Gwenyth Paltrow has always had a knack for reinvention. Her latest issue of Vanity Fair-styled by George Cortina- is a testament to just that. A return to cinematic glamour.
For her debut, which sparks Paltrow’s homecoming to Hollywood discourse, Cortina strips back the noise and delivers pure, distilled luxury.It’s timeless yet modern, seductive yet refined—an aesthetic that serves as the perfect visual counterpart to an interview that spans motherhood, her wellness empire MAHA, pop culture musings, and, yes, making out with Timothée Chalamet.
Each look is a study in contrasts: sharp tailoring and delicate lace, structured corsets and easy draping, mid-century elegance infused with a subtle irreverence. Whether she’s reclining on a sunlit terrace in a sculptural leather mini, draped in a slinky black dress against the glow of chandeliers, or descending a grand staircase in lingerie-inflected eveningwear, Paltrow radiates unbothered cool—the kind that comes with knowing exactly who you are.
Cortina’s approach leans into power dressing, but not in the corporate sense—this is power in poise, in the art of dressing to seduce, or to command attention without asking for it.
