25 Years Later, Gwyneth Paltrow Just Rewore This Iconic Outfit
Just like she did in 1996, Gwyneth styled her suit with a delicate pale-blue shirt in a satin fabric, left nonchalantly undone at the collar, and a pair of red platform shoes.

Thanks, Gwyneth, for reminding us to think twice (and thrice) before we donate anything from our wardrobes. Should you wish to re-create her velvet-suit look for yourself—you already know it’s a winner, after all—we’ve rounded up a selection of worthy options to shop now, includ...
