For as long as I’ve been interested in fashion, I’ve been interested in what Gwyneth Paltrow is wearing. Refined but not unfussy, timeless but still attuned to the trends of the moment, Gwyneth’s outfits are a source of inspiration whenever I’m feeling stuck.
While Gwyneth’s current outfits are undeniably elegant (I’ve documented more than a few recent favourites), I have a particular penchant for some of her ’90s looks. The silhouettes she championed then—sleek knits, minimalist tailoring, easy layering—feel just as relevant in 2025 as they did three decades ago. Below, I’ve rounded up five of her best looks from the era that I’ll be re-creating this month.

Style Notes: Long before 2025’s scarf-knit obsession took hold, Paltrow was styling the chic silhouette. In 1997, she wore a sleeveless version in a soft beige tone, pairing it with glossy leather trousers. In 2025, I think this would look just as chic with straight-leg jeans.
