Yes, we’re still doing some backup coverage from the Oscars. So let’s keep talking about one of the most talked-about looks from the Oscars, Gwyneth Paltrow and goopy superhero cape, all by Tom Ford. Now that I’m some-odd 40 hours removed from Super-Goop’s cape, I do have to admit… it was a smart look, style-wise. If she had just gone with the Tom Ford gown, it would have been too plain, too bridal. With the cape, she really snazzed it up, though. Too bad she took off the cape for her presenting duties, and for the after-parties. I would have enjoyed it more if she rocked the cape all night.

In other Goop news, while Gwyneth was at the Governor’s Ball (just after the Oscars), she was asked about her BFF Beyonce and little Blue Ivy. Gwyneth deigned to speak about BIC!

She’s only seven-weeks-old, but Blue Ivy Carter is destined to become a star like her parents Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z.

“She is going to be an entertainer,” Gwyneth Paltrow, 39, explained to Hollywood Life at the Governor’s Ball Sunday. “She just has this glow around her like her mother.”

Paltrow has been close pals with the hip-hop power couple for more than a decade. “Beyonce is doing great,” Paltrow said of the first-time mom, who welcomed Blue Ivy in New York City on January 7. “She’s just a natural at being a mom.”

As for Blue Ivy? “She’s stunning,” Paltrow gushed. “She has the most beautiful eyes.”

Though Paltrow wowed at Sunday’s 84th Annual Academy Awards in L.A. wearing a Tom Ford design, Knowles, 30, and Jay-Z, 42, were on the opposite coast dining in New York City’s West Village Saturday afternoon.

I hate it when people talk about how a baby is going to be a “star”. I know it’s just filler chatter and it doesn’t mean anything, but I feel like it’s wrong to put that on a damn baby, you know? What if Blue Ivy wants to be a teacher?

Oh, and I know CB will enjoy this – I found this interview with Gwyneth’s makeup artist for the Oscars, who is kind of delusional about how Gwyneth’s makeup situation looks so, so rough.

Gwyneth Paltrow sported an “elegantly bronzed” look on the Oscars red carpet, says her make-up artist. The actress dazzled at the 84th Annual Academy Awards in a chic caped Tom Ford gown and minimal accessories. Gwyneth worked with beauty professional Leslie Lopez to achieve her stunning make-up.

Leslie explained she wanted to create a look that “complemented the dress and was still sophisticated enough for the red carpet,” describing it as “elegantly bronzed”.

According to website Beauty High, the make-up artist started with NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser in order to give Gwyneth a “dewy base”. She then created a radiant glow with Super Orgasm Illuminator on the “apples of her cheeks”.

For the eyes, Leslie applied Alhambra Duo Eyeshadow on the eyelid for a “pop of gold colour”. She then added Maybelline’s brown liquid eyeliner in the lash line. She finished the overall look with NARS Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara and used a slick of gloss on Gwyneth’s pout.

Meanwhile, hairstylist Adir Abergel created a “sleek and modern interpretation of the low-nape ponytail.” He prepped Gwyneth’s hair with Fekkai Coiff Ironless Straightening Balm from the roots to ends of her damp hair. He then created a deep side parting using a comb and blow dried the hair without a brush, making sure to “keep the part and desired shape to the hair.”

Adir then flat ironed the hair until it was “completely smooth” and pulled the hair back into a low ponytail. The hair professional chose to allow the elastic hairbands to show as he wanted to give Gwyneth’s tresses a bit of “raw edge”.

The rubber band in her hair just killed me – that was worse than the too-orange makeup (which was caked on, as you could see when she was on stage). There’s nothing “raw edge” about wearing a rubber band in your hair at THE OSCARS. Especially with that sleek Tom Ford look – the rubber band was just tacky. Peasant-y, if you will.

Oh – people claim that Chris Martin came out to party with Goop after the Oscars. I haven’t seen one photo of him, though.
