Gearing up for a day of filming in New York, Gwyneth Paltrow emerged in a typically elegant outfit that was undeniably timeless yet stepped in fashion's new favourite trends.
Wearing a navy blouse with an pretty tie-neck detail, Paltrow's look was off to an ageless start. Leaning into the sophisticated feel of her chic navy blouse, Paltrow neatly tucked her top into a calf-grazing pleated skirt—carrying on the polished vibe of her look whilst nodding to the new pleated skirt trend that's been permeating style crowds since the start of the season.
Keeping things comfortable yet aptly smart, the actor completed her outfit with a pair of glossy leather loafers. In a deep black shade, Paltrow's leather shoes kept in tune with her smart casual ensemble, whilst adhering to winter's most classic flat shoe trend.

With a sleek leather exterior that repels light drops of rain, and a polished silhouette that provides an interesting alternative to standard black boots, leather loafers are the shoe of choice for fashion people from October until March. Once the reserve of your favourite history teacher, leather loafers have hit the mainstream over the past few seasons, becoming a key offering of designer labels including Prada, Gucci and Miu Miu, and settling into style crowds around the world.
Whilst the pillars of Paltrow's look were anti-trend, her clever skirt-and-shoe pairing brought her look straight into the new season.
