Gwyneth Paltrow Wears Lime-Green Valentino Dress to the Brand’s Fall/Winter 2026 Show

Gwyneth Paltrow claimed a front-row seat at Valentino’s Fall/Winter 2026–2027 runway show in Rome, held at the historic Palazzo Barberini. The actress arrived in a lime-green dress from the brand. The presentation, led by creative director Alessandro Michele, marked the house’s first ready-to-wear show since the passing of founder Valentino Garavani earlier this year.

Styled by Elizabeth Saltzman, the actress’s look came from Michele’s Valentino Pre-Fall collection. The babydoll-style gown featured voluminous bishop sleeves with cuffed wrists and subtle tonal polka-dot patterns across the fabric. The design nodded to the mod era of the 1960s.

She styled the dress with white floral-print tights that first appeared in the Valentino Pre-Fall 2026 lookbook. Gwyneth carried a black handbag and completed the outfit with pale teal pointed-toe heels with delicate ankle straps.

Her blonde hair was parted in the middle, and makeup was kept light, highlighting a natural glow and soft nude lips. She accessorized with a silver crystal-encrusted statement necklace and a few rings on her fingers.

Paltrow’s appearance at the Valentino new fall 2026 show highlighted her longstanding connection with the house, stemming from her friendship with the late founder Valentino Garavani, who has dressed her for many red carpet appearances over the years. Notably, she wore a Pierpaolo Piccioli design for her 2018 wedding to Brad Falchuk.
