Gwyneth Paltrow was all over Venice this weekend for the film festival’s premiere of Contagion, that Soderbergh movie where she dies like ten minutes into the film. Matt Damon and his wife were there too, but this is the Gwyneth-centric post, because there’s lots to talk about it.

Let’s do fashion first. For both the Contagion photo call and premiere, Gwyneth wore Prada. The orange dress (for the photo call) is kind of meh to me – I don’t like Goop in orange, it makes her skin look weird. I also find the faux-cap sleeves, with the weird draping, rather ugly. It makes her look like she has hunched shoulders, which isn’t good for Gwyneth’s naturally slouchy posture. That being said, her body looks great. I think her legs look particularly sexy, and I usually don’t use the word “sexy” for Dame Goop.

The Prada gown for the premiere was this weird condom dress with the overly-large back bow, all in this pale pink-nude color. It could have washed Gwyneth out, but I kind of like the color on her, but I’m meh on the design. Maybe if it didn’t have the mock turtle? Maybe if the darting on the bodice was done better?

I will give Goop credit for some things though – her hair and face look better than they’ve looked in months. She’s not puffy and waxy, her skin looks healthy and natural. And her blonde looks good too – bitch got her roots done for the film festival, and she’s softened her blonde with some rich-looking low and highlights.
