Carnivale of the Couture

This week, the lovely shoelover is hosting the Carnivale of the Couture with the question:

If you could exchange your life with that of any one particular fashion “celebrity” (Shoelover will use that term loosely), whose life would it be and why?

Well, anyone who knows me could predict that I would chose Gwyneth Paltrow. Style-wise I would choose her because whether it’s in her films, on the red carpet or just running around (or scooting around London - so cool!) she is just the ultimate in seemingly effortless yet well thought out chic.

For the most part, she looks fab on the red carpet. And those blunders she has made just makes me like her more for taking risks and not always being perfect.

My favorite of her movies, style-wise, is The Talented Mr. Ripley. I couldn’t find the exact picture (above she is seen on set with Matt Damon) but I love when she’s in Tom’s apartment and flicks off her glove. So chic! That movie is actually one of my favorite movies fashion-wise. It is also when I fell for Cate Blanchett.

But I digress. I would also love to be Gwyneth because she has a loving marriage with a brilliant musician and a lovely, healthy daughter. Who wouldn’t want that? (Oh yea, and the ability to be alternately fresh faced and glam at will….sigh.)
