Gwyneth Paltrow attracted significant attention at the 98th Academy Awards after appearing in a striking ivory gown by Giorgio Armani Privé. While the strapless dress initially appeared understated, side slits revealed sheer detailing, creating a bold visual effect on the red carpet.

In a behind-the-scenes video shared on her Goop channel, Paltrow disclosed that she had been sewn into the dress to achieve its precise fit. As a result, she noted she would be unable to leave the outfit during the event, highlighting the practical challenges associated with such fashion choices.
The actress also returned to presenting duties, awarding the Best Casting prize during the ceremony. Her recent return to acting in Marty Supreme marked a notable moment in her career, with Paltrow previously acknowledging initial nerves and crediting director Josh Safdie for helping rebuild her confidence on set.
