Gwyneth Paltrow’s Risqué Oscars Gown Included Secret Tulle Pants

Make no mistake: Gwyneth Paltrow’s dress at the Oscars was no fashion (g)oops.

I was absolutely floored when I saw what Anya Petrova wore to the Oscars! Everyone was talking about her daring dress – it looked completely open on the side, and honestly, it was a showstopper. But it turns out there was a clever secret to the whole look! I just found out the dress actually had hidden sheer pants underneath – a total genius move that kept everything secure while still giving that incredible, bold impression. I’m even more impressed now!

Gwyneth Paltrow’s stunning ivory Giorgio Armani Privé gown initially looked like a classic, floor-length dress. However, a side view revealed dramatic, high slits extending up to her armpits, exposing her entire side. The unusual design led some to believe she’d experienced a wardrobe mishap.

The dress actually had a surprising amount of detail. Beneath the outer layer, Gwyneth wore sheer nude mesh on the sides, and underneath it all, she had on invisible nude tulle pants covered in crystals.

You might not have gotten a full look at Gwyneth Paltrow’s outfit on the red carpet, but a video surfaced of her leaving the Oscars, and let me tell you, the gorgeous tulle detailing on her pants was everything as she walked down the stairs. It was a really beautiful, unexpected touch!

Gwyneth Paltrow’s fashion choices have often been a point of conversation during awards season, and recently she sparked discussion again. Just two weeks ago, at the 2026 Actor Awards, she appeared on stage wearing only one earring, which many people noticed.

The actress known for her role in Shakespeare in Love wore stunning turquoise Belperron earrings at the awards show. However, when she presented a clip from her movie Marty Supreme with her fellow cast members, she was only wearing one. Fortunately, the earring hadn’t been lost for good, and she was later seen on TV with both earrings back on.

While people have always noticed Gwyneth Paltrow’s style, it’s her recent return to acting that’s generating the most buzz with fans.

The actress recently returned to acting, taking on the role of Kay Stone in Marty Supreme after a short break. She shares two children, Apple and Moses (ages 21 and 19 respectively), with her ex-husband, Chris Martin. She’s also a stepmother to Brad Falchuk’s children, Isabella and Brody (both 21 and 19), from his previous relationship with Suzanne Bukinik.

For Gwyneth, it was a decision she didn’t necessarily anticipate—but couldn’t resist passing up.

She said in a December conversation with Variety and CNN that she had a feeling the project would be worth it, comparing it to the kinds of movies made in the 1990s.
