Gwyneth Paltrow recently returned to acting after a five-year break, starring alongside Timothee Chalamet in Marty Supreme. However, it was her fashion choice that truly captured attention at The Actor Awards, where the 53-year-old actress wore a strikingly revealing gown with a deep V neckline.
A Daring Fashion Statement
Paltrow's full-skirted black lace gown for Sunday's event was crafted by Givenchy's Sarah Burton, a designer famously favoured by the Princess of Wales during her time at Alexander McQueen. While this may have been her most daringly low-cut gown in recent years, Paltrow is no stranger to this bold style. In fact, the actress and wellness mogul has embraced the plunge neckline so frequently that it has become something of a signature look for her.
Paltrow's History with Plunge Necklines
Her affinity for V-cut designs dates back to 2008, when she wore a Stella McCartney jumpsuit at the Hollywood premiere of Iron Man. The following year, she donned a V-cut navy satin Chanel gown at the Cannes Film Festival. Paltrow has revisited this style six times since, but none of her previous dresses were quite as revealing as the Givenchy creation she showcased on Sunday.
Other Stars on the Red Carpet
Another actress making a bold statement was Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, 23, who wore a cream silk Christian Cowan dress-cum-negligee with a similarly plunging neckline. However, not all guests opted for such daring designs.
Contrasting Styles
The Substance star Demi Moore, 63, paired her new short hairstyle with a black strapless Schiaparelli couture gown featuring a modest convex neckline. Oscar-nominated Jessie Buckley chose a black strapless Balenciaga gown with a bodice in a similar convex style, while Emma Stone appeared in a glittering lilac Louis Vuitton slip dress.
With such a split between plunging and more conservative necklines, the gowns on display brought new meaning to the phrase 'when they go low, we go high', highlighting the diverse fashion choices at this prestigious event.
