Gwyneth Paltrow delivered a masterclass in unexpected glamour at the MTV Awards held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on September 4, 1996, trading traditional gowns for a rich, crimson velvet suit. It was a bold, tailored statement that echoed a nascent shift towards more daring red-carpet dressing.
Paltrow’s choice of a two-piece suit in lush, deep red velvet immediately commanded attention. The blazer, with its sharp lapels, and the coordinating trousers offered a sophisticated yet undeniably sensual silhouette, a striking departure from typical celebrity attire of the era. Beneath the rich velvet, she wore a pale blue button-down shirt, unbuttoned just enough to reveal a relaxed, almost nonchalant attitude.
