Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘Mortdecai’ L.A. Premiere Dress

The Dress: A steel blue gown from Lanvin’s spring 2015 collection

The Event: At Wednesday’s L.A. premiere of Mortdecai, which also saw co-stars Johnny Depp, Ewan McGregor and Olivia Munn on the carpet.

Why We Dig: A quick glance from the front would have suggested a simple column gown, but much to our delight, there was more than meets the eye. When viewed from various angles, the dress featured thigh-high slits from the side, a perfectly crafted racer back, and a waist-defining wide leather belt that added a layer of dynamic detailing and prevented a flash of sideboob. The actress paired her outfit with light blue python sandals by Lanvin and David Webb jewels. As usual, our favorite Goop-er never fails to surprise on the carpet.
