Sure, it’s Gwyneth Paltrow, maybe she can wear anything, but who says you can’t consider donning something similar?
What made it work:
- Fuss-free hair & make-up with a cut that has a cool edge nonetheless- anything more “done” would just look old
- Minimal, elegant pumps in a dark hue paired with bare skin for a visual break -flats would have made her look too young
- While her dress has little to no detailing, it does boast a pretty sculpted shape (her figure is incredible!) in an off-beat color that makes it stand out
- Take note of how her purse is equally ladylike and full of details with a pop of interesting colors
- Save all accessories for another look, keep it that simple!
