Gwyneth Paltrow is back with another outfit photo dump, and her latest Instagram post is giving fans plenty of summer style inspiration.
On Aug. 5, the Marty Supreme actress shared a slideshow titled “48 hours in Paris,” documenting her quick trip to the French capital with a series of chic looks.
In the first photo, the mom of two wore white culotte jeans, a rising trend that has been embraced by celebrities of all ages. She paired the wide-leg bottoms with a white cardigan layered over a black top and finished the look with a slim black belt.

Gwyneth Paltrow Wears Culottes In New Instagram Post
In the final photo of the slideshow, the Oscar winner opted for a black mini skirt styled with a pinstripe blouse featuring a ribbon necktie and a pair of glasses. She captioned that specific look, “Best summer walking outfit in Paris, appropriate for anything.”
Fans were quick to praise the 53-year-old’s effortless style in the comments.
“I love your style,” one person wrote.
Another said, “I’m obsessed with how you style everything!”
Someone else wrote, “Forever the most stylish!”
Another added, “Always dressed so wonderfully.”
It’s not the first time Paltrow has embraced a chic pair of culottes, with the actress frequently incorporating the versatile silhouette into her polished wardrobe.
One of our favorite culotte looks came from Paltrow during New York Fashion Week, when she attended the Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2026 Runway Show in New York City.
The Goop founder opted for a polished, office-inspired ensemble, pairing a cozy crewneck sweater layered over a crisp collared button-down shirt with tailored gray culottes and black slingback heels. She completed the sophisticated look with black-rimmed sunglasses, proving culottes can look just as elevated as traditional trousers.

Gwyneth Paltrow Calls Culottes Her ‘Spring Essential’
To recreate her NYFW outfit for less, try a gray sweatshirt from Uniqlo paired with the brand’s Smart Culottes for a similarly timeless aesthetic.
Scrolling through Instagram, fans can see that Gwyneth has been embracing culottes for some time. In an April 2025 post, she showed off an ultra-baggy cream pair, calling the look a “spring essential.”
While capri pants and jorts have recently become popular among younger fashion crowds, Gwyneth may be making a case for culottes as another stylish way to embrace the cropped, wide-leg trend.
