Gwyneth Paltrow's personal collection of vintage fashion from the ’90s includes designer shoes she’s saving for Apple, a biker jacket she wore in the movie Flesh and Bone, and a Calvin Klein dress from when she was still dating Brad Pitt. Remember that?
The Oscar winner turned wellness maven took viewers into her “storage facility” in a video on Goop's YouTube channel that was part closet tour, part trip down memory lane. “This is a ’90s Calvin Klein dress I think I wore to a premiere or something when I was going out with Brad Pitt,” Paltrow says casually, pulling out a white shirtdress. “It's slouchy, it's relaxed. It's giving that very ’90s ‘I don't give a fuck.’”
The premiere Paltrow is referring to was for The Pallbearer in 1996 in New York City, when she and Pitt were at the height of their relationship, and fashion was at its most quintessentially ’90s. Photos from the event show Pitt with the standard floppy haircut, a sweater vest over a T-shirt, and khakis. The relationship didn't last, unfortunately, and the couple split up in 1997, though they have remained friends.
The Calvin Klein dress was far from the only sentimental treasure the actor pulled from her archive. Later in the vid, Paltrow brings out the floral collared dress she wore when current fiancé Brad Falchuk proposed. “This is the dress I was wearing when Brad proposed to me, actually,” she says. “We were in Italy. Climbed up to a roof deck thing and he surprised me!”
She also showed off the loafers she wore as Margot Tenenbaum on The Royal Tenenbaums (“So cool, and I asked to keep them. Because they said no to the Birkin bag."), and the pink Manolo Blahniks she wore when she won the Oscar for best actress for Shakespeare in Love. Of course the perfect closet would be Gwyneth Paltrow's.
