Gwyneth Paltrow said of the Calvin Klein dress in 2013, “okay dress but not Oscars material. I chose it because I wanted to disappear that year”
Photo: Steve Granitz/WireImage Amid the coronavirus pandemic, some celebrities have stepped up and tried to do their part. A few efforts have, well, fallen short — think of the much-maligned video of a bunch of famous people lip-syncing “Imagine” to raise good vibes — while others have been more substantial.
CNN reports that Paltrow is auctioning off the Calvin Klein dress she wore to the Academy Awards in 2000 — the year after she won the Oscar for Shakespeare in Love — as part of the #AllInChallenge. Paltrow said in an Instagram video over the weekend that the dress “holds great sentimental value” and is “very end of the ’90s, which is back in style now so I thought it would be a good one to donate.
But her most recent statement is somewhat at odds with a 2013 blog post on Goop.com, where she listed it as one of her two least favorite Oscars looks, calling it an “okay dress but not Oscars material. I chose it because I wanted to disappear that year.” Some Instagram commenters pointed this out. One wrote, “In her post she says the dress is sentimental. I think it’s interesting how she wants to donate a dress she’s not fond of.
On the other hand, maybe Paltrow’s being really thoughtful. It’s a dress she didn’t particularly want to leave the house wearing, well-suited for a situation where many people are being urged not to leave their homes. Also, one could argue that the dress now holds unique cultural significance, having found itself at the center of yet another minor Goop-related scandal.
