Gwyneth Paltrow’s Style Steals the Show in Court During Ski Crash Trial
Gwyneth Paltrow has a knack for making headlines, and her recent appearance in court during the ski crash trial in Park City, Utah was no exception. As an alleged 2016 collision case came to a close, the Oscar-winning actress showcased her impeccable sense of style, pairing major designer labels with her own G. Label by Goop trademark threads. Cynthia Augello, partner at Warren Law Group, told Fox News Digital that “every aspect of her behavior, attire, and statements will be scrutinized,” and it is not surprising that Paltrow opted for a low-key appearance to impress the jury.
However, her wardrobe choices were anything but low key. The 50-year-old actress’s outfits included a variety of designer labels and her own Goop collection, some of which sold out in minutes online after being introduced in court. Although each look was costly and ambitious, they all had a similar neutral palette which presented Paltrow’s subtle and sophisticated sense of style.
On the first day of the trial, Paltrow wore a pair of $1,200 brown leather Celine boots, a green trench coat, and a cream sweater from The Row, and aviator Ray-Ban sunglasses. On the second day, she sported an ivory G. Label by Goop cardigan with a $25,000 Foundrae gold clip chain necklace and a brown leather Celine bag. Paltrow wore a gray Brunello Cucinelli suit on the third day, which she had previously worn shopping with her daughter, Apple. On the fourth day, she testified wearing a long navy blue skirt and a black, long-sleeve polo shirt with $1,320 Chelsea boots by Prada. For day five, Paltrow wore a $595 Goop black cardigan with a matching skirt, and on day six, she opted for $900 Proenza Schouler White Label leather culottes. The actress also paired her own pink G. Label blouse with the ensemble. Paltrow wore black on day seven and carried her trusty $250 notebook. Finally, on Judgment Day, she wore a Ralph Lauren top with a blue blazer from the designer label.
While Paltrow’s wardrobe would be considered expensive for the average person, she undoubtedly made a conscious effort to choose attire that conforms to the expectations of the local community while maintaining a simple look. Lawyer Andres Munoz, partner with Romano law, told Fox News Digital that Paltrow’s choice of clothing and accessories may be to play to the local crowd or to emphasize that she is the “obviously famous defendant” who is being subjected to a plaintiff’s seizure of money. However, the balance is to appeal to the jury by coming across as more likable and relatable while remaining genuine. Juries often punish dishonorable behavior with an immediate loss of credibility and sympathy, and Paltrow’s appearance at this trial was an unspoken tool of persuasion that fell into the latter category.
In conclusion, Paltrow’s fashion choices during the ski crash trial not only demonstrated her impeccable sense of style but also served as an unspoken tool of persuasion. While her attire may have been costly, Paltrow undoubtedly considered its impact on the jury and her overall appearance at the trial.
