Gwyneth Paltrow in Net-a-Porter Magazine, Reveals Spring Must-haves
She acts, she sings, she cooks, she GOOPs ... and now she's modeling for Net-a-Porter's magazine. Is there anything Gwyneth Paltrow can't do?
In an interview with the online designer destination, the multitasking star opens up about her "timeless" style secrets while posing in a chic selection of the e-tailer's Spring 2011 wares.
"In my daily life, I'm very casual," the Oscar-winning actress, clad in a Chinti & Parker sweater, tells the magazine. "I wear things that are comfortable like jeans and T-shirts and dress them up with a blazer."
For the shoot with lensman Andreas Sjödin, however, Paltrow opted for a dressier leg-baring, drawstring-waist blush maxi dress from pal Stella McCartney paired with a cream Chloé blazer and clutch and Marni's beige fringed peep-toe sandals.
Another shot sees her throwing an oversize blue McCartney blazer over a printed Étoile Isabel Marant dress cinched with a brown leather Ralph Lauren Black Label belt.
Along with McCartney—whom she calls "a favorite of mine"—Paltrow singles out Vionnet, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Rachel Roy, and Alexander Wang as her top designer picks, as well as newcomers MiH Jeans, Camilla Skovgaard, and Alessandra Rich.
"The most important thing for the red carpet is to feel good about your body because you are scrutinized," the Coach ambassador advises.
"Know your shape, know what looks good on you, and dress to flatter your figure. For work, I like things that are flexible, like a little summer dress that you can also wear on the weekends barefoot. At the weekend, I'm always in jean shorts and a T-shirt, extremely relaxed."
Of course, "relaxed" does come at a price. The star's Net-a-Porter Spring 2011 wish list includes luxuries like an alligator-trimmed leather jacket from The Row and a Lanvin halter-neck gown.
Can you handle it?
