6 photos in galleryIf I remember right — which is about a 60/40 crapshoot — Gwyneth told Ryan Seacrest that she tried on two outfits and this one was her favorite. Perhaps she should’ve kept shopping. Because this smacks of making SO MUCH EFFORT, and that’s not Gwyneth Paltrow should be. Gwyneth is, in turns, infuriating and awesome for how effortless she makes things look: singing and dancing on Glee; stomping around in a catsuit atop Cee Lo’s grand piano;crying on camera; dying on camera (BULL TRUE); cutting her hair short in Sliding Doors (seriously, has anyone else worn that essentially not-great haircut as well as she did?); pretending to be British on film; pretending to be a tiny bit British in real life;parenting; cooking; truffle-hunting or whatever it is she does for GOOP when she’s not asking Deepak Chopra to talk to us about spirituality and pants… you get the gist. Gwyneth should know by now that when we look at her, we want to be kind of awed and grossed-out by how simple she makes it look to be somebody whose life has to be incredibly complicated and under-carbohydrated. So WHY IS SHE TRYING THIS HARD? We don’t want to see your mental sweat, GOOPie. We’d rather read about what your gurus think a person can do to combat mental sweat. Maybe you should call Deepak?

Well Played, Gwyneth Paltrow
I think what I love most about this photo is not even the dress.
It’s the very CAREFUL way Gwynnie appears to be leaving this restaurant, as if maybe she had one sangria too many, and/or really regrets that $60 glass of port, and now she’s just focusing. Really. Hard. On. Walking. Without. Tripping. We have all been there. I think I spent four years there in college and scored enough credits for it to be my minor. But the outfit is good, too — leave it to Gwynnie to mix clashing hues and have it somehow come out all right. That woman.

Fug or Fab, and Well Played, Gwyneth Paltrow
7 photos in galleryMy dirty little secret is that I loved Gwyneth for YEARS. YEARS when it was unpopular to do so. Years and years. I don’t know, I just found her Ice Queen Shiny Blond Nantucket Tweed Driving Gloves Preppy look very appealing, and I really liked Shakespeare in Love. And then I kind of forgot about her, and then GOOP happened, and then I hated GOOP, and then I kind of loved GOOP again and now I secretly do really love GOOP, if only because sometimes it’s so dumb in such a charming way, and then other times it is infuriating and it’s really fun to get infuriated occasionally about things that really aren’t important, because you can get your heart rate up and then totally forget about it. Also, it does have pretty good recipes. And now, with this picture, I might be TOTALLY IN on Gwyneth again.

Met Ball Fuger or Fabber Carpet: Sarah Jessica Parker vs GOOP
5 photos in galleryYou know the Met Ball was well-attended when we’re more than halfway through the second day of our coverage, and I just said, “Oh, hell, we haven’t even covered SJP and Gwynnie yet.” So why not cover them together? They both went with austere necklines in a nude color with a lot of sparkles, but of course, within those similarities there is room for a lot of differences. Shall we get ready to rumble? BRING IT, LADIES.

You win this one. But I’m NOT buying your stupid $500 cleanse, no matter what you do.
