Gwyneth Paltrow shares her honest thoughts about the Met Gala.
In a new article for Goshthe 53-year-old actress revealed her favorite red carpet looks and two of them were from the Met Gala: one was a yellow dress she wore in 2019 and the other was the blue satin Prada mini dress from 2012.
While looking back at her dresses, Paltrow noted that she “kind of has a love-hate relationship with the Met Ball.”
The yellow dress was from Chloe and the actress admitted she was ‘excited to work with Chloe’.
Paltrow went on to say, “I really loved Natacha [Ramsay-Levi] and what she was doing, and I love it when you get to work with a female designer. And I thought this was such a great take on the Valley of the Dolls theme.”
In 2019, the theme of the annual event was Camp: Notes on Fashion and Katy Perry famously wore a hamburger costume after wearing a chandelier over a bejeweled minidress that year.
The Iron Man actress said, “I never go to the Met Ball in a hot dog costume or anything, you know?”
“I always have to be myself first and foremost. Like, I don’t go in a costume; I go in a dress. There are two camps that go to the Met Ball: the suit or the evening dress. And I will always be an evening dress person.”
Talking about her 2019 look, she added, “So this was so light and comfortable and chiffony and dreamy, and it was like a lemon chiffon cake.”
Paltrow then went on to say that the blue satin mini dress was actually the shirt that went with a skirt.
“There was actually a big, long skirt with it – that was the shirt,” she recalls. “And I tried it on, and I liked it so much that I was like, ‘I’m not wearing the skirt.’ And Elizabeth, my stylist, said, “Are you 100 percent sure about this?” And I thought, ‘Yes, I just want to wear this as a dress.’ “
