50-year-old Gwyneth Paltrow would surely have preferred to spend the last few days promoting her new brightening eye cream, or her heartwarming collaboration with British fashion designer Amelia Wickstead, both of whom she just launched under her wellness empire GOOP. Instead, for the second week the actress has

The Oscar and The Good Life priestess is appearing in civil court hearings in Utah, and leave it to Paltrow to channel chic minimalism even in the midst of a high-profile hearing.

The ambassador of Birch and Aegina candles, and everything that makes, to her taste, good for the vagina, is being sued by a 76-year-old man who claims that she crashed into him violently and then fled the scene in a skiing accident in 2016, leaving him injured on the ground (with broken ribs and permanent brain damage, according to him ).
Paltrow, for her part, filed a counterclaim, for which she demands a symbolic compensation of $1 or more, in which it is claimed that he was the one who collided with her in the first place, as well as a denial of the "escape" claim.
But beyond the legal drama, it's more than anything the actress-entrepreneur's exquisite outfits, combined with her somewhat smug attitude, that have gone viral over the past week.
From discussion to discussion Paltrow presents an impressively purposeful display of implied wealth, free of symbols and flashy colors/prints, or in short: "Old Money" aesthetics at its best.

We won't know right?
But the courtroom can be a hotbed of high fashion, almost like the runway or the red carpet, while within its walls the defendants (especially when it comes to Illisters) try to walk the fine line of looking stylish but not superficial, reliable but not detached, and most importantly not to appear ostentatious.
Therefore, Paltrow chooses to show up for debates and defend her good name in restrained blocks, but still looks super collected and stylish.

Yes, she's barely made up, until she's a little pale, and dark roots are starting to stick out of her hair, but all of these are part of a calculated aesthetic move that contributes to the legal "effort", or at least to the image she insists on maintaining.
At the start of her trial last week, the "Shakespeare in Love" star entered the courtroom smiling while wearing a cream-colored cardigan from her brand, G. Label by Goop (which retails for just under $600), which she teamed with khaki pants, and accessorized with gold link jewelry from the brand Foundrae and a brown bag which does not scream "super brand".
When she left the discussion, she added a layer in the form of a green wool coat by THE ROW, for which you will have to part with about $5,400.

In the two days that followed, Paltrow kept the neutral color palette, but it was evident that she had stepped up in terms of styling and boldness.
First she went for a gray tailored performance, but on her looser side, which included a tank top, loose pants, a double-breasted blazer, into which she tucked the ends of her hair, and two pendant necklaces of different lengths.
The next day she was already spotted extra chic, in a black polo shirt and a fluttering navy skirt, which she combined with opaque black tights and chunky Prada ankle boots (worth $1,450).

At the beginning of the week, and the last day of the debates so far, Paltrow maintained the same conservative line but with a kicking twist.
The star wore a white button-up under a tight black cardigan that was partially buttoned, along with a flowing maxi skirt that exposed the tips of her Prada ankle boots, which of course added an edgy flavor to the understated look.
In the days when social networks sanctify the "look at me" culture, which holds us all hostage to flashy trends and logomania from all sides, there is magic in the idea that innate style cannot be bought, and if anything then softened luxury is the key, and Paltrow is the embodiment of it.
