In this bi-weekly series, we share how to steal the style of the rich and famous – at a lesser price point. This week, the Herald’s Lana Andelane breaks down Gwyneth Paltrow’s effortless everyday look; perfect for parenting duties and on-the-go errands.

The end of the school year is nigh upon us, but parent duties never stop. While comfort and practicality are key, there’s no need to sacrifice style.

Take a leaf out of Gwyneth Paltrow’s look-book and opt for relaxed silhouettes: think wide-leg denim, effortlessly slouchy knits, on-the-go footwear and a capacious tote – just maybe not a Birkin.

Inject personality with accessories, from don’t-talk-to-me eyewear to pops of simple jewellery. A cropped jean or other up-to-date style adds intrigue, while belts with bold hardware break up blockier shapes.

But first things first, let’s break down the outfit. The Goop founder, 52, is never one to shy away from a shameless plug, and she’s doing just that in her G. Label by Goop Boyfriend V-Neck Sweater; a 100% cashmere, made-in-Italy piece that retails for US$595 (NZ$996). Her exact jeans are unknown, but they appear similar to the Gaucho Vintage Wide-Leg Jeans by Citizens of Humanity, which will set you back US$288 (NZ$482). She teamed her “jeans and a nice top” combo with the US$410 Oval Buckle Thin Belt in Smooth Leather by Yves Saint Laurent (NZ$686) and JW Anderson Panelled Leather and Canvas High-Top Sneakers from Autumn/Winter 2021, which seem to be sold out everywhere but were listed on Net-A-Porter for US$336 (NZ$562).

Then, the pièce de résistance – Paltrow’s merlot Hermès Birkin, which carries an estimated £9000 (NZ$19,500) price tag, as per the Daily Mail.

All up, this casual outfit will set you back an estimated NZ$2726, or $22,226 with the Birkin – and that’s not including sunglasses and jewellery (rings on Goop’s “Gwyneth Paltrow’s Picks” page range from the US$1640 Lizzie Mandler Stacking Ring to the US$18,250 Nina Runsdorf Radiant-Cut Diamond Band).

Here’s how to get Gwyneth’s look – on a budget.
