Having announced her split from Chris Martin last night, Gwyneth Paltrow is no doubt about to embark on one of those post break-up 'I'm fabulous and I know it' phases.

 

That said, she's had more than her fair share of impressive outfits over the years. First there was the pink, spaghetti-strap Ralph Lauren gown that she wore to collect her Oscar in 1999, then there was the ever-so-slightly surreal McQueen gothic look she sported for the Vanity Fair party in 2002.

 

Yes, she might now be all slick micro minis, trouser suits and ironed hair, but there are more than a few variations on this theme over Gwynnie’s career. Enjoy a look back at some of her finest red carpet moments, from the oversized tees of her youth all the way up to today’s slick, sharp tuxes.
