Gwyneth Paltrow gave fans a glimpse into her romantic past with a tour of her fashion archives.
Paltrow took viewers through her archival closet in a video on Goop’s YouTube channel. She pulled recent items from her brand’s label as well as pieces from her ’90s wardrobe, including an iconic look she wore while dating Brad Pitt.
At the beginning of the video. the actor pulled a white shirt dress off the shelves, which she wore to the premiere of “The Pallbearer” with Pitt in 1996.
“It’s a 90s Calvin Klein dress, I think I wore it to a premiere of something when I was dating Brad Pitt,” she described the piece. “Very 90s, you know, sort of a shirt dress. It’s loose, it’s relaxed, it feels very 90s ‘I don’t care.'”
Paltrow and Pitt started dating in 1994 and even rocked matching haircuts at one point in their relationship. The couple got engaged in December 1996, but eventually separated in 1997.
Reflecting on their breakup in a January 2015 interview with Howard Stern, Paltrow said, “I was such a kid — I was 22 when we met… You can’t make that decision. when you are 22 years old. … I wasn’t ready and he was too good for me.
Pitt was married to Jennifer Anniston from 2000 to 2005 and Angelina Jolie from 2014 to 2019, while Paltrow was married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin from 2003 to 2016 before marrying current husband Brad Falchuk in 2018.
Despite splitting more than two decades ago, Paltrow and Pitt still fondly remember their time together.
During an October 2022 interview with ET Canada, the “Shakespeare in Love” star opened up about her enduring admiration for her ex and how their friendship has evolved over time.
“When we first broke up, we weren’t friends for a while, then we kind of found our way back, probably 18 or 19 years ago, something like that, and then we stayed. in touch over the years.” said Paltrow. “I love him. He’s an amazing person, and he’s a great entrepreneur, and so creative, and such a great person. I really love him. I’m a huge fan.”
Paltrow also hosted Pitt in a June 2022 interview for her Goop website about her new clothing line. During their conversation, the couple dwelt on details from the past, including their relationship with their late father, Bruce Paltrow, who died in 2002.
“I’ll never forget when we were engaged and he came to me one day, his eyes full of tears, and he was like, ‘You know, I never really understood what they meant when they were saying you were gaining a son. Like, I’m gaining a son,” Paltrow said before asking Pitt, “What impact did he have on you? Why did you love him, even though we didn’t not married, unfortunately?
After exchanging “I love you,” Pitt said what he loved most about his dad was that he encouraged her to be independent and have a voice. The actor added, “He paved the way for you to be who you are. And I think that’s so important to parenting, you know?”
“So the child is free to discover who he is and what he likes and dislikes,” he said. “You were so free in your conversations. And witty. And smart. And funny as f—.”
