It’s Gwyneth Paltrow again for you today. Looks like Michael Kors has chosen his muse for the season. Yes, Gwyneth, indeed. Either that, or she’s just into Michael Kors lately.

Forty-year-old Gwyneth Paltrow looked fresh, young, and bold in a purple dress as she joined the Tracy Anderson Flagship Studio opening celebration in Brentwood earlier this month.

Situated where San Vicente meets Montana, the new Los Angeles fitness studio designed by Windsor Smith occupies an 8,500-square-foot space.

From Fitness to Fashion: A Close Partnership

“I went to go and train her because she had a girl that was in her life, and she kept seeing her changing and changing and changing,” American entrepreneur Tracy Anderson told Vanity Fair about meeting Gwyneth Kate Paltrow for the first time.

“[Paltrow] was having a hard time losing the baby weight after her second baby—she was like [to the friend], ‘What are you doing? What are you doing?’ So she heard about me. So I went and trained her once, and Gwyneth was like, ‘That was the hardest thing I’ve ever done . . . I have to start filming a movie in a short amount of time; I need to get the baby weight off.’ ”

Gwyneth’s Style: Effortlessly Chic

Her sandals are from the Fall/Winter 2013 collection. They have a very simple ankle-wrap silhouette. But unlike other cuff sandals, this set comes with elastic straps and corrugated soles. This style is the perfect blend of sporty, sophisticated, and sexy.
