Dear Gwyneth,
We’ve written to you before, dote on you often, and find ways to use your editorial shots whenever we can.
I’ve been following your career since you were doing TV movies–the one where Robert Urich is your husband-murdering dad is amazing, along with the one where your real mom plays your mom and you have a D&D obsessed brother who goes bonkers. Love. And don’t even get me started on the big screen stylings of Margot Tenenbaum and Marge Sherwood.
Call me a fan girl, call it a girl crush. Whatever. I’ll own it. And on the clothing front, I cannot lie about the fact that you’ve had a huge influence. The names Koi Suwannagate and Blue Cult came into my vocabulary via you, just to name two. You still have my favorite American Vogue cover in recent memory and just pretty consistently amaze me stylewise. And I covet your hair.
I love GOOP, I do. I still look forward to it on Thursday mornings. But here’s my beef: not enough fashion. In fact, there’s barely any style stuff at all these days. The food bits are nice and all (loved the PBS show with Batali and Bittman) and I get that it’s a passion of yours. The books and music? Also cool from time to time. The parenting advice? Not so much. I know fashion is one of your loves too. So can we pretty please hear more about that?
You’ve got the ultimate insider POV and we want to share it. Also if you wanted to sell some of your stuff on eBay again…that wouldn’t be terrible.
Thanks much.

Ditto! I LOVE Gwenyth and subscribed to the “It’s Goop” newsletter specifically for her musings on style and fashion. Every week I am excited to see an email waiting in my inbox from “It’s Goop” and each time I see it, I hold my breath hoping it will be a style issue — NOT ONCE in the entire time that I have been receiving “It’s Goop” emails have I received a style musing (I will admit that for a while I got so tired of parenting advice that I began deleting them before opening, so I may have missed a few this time last year). I do enjoy some of the recipes, certainly, and I like to live vicariously through her recommendations on eateries, delis and the like in Europe, but it is Gwenyth’s style that I LOVE and of which I would like to see more!
meh. I don’t hate Gwyneth like some people do, but she’s no Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and her general attitude typically sucks.
Also, I have to question the intelligence of anyone who willingly spends so much time around that insane troll Tracy Anderson.
i can’t stand her, saw anthony bourdain on the subway and i wanted to tell him i loved it when he said “Why would you go to Spain with the one bitch who refuses to eat ham?” LOLLLLLZZZZZ seems like a fishtick, bland, soggy, and whitebread
Marge Sherwood has amazing style! She is one of the cutest characters on film.
Anthony Bourdain is a tool. total d-bag.
Actually I thought the Anthony Bourdain comment was pretty funny. He’s got a point. Picky eaters probably don’t need to host food shows.
I generally like Gwyneth but she does come across as spoiled rotten, entitled, snooty and pretentious as hell. I love her movies, her style, the fact that we both like London but her personality seems like it could use a large dose of humility. When I lived in London, they shut down Topshop one morning so she could shop. I thought “Oh piss off Paltrow! You wanna dress like a commoner and share our good deals? Then shop with us too and deal with the crowds”.
i want to like her, i do, because i think she is a really good actress. but any interview i read of her she comes across as so pretenious and in love with her wealth.
and anthony bouridain is a tool, but that comment is hilarious.
Do you guys at Fashionista have the Alexander McQueen guest edited issue of British Vogue with Gwyneth on the cover? I believe it’s from 2005.
I do like her personal style but Mario Batali is just really gross.
Love when Gwyn too, Great Expectations is one of my faves. And of course, Royal Tenenbaums.
I would probably read GOOP more often if there was more about fashion. She is ultimately qualified to discuss style and fashion. You wrote what I was thinking Abby.
I want to love GOOP, but let’s be honest, what I really want from Gwyneth Paltrow is an intravenous feed of style and beauty advice. If she and Lauren Santo Domingo and Jessica Stam could get together for a series of roundtable discussions about antioxidant-spiked moisturizers led by Anna Dello Russo’s thighs I would never be a productive human being again.
love love love gwyneth. she always looks flawless (except for that one time she had that goth look – who knows what im talking about?) To this day i try to channel Marge Sherwood’s as often as possible.
one of my all time faves:
