Gwyneth Paltrow in black leather Hugo Boss in Madrid: pretty or peasanty?

Sigh… don’t you sort of love it when Gwyneth Paltrow thinks outside of the (hair) box and actually does a jaunty side-part and throws away her g—damn flat-iron? She looks years younger when her hair has some body, and everything isn’t flat-ironed and middle-parted. These are photos of Goop in Madrid yesterday for the Spanish (international?) launch of Hugo Boss’s Boss Nuit Pour Femme. Gwyneth became the “face” of the fragrance earlier this year, although it seemed like the commercials and ad campaign left without making much of an impression (because they were so… tacky and peasanty?). Goop’s dress is Hugo Boss. I kind of like her in black leather – it makes her top-half look good. But I don’t get why it’s so baggy?

Earlier in the day, Goop appeared on a Spanish TV show called El Hormiguero, where she did an interview in Spanish, she played the guitar and sang AND she cooked an omelette. Of course. I guess her kids are still in LA, going to school, maybe? Gwyneth is such a superior mother, she only leaves her kids for a few days for these quick little promotional deals, then she returns home so that she can speak Spanish, play the guitar and cook an omelette for her kids.

    Her hair and makeup are much improved. I like the dress and agree she looks years younger with this hair style. Get rid of that flat iron once and for all please.

  2. dooliloo says:

    Oh good grief Goop… The dress isn’t bad yet it looks like cheap plastic to me though!.. She must have been sweaty in there no? Or Goop doesn’t sweat?

    • marie says:

      girl Goop doesn’t sweat, she glistens.. I like the straight on shots of her but she looks a little high in the top photo..

    • V4Real says:

      The top part of the dress looks like it is pressing her girls into her chest. Her face looks pretty; I like the make-up.

  3. Jenny says:

    She is too old for leather dress. It looks try hard and desperate.

    • it'sjustblanche says:

      That was my first thought. Athough in the face only, she looks younger than she has in a while.

      Still–too old for leather that close to your face.

    • sala says:

      Too old to wear a leather dress – really? I don’t understand this idea that once you have a certain birthday what you ‘can’ wear changes.

        “She is too old for leather dress”

        Some people have opinions like in the 1950’s. Goopy looks great in leather!

  4. Beth says:

    She looks like a less busted Cameron Diaz in a few of those pictures.

    • KellyinSeattle says:

      If she put on a mask she’d look like a Halloween character. Her hair looks greasy and flat…bleh.

  5. Abby says:

    she looks awesome, and I don’t even like her.

  6. Mimi says:

    Le Goop has got some good work done on her face, it’s subtle. She looks like Claire Danes here too.

  7. emmie_a says:

    I like the dress. I don’t think it looks baggy at all – it’s very form fitting & totally shows off her (very) slender frame – especially in that first pic.

  8. Train says:

    Years younger with the hair and make-up…what’s she thinking the rest of the time??

    But, did she get a tiny, little something added to her goop bubbies? They look a little more rounded out lately, and especially here. She had some heinous cutlet action going for ages…and now, not so much. Maybe her new bestie Cammy advised.

      I know — and did you notice exactly where the camera man was pointing the flash? Nothing twinkles except her brightly lit boobies!

  10. Jayna says:

    Man, her hair looks so much better styled and with a side part, instead of the usual middle part with flat, straight straggly hair.

  11. JudyK says:

    So cannot stand either Gwyneth or her mother…she looks good here. Still don’t like her.

  12. Jacq says:

    She sure could teach Kim K a lesson on how to wear leather.

  13. effy says:

    Looking goog Gwenie.

  14. lori says:

    her face has looked dramatically younger and fresher in her last couple of photo ops. I think she’s done something? Her hair looks so much nicer in a softer fashion like this too. Also I notice she’s showing off her husband a bit these days. What’s up with her these days?

  15. ladybert62 says:

    (1) Why is her hair two different colors?

    (2) She needs a decent cut and style – her hair is fine and needs to be controlled.

    (3) That dress is tacky.

  16. Omnibabe says:

    Her stylist must really hate her, as nothing she wears ever fits right.

  17. Grace says:

    Halle or Milla J could have worked the heck out of that dress.

    Gwyneth bores me. It would have been better if she had more of her ma’s spark(and looks).

  18. zinnia says:

    She is so beautiful! I love her! Awesome!
    😀

    GO Gwen! She’s a strong woman.
    😀

  20. Ellecee says:

    Her skin is absolutely beautiful. Not big into her GOOP-y lifestyle, but she’s doing something in the skincare department right. Wonder if it’s a $1,000 cream or all those cleanses she does??

  21. call_in says:

    I’m living in Spain right now and I saw them covering this on the entertainment news. Gwynie actually speaks Spanish really well. It’s been really hard for me to drop the English-speakers’ accent.

  22. Vesper says:

    The dress has potential, but NOT with those shoes or purse. What happened to her sense of style? She used to always look amazing.

  23. Camille (TheOriginal) says:

    Don’t care for her at all these days (but a long, long time ago I used to love her), but she looks good here.

  24. cookiemonster says:

    She needs to eat a sandwich soon!! Overall she looks ok, but too skinny. Make up is great, hair too, but the dress is lacking of that certain je ne sais qoui.

  25. Suzie says:

    That dress is a fashion mistake for a woman her age. A leather jacket, perhaps, for private casual wear, but a leather dress for a public business occasion just looks awkward and out of place on a female over 30.

    • Mazunte says:

      With all due respect, that is such a shocking and ridiculously uptight opinion!!! Really!? I am outraged!

      I am 40, and I have my closet full of “young-looking” leathers (tight jackets of all colors, skirts and skinny pants). I absolutely love that dress, I think it would look great on me, and I see myself wearing a dress like this in 10 years. All my funky clothes look as good on me as they would look on a 28 years old woman.

      What is a woman supposed to look like at 40? Is she supposed to dress in conservative and boring suits and blouses???

      And… “a leather dress for a public business occasion just looks awkward and out of place on a female over 30.” It looks great on her! Who cares how old she is? Give me a break!!!

  26. Mazunte says:

    She looks amazing. I love the dress and the makeup.

    I haven’t felt remotely this positive about GOOP since Shakespeare in Love. That dress is awesome.
