Gwyneth Paltrow turned heads on the Oscars 2026 red carpet in a strapless, ivory silk Giorgio Armani Privé gown that revealed dramatic high slits on the sides, as well as hidden sparkly sheer trousers underneath. Though not nominated individually, Paltrow's film "Marty Supreme" is up for 9 awards, including Best Picture.

Why it matters

Paltrow's racy Oscars look is a departure from her usual elegant style, showcasing a more daring and sultry side. As a lifestyle brand founder, her fashion choices are closely watched, and this dress is sure to generate buzz and discussion.

The details

The gown oozes Old Hollywood elegance from the front, but a turn to the side reveals the dramatic high cut-out slits and the hidden sparkly sheer trousers. Paltrow paired the look with a dazzling diamond necklace, and her makeup artist revealed that she wears nothing but Goop in a post-shower scene in her film "Marty Supreme".
