While the most daring body-con LBDs we're familiar with usually feature a plunging neckline, Gwyneth Paltrow [1]'s is more extraordinary than that. The businesswoman and actress paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel at his studio and talked all about her wedding [2], for which she wore a Valentino Couture gown [3] followed by a more surprising Stella McCartney romper.
Speaking of surprising, our jaws were practically on the floor when Gwyneth appeared from behind the curtain in this velvet Christopher Kane dress with two crystal buckles strapped across the chest. She accessorized with deep teal pumps, also in velvet, and some layered necklaces, just to play up the sparkle. Here, Gwyneth proves the holiday dress has a shelf life way beyond Christmas and New Year's. While her own design retails at $1,195 [4], we found plenty of similar options to impress the onlookers.
