Gwyneth Paltrow’s Army Jacket Also Has a Message


Gwyneth Paltrow might be busy getting ready for her upcoming fall nuptials to Brad Falchuk, but the actress also knows the importance of some R&R. Paltrow has been engaged to Falchuk since the start of the year—she made the announcement on the cover of goop magazine—and celebrated with friends in April in a custom oxblood Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress.

And while Paltrow’s red carpet moments are always stellar, it was refreshing to see the star let her hair down while on the Amalfi Coast. Paltrow’s go-to uniform of head-to-toe white popped against her lush surroundings, as did her choice of outer layer: an army green jacket.

It’s a piece that has been in the news lately for other reasons. But while Melania Trump’s Zara version was emblazoned with a questionable message, Paltrow kept things subtle with a classic (but unexpected in this context) monogram on her right hip. The fitted silhouette also lent her look an elevated touch.

The simple white tee and fluid ankle-grazing trousers had an effortless, elongating effect, while coordinated Alexander McQueen sneakers fashionably grounded the look. And the Top Gun-esque accents—aviator shades and an oversize tote—were classic Paltrow, and ideal inspiration for a Fourth of July getaway.
