck
that’s the worst thing ever.
I’d like the dress better if it was just black or white or just black and without the weird sleeves. Sheer panels always look better to me then bare skin, but I think if you’re going to show that much, the dress should really be one color.
What the hell is that? No, just please no.
she’s not healthy just for the sake of being healthy, she’s healthy to rub it in your face so she feels superior-that’s why people hate her. if you’re secure with yourself you don’t have to rub your accomplishments in others’ faces. like showing your ass in an ugly dress. yet i agree that if it had been black and white it would have been classier.
She looks beautiful to me. Even more important, she looks happy.
Hahaha, Kaiser, I love you but you’re obsessed with “this looks 90s/dated, doesn’t it?” you say that about EVERYTHING. :p
that dress is one big F*CK YOU for all haters
I’m sorry, it back-fired. There are many, many better glutes and hammies out there. Hers is flat by many standards. I’ve down hours and hours of the Tracy Anderson videos and I’ve done a lot of cardio and heavy squatting. Tracy’s method does not garner the same results. Ask ANY certified trainer in a gym.
No not really. She has been known for beig chic and put together on the carpet.
Also this hater thing is tired and played out. Most people are not jealous just don’t like her. Big difference.
Flashing her bits and pieces and strippper ass
So so so desperate.
I’ve suspected for some time she would like to be completely nude in public.
Little by little she flashes as much as she can so her perfect body can be appreciated.
Even the peons deserve to have their day brightened by a glimpse of GOOP bits.
I bet she would go nude in a movie. Just like Demi Moore posting all those body shots because Ashton was cheating on her, Goop is doing the same. Just not as obvious.
She always had saggy boobs, even before kids, so not a perfect body. But she has always worn clothes beautifully with her lithe figure and height. I remember her in that movie with Michael Douglas as his younger wife. She looked stunning in her clothes in that movie.
Perfect in her mind. 🙂
Not a healthy 40 year old body. Sooner or later, all the starving her body of what it needs will have taken its toll.
She’s got an enviable figure and looks great here, but yeah, this dress strikes me as tacky and try-hard. A rare miss for Goop.
I agree her body is very nice (I reckon anyone who thinks you can look like this without exercise is delusional!) – but yes this dress is cringeworthily tryhard, and I’d think exactly the same even if it was on a 22 year old stripper, lol. That said, my retinas are greatful it’s on Paltrow and not some person with miles of lumps and bumps and rolls oozing out.
All Together in unison “EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW”!!!
My eyes!
Before anyone calls me jealous I want to say that I honestly prefer my butt to her “22yr old stripper ass”.
I’m tall & lanky like her, but I’m also muscular & have a curvy, hourglass shape.
I’ve grown to really love my round, bubble booty! No complaints from the man, either. 😉
I see an insecure woman. Everything is does, is a reaction to what other celebrities do. Her marriage must be on the verge of that divorce annoucement.
I think I was the only one who noticed her cellulites, after all her training…How peasanty, Goop! 🙂
I alluded to this in my comment further down. I’m trying to determine if this is (what we in the fitness world refer to as) skinny-fat cellulite or if it’s the effect of rippling in the sheer fabric. I would NEVER deign to pull this off unless I had been squatting and dead-lifting like a mo-fo. Actually, I just would never wear this dress period. FAIL.
This is a ridiculous dress. She has two children and this is totally inappropriate imo. I think she is going through a mid-life crisis after turning 40.
Actually I really like this gown and her styling here (although I agree that she should mix up her hair sometimes). It’s weird but it works on her.
OMG horrifying.
Ugly, ugly, ugly, goddamn that is one ugly dress! But her legs are amazing (best legs in the bizz imo, next to Cameron Diaz) and her ass is not too bad either.
TACKY, TACKY, AND TACKY. Nothing can justify that dress.
well, that 22 year old stripper ass is gorgeous, and I should know, I hire strippers for our club. That gorgeous 22 year old ass is welcome to dance at our club any time and I’m even offering payment. don’t mind seeing a lady pull off an edgy outfit at times. the front needs work, but the sides are stunning.
I just want to tie her to a chair and give her a new hairstyle.
+1000
I call it Aniston-Syndrome. JA managed to eventually break out of it but, for a while (also while with Brad!), it was flat-iron city and parted down the middle, over and over and over again. Yawn.
Looks fine from the front but trashy from the side…you said it…strippertastic! It looks like something you would wear to the adult video awards here in Vegas.
Wrong. Just wrong. One every level. Worst dress ever. Can’t wait to hear what Joan says this week!
The minute I saw this on dlisted I hopped over here to hear what you gals had to say about this lewd disaster! I’m sorry, it’s just bad. She’s 40 now, she needs to start acting it. I just don’t understand why every red carpet look has to be more crazy, “wow” and out-landish than the one before?! Why can’t a dress just be an elegant dress anymore? Susan Downey and Elsa Pataky both look great and appropriate, why can’t she?? I think it’s just the rippling of the sheer black fabric, but it makes her thighs looked dimpled with cellulite. It’s so unattractive. I don’t want to see anybody’s ass whilst (for Goopy) not on a beach, lol. I squat heavy at the gym and work so hard on my derriere so I feel I can say, put that ass away Gwenny! Ewww
It looks like the pattern is still pinned onto the front of the dress. I don’t want to see her bum. She is very thin and actually needs to gain weight but I can see cellulite on the backs of her legs. There’s a reason we all wear clothes so please don’t push the envelope. I don’t want to see all that. Leave a little something to the imagination. Mmmkay?
Looks like she is channeling KStew’s recent trashy naked looks.
I actually like the dress…just hate the shoes, earrings & hair! But I am in the minority & love me some GOOP! I just have some unexplainable affection for her. I know she is a try hard & comes across as a snob, but I think deep down she is a cool person!
Anyone else think Goopster has had another rhinoplasty? Photo #4 – the one where she’s standing in front of the movie poster – looks like a before and after set of photos.
LOVE her manicure. That’s all I’ve got.
I look forward to seeing what Joan Rivers has to say about this hideous mess on the next Fashion Police. 😀
You’re so right! Must set PVR…
Goop knows she doesn’t get any PR coverage now unless she spouts her GOOP nonsense or wears a bad dress.
She’s one insecure unhappy woman. Should just be happy with her kids, job and husband. Something’s waay off her in life to keep these antics up.
I think it does have a porny/stripper vibe to it. but I will hand it to her..she has a great body. Good for her.
I just wish she would realize though that what she has in not attainable for everyone. that is why she grates on people;s nerves. She seems to chastize other’s lifestyles- without the realization that the resources at her disposal are rare.
She reminds me of Mitt Romney ALOT. there is alot of clueless going on.
She has a phenomenal figure, but even that can’t help this dress. This is seriously butt ugly.
She is trying to be sexy. And wants to be seen as sexy. That is what this dress, short dresses and everything else. She wants the world to see her as this sexy 40 year old. I know women talk about her body and envy it.. so anyway.. but I never hear men talk about her in a sexual way. I never here male actors go on and on about working with her or how beautiful she is. NEVER. Not even RDJ.
That dress is very TRY hard. and truly naturally attractive, sexy, beautiful women don’t have try this hard. They are sexy because they simply are Sexy.
finally figured out why goop wore that hideous dress. Lainey has a TON of pictures. It’s because of Angie. It;’s got to be related to Angelina and the leg.
that fake blonde hair just ages her and makes her face skin look like an aged sunburned Harley rider chick
The dress is a whole mess. Not including the tacky sheer panel. Overall, its just one big design mess.
For some reason this dress says “Look at me, I’ll be on the market soon”. Just my two cents.
That dress does NOT look good.
I have a picture of gwyneth in a bathing suit from behind. She does not have a butt of a 22 year old. More like a 45 year old. check it out on twitter: @evelyn_apricots
Went over and saw it. Ewww and, more importantly, found this morsel while hunting. Unbelievable slag
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/14/dining/i-was-a-cookbook-ghostwriter.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
Its boudoir wear, what you find louche women on the Riviera wearing at home to entertain in private equally louche men. What is she doing? Is it true bipolar people tend to be exhibitionists? It’s such a contrarian outfit on a sexless woman.
Well put! Well put. Hahahahaahah really made me laugh
She looks insecure and desperate in this dress. It’s fugly.
I had to “re-tweet” this from another blog:
Horrible. Looks like an enormous panty liner is stuck to her dress.
I’m sorry, but remind me why she was chosen “most beautiful woman” by People Magazine? Oh yes, because as I read somewhere, she gave People dibs on her upcoming divorce. Isn’t she already talking openly about troubles in her marriage? UGH…never could stand her.
REALLY?!? Whoa…that’s crazy. I really don’t know how PR or the Hollywood “machine” works. Someone wrote that the picture that PEOPLE used is old, vintage Goopy from when she was 29 or 30.
Love that she made the choice to wear f*u dress instead of something safe and cookbooky. She has what it takes and I’m glad she is not holding her back. 🙂
She’s really desperate, uhu?
Look at me Look at me look at me, attention seeking and desperate
