Gwyneth Paltrow Just Made Long, Baggy Shorts Look Elegant
Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to experimenting with trends, from velvet suits to sweat suits. Sure, she typically likes to keep it classic and sophisticated on the red carpet, but when she's attending more casual events, she lets likes to let loose—but in her signature way.
Photographed at Jimmy Kimmel Live! in Los Angeles, Paltrow tried the trend that was all over the runway at Copenhagen Fashion Week: long, baggy shorts. In fact, when I interviewed Ganni Creative Director Ditte Reffstrup, she told me that long shorts were the spring 2020 trend she's most excited to try. Paltrow made them look polished by choosing trouser-style shorts and pairing them with an office-appropriate blouse. To add a designer spin, she also wore Dior logo-printed high-top sneakers. Scroll down to see how Paltrow wore the long-shorts trend, and shop it for yourself.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
