Gwyneth Paltrow is one of the few women who has the ability to make bright colors look as chic as black. Perhaps it's because she knows how to balance her loud hues with moody accessories. Soak in the actress's latest look in Milan. She continues her stylish streak in a vivid orange pleated Derek Lam dress, patent black slingback sandals, and a black patent Tod's bag.
Given the soft details — the ruffles and the pleats — you would expect the color of the dress to be peach or dusty rose. Instead, it comes at you in an unexpectedly bold way. My favorite detail is the off-center ruffles; they do a good job of making the girly trend less obnoxious. This look makes a big statement but maintains an air of seriousness. I say, if you're going to go color, go bright like Gwyn.

I hate the shoes.
1I hate the shoes too! But love, love, love the dress -- swings beautifully.
2are you kidding? those sandals are so hot
3i think she just looks better and better each time i see her!
4I love those shoes, and the dress! She looks great!
5The dress is gorgeous but the shoes...
6Hate the shoes.
7either gwyn has learned how to style herself over the years - since she's usually managed to do a great job, or she's got a great stylist dressing her. regardless of what the answer is, i'm almost always thrilled to see what she's wearing and usually a bit jealous as well. i love the color of this dress, and on a lot of blondes, i think that they would end up looking washed out - yet she's got this one making herself look radiant.
8The dress is fantastic!
9The dress is lovely, the shoes aren't bad, but they don't go together. I'da sported the dress with a pump, or even a peep toed pump, but not a peep bootie.
Then again I don't have any love for a peep toed bootie of any sort, so I may be (hell, I AM) biased.
10I'm sorry guys...Gwen looks ridiculous. I usually LOVE her style, but I think this look is a little too young for her. It might look great on say, Leighton from Gossip Girls...I'm just not feelin this dress on her.
11Gwyn*
12Lovely!
13typically she looks boring, but here she looks great, from the neck to the ankles. yay!
14She looks so great! Dress, shoes, hair, make-up... Everything!
15She looks so gorgeous here.
16Love the shoes, but maybe they're not the best fit for the dress.
17Love the dress, but I'm not sure those shoes look the best with it.
Gwyneth always looks fab.
18halloween pumkin walking. i like the shoes with an otherwise dumpy style dress. the color and patent shoes really compliment each other(in a halloween sort of way-and it is the season, so yeah, thumbs up!)
19i love this. a lot.
20this is crazyy amazing. iloveit.
21i looove the dress
22i looove the dress
23hate the shoes...
24hate her, love the dress, but I think the shoes are too severe for the already loud dress - I would totally wear this, though, because I love bright colors...
