You know you've really made it when you can refer to yourself on the red carpet. Having an archive of iconic looks that are still relevant today is a status few A-listers can claim. And three times, like Gwyneth Paltrow? That's what makes them true icons. At last night's premiere of "Brother's Sun" in Los Angeles, Goop founder Gwyneth donned a monotone red look by Kong Tri, reminiscent of the cherry red suit she wore to the 1996 VMAs. Paltrow's red top and maxi skirt confirm that the red color trend that swept 2023 is not going away anytime soon.

For her first red carpet debut of 2024, this multi-hyphenate shined in all red while supporting her husband Brad Falchuk's new film, "Brother's Sun." She wore a scoop-neck red long sleeve top with a red wool maxi skirt matching the Con Try Spring/Summer 2024 collection. Her accessory was a skinny belt that matched her skirt. Her long blonde hair was styled down and accessorized with gold earrings. For makeup, Paltrow wore nude eyes and natural lips for a no-makeup illusion.

Her ensemble felt like a casual homage to the velvet two-piece suit by Tom Ford for Gucci's Fall/Winter 1996 collection, made famous at the 1996 VMAs. During his tenure, Ford famously reinvigorated Gucci with sexy womenswear designs that featured plenty of eye-catching cutouts and horsebit hardware.

In 2021, Paltrow referenced her iconic red suit at Gucci's centennial show in Los Angeles while wearing a near-perfect replica created by Gucci's former creative director, Alessandro Michele. While not a direct callback, Paltrow's Con Try ensemble recalls her affinity for statement shades. While Paltrow typically doesn't stray from a neutral palette and minimalist silhouette (she was a leading force behind last year's quiet luxury movement), it's safe to assume that cherry red is one of the actress's all-time favorite shades.

If you like the cherry red trend for 2023, don't fret. Darker shades of red like maroon and merlot are easy to style with minimalist color palettes like navy and forest green. If you like the statement of ruby red and haven't yet tried the trendy shade, opt for a pop of red with accessories, such as a red hair bow, ballet flats, or a clutch bag in your daily rotation.

If you're feeling inspired by Paltrow's look, you can own her 1996 Tom Ford suit. Here are a few other red items to consider, including maxi skirts, suits, and velvety red tops.
