Gwyneth Paltrow's Courtroom Outfits Were The Definition Of Stealth Wealth
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
All cameras were focused on Gwyneth Paltrow over the last two weeks as the actor and wellness influencer appeared in Utah court over a ski collision that occurred in 2016.
The Goop mogul and Academy Award winner chose to keep a low profile with outfits that said quiet luxury; she was ultimately found not liable for the crash, and the man who sued her was ordered to pay $1 and her legal bills.
Also referred to as being "low-key rich" or having "stealth wealth," a term embodied by Succession, Paltrow's outfits embodied the phrase "money talks but wealth whispers." She consistently ditched logos. She traded gaudy prints and eye-catching trends for shades and fabrics that didn't scream, "I'm rich," but subtly mentioned it.
It was bespoke, and everyone noticed.
Day 1: Ray-Ban aviators, an opening statement piece
All eyes were on Paltrow the first day of trial, and the Goop mogul knew it. Outside the courtroom, she covered up in a $5,445 olive green Jaka oversize wool-blend felt coat from the Row, the fashion line founded by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, paired with $1,200 tan lace-up Celine boots that some may have mistaken for Timberland.
Inside, she wore a cream turtleneck sweater, also from the Row, and accessorized with Ray-Ban aviators and a $325 notebook from Smythson, a British luxury leather goods brand.
Day 2: Paltrow represents herself with her own clothing line
On the second day of the trial, Paltrow decided to wear a $595 ivory Bennett belted crew neck cardigan from her own brand, G. Label by Goop.
Day 3: A real law suit
Paltrow's outfit for the third day of trial, an oversize yet slim-cut gray blazer, fell more in line with traditional courtroom drama. A $25,000 custom 18-karat yellow gold chain from Fondrea showed an heirloom aesthetic.
Day 4: Goth chic
Paltrow served the court on the fourth day with full goth Prada, with a $2,200 black cashmere polo shirt and $1,450 black monolith brushed leather boots.
Day 5: It's giving Wednesday Addams
On the fifth day, Paltrow repeated the subtle gothic chic trend with a twist of prep (Wednesday Addams much?) by wearing Goop's G. Label Alisha V-neck cardigan, listed at $595.
Day 6: Classy yet casual
Paltrow decided to add some color to the courtroom with a $425 Camila bow blouse from her own line, elegantly contrasted with Nappa leather wide-leg culottes by Proenza Schouler White Label, worth $895.
Day 7: Funeral attire for the courtroom
Paltrow showed up to court wearing all black with her Smythson notebook.
Day 8: Yacht club aesthetic
Paltrow ended the trial in a navy corduroy Bianca jacket by Bella Freud, originally priced at $1,000 but you can get it on sale now for $400. The sleek Italian cotton patch pockets whisper well-traveled luxury.
