Sometimes, getting ready for a fancy party can take a long time. Once you’ve decided on what you’re going to wear, if you choose to wear make-up, then there’s the whole rigmarole of putting concealer, blusher and eyeliner on your face. But last night, guests arriving at Gwyneth Paltrow’s probably took less time to get ready, as the Goop hosted a dinner party for her celebrity friends last night - with a twist, as the guests were requested not to wear the contents of their make-up bag.
The actress apparently asked her mates - which included Demi Moore and daughter Rumer Willis, Kate Hudson, Rachel Zoe and more - to ditch beauty products for a '#goopglow' dinner. And they all looked radiant.
ET reports that Gwyneth wore a nude Oscar de la Renta dress for the evening while serving her guests king salmon steaks, chicken with roast grapes, long-cooked kale and sweet potato fries. Meanwhile, dessert was mini citrus cakes, with Ketel One botanical spritz cocktails to drink. (Sounds amazing - where was our invite?)
Her guests obviously enjoyed Gwyneth being hostess with the mostess, as they posted glowing reviews on social media. ‘What an incredible night makeup-free with these extraordinary women,’ Demi wrote on Instagram, posting a photo with Gwyneth and Keanu Reeves' girlfriend Alexandra Grant. ‘I feel so nourished and full of joy. Thank YOU both for sharing your light, love and wisdom! Beauty is more than what you see, it is what you feel. So grateful to be included in such a powerful, memorable and meaningful evening!’
