\n EDITOR\u2019S NOTE:\u00a0 Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, \u2018Look of the Week\u2019<\/a> is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days.\n<\/p>\n

\n Gwyneth Paltrow\u2019s new line, GWYN, is filled with tasteful charcoal and moss green colored chunky knit cardigans, minimalist boat-neck blouses and unassuming mid-length navy pleated skirts. Made for the \u201cdynamic women that do it all,\u201d according to the brand, the clothes are chic, classic and largely unidentifiable \u2014 exactly what Paltrow herself often wears. But at Gucci\u2019s Spring-Summer 2026 show at Milan Fashion Week, Paltrow defected from her role as queen of quiet luxury and went full logomania.\n <\/p>\n

\n Her pussybow blouse, belted midi skirt and thigh-high boots were head-to-toe Gucci, with almost every inch monogrammed. It\u2019s a departure from the reigning trend of clothes that whisper wealth through their cut, fiber composition or slow production process.\n <\/p>\n

\"Almost<\/p>\n

\n Although she has long been associated with elegant minimalism, Paltrow\u2019s reputation as a stealth luxury loyalist reached new heights when she appeared in an Utah court in 2023 over a skiing accident<\/a>. (The jury found the star not liable for injuries sustained by a man who sued her after the two collided on a slope in 2016, and ruled in favor of her counterclaim).\n <\/p>\n

\n During the civil trial, she made headlines for her carefully curated series of understated, if-you-know-you-know stylish looks that were worth thousands: such as a plain cream Loro Piana turtleneck sweater that retailed for over $2,000<\/a>. \u201cBillionaire chic,\u201d the media wrote<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n But on Wednesday Paltrow proved she was no sartorial one-trick-pony, instead opting for an outfit that would have felt right at home on the set of \u201cHouse of Gucci\u201d (2021). It was fitting, with the air of experimentation and newness that surrounded the brand\u2019s first show with new creative director Demna at the helm. The Georgian designer, who joins the house from Balenciaga, presented a film filled with dramatic, kitschy looks from feather-trimmed monogrammed poncho dresses to tiger-print fur coats. It was a far cry from the clean lines and pared-down vision of Sabato de Sarno, who Demna replaced earlier this year.\n <\/p>\n

\n It seems like both Paltrow and Gucci are having a break from quiet luxury \u2014 for now.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EDITOR\u2019S NOTE:\u00a0 Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, \u2018Look of the Week\u2019 is a regular series…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44049,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,39054,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-44048","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-look-of-the-week","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44048"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44048\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
