I love a “behind-the-scenes” video of celebrities getting ready for a red carpet. I especially love when the video is brief, anything under three or four minutes is ideal. I don’t need to watch a damn 20 minute video of someone getting their hair done! Well, shock of shocks, Gwyneth Paltrow did a BTS video for her brand, Goop, as she got ready for the Oscars. She’s in a hotel room with her glam squad, and they kept this mercifully under 3 minutes.
What I love about it is that you can see that Gwyneth is an old hand at this – she’s sitting in a comfortable chair and she’s not bothered by six different people handling various parts of her body at once. The only time she balked was when they put her eye lashes on.
They don’t show Gwyneth being sewn into her Armani dress, but she says that they will have to do just that, and that “I won’t be able to pee for the whole time I’m there.” Which… ugh. Why choose that dress then? Her ass was hanging out at various angles, the sheer panels were not a good look AND she wasn’t able to use the ladies’ room the entire time? Gross.

She wanted to be noticed, that’s for sure.
That’s one of the reasons I figure she’d want to wear that dress, even if it meant not being able to go to the bathroom.
She’s not faded in terms of being famous, but it didn’t occur to me that she had actually starred in something, and that’s why she was there, until Marty Supreme lost everything that night.
Other than the Oscar winners, Leonardo DiCaprio seemed to have a ton of focus on him haha.
There was a video of Gwyneth running through a crowd while….her dress is causing issues…but I’m sure the video of Leonardo DiCaprio hugging Michael B Jordan came out on top.
She and I are the same age and we’re too old for that nonsense. Being sewed into a dress is a young woman’s game Gwen!
She trying stay in the public consciousness and I don’t think she needs to do stuff like this to have people chatting about her but what do I know.
What’s weird is that even if she were young, everyone would still be paying more attention to the Oscar winners. One is not really important on that night unless they’re nominated.
I think she did want to be noticed in the way Julia Roberts might be (who is one of the only few stars I can think of that could show up, get everyone’s attention, and NOT be nominated), but since she has that Goop stuff happening, I think of her as more of a businesswoman now and I forget that she gets to act when she wants to.
After having children there is no way I would ever be sewed into any clothing, that could be dangerous 🫣
After having my son there is NO way I’d be sewn into something where going pee in the bathroom is no longer an option. One good sneeze would do me in.
But fortunately y’all she’s also not wearing panties, so it’s just a perfect storm of WTF?!
If this is what it takes to stay in the public eye, go at it, Gwyn. Go on being your haughty, ridiculous self.
To me, this looks like an easy dress for using the facilities. No underwear to bother with and simply hoist the back panel to relieve one’s self. If it was impossible, I don’t see why. Her look was fine, from the front only.
I hate that I had that same thought. No underwear. Get the angle right and figure it out.
I do not believe for one second that she couldn’t pee for the entire Oscars broadcast.
