Green with envy: Gwyneth in Elie Saab
Straight off the designer's Spring 2012 runway, the column dress featured cap sleeves, a seriously plunging neckline, and skinny belt.
A silver choker added extra sparkle, while sleek blonde strands and a sun-kissed glow completed Paltrow's look.

Hand us a paddle! Rare Kate Moss and Christy Turlington photographs are set to hit the auction block.
As part of its November 17 Photographs Sale, London auction house Bonhams is auctioning off rare photos of models Kate Moss and Christy Turlington, as well as Brigitte Bardot and Courtney Love.
Up for grabs is Albert Watson's nude black and white photo of Moss, which was taken on a Marrakech rooftop as part of a 1993 shoot for German Vogue.
"[It's] among the best pictures ever taken of her, and she said so as well recently," Watson reveals of the provocative pic, which is expected to take in up to £18,000 (about $28,000 U.S.).
Meanwhile, a dramatic 1990 portrait of an androgynous-looking Turlington, also by Watson, will likely go for an estimated £2,500 to £3,500 (roughly $4,000 to $5,500 U.S.).
The auction will also include a 1991 photo of Moss by the late Corinne Day, as well as a 1971 Terry O'Neill shot of Bardot.
Despite those smoldering good looks, the highlight of the sale is Robert Mapplethorpe's 1986 "Calla Lilly," which is expected to fetch between £30,000 and £50,000 (about $47,000 to $79,000 U.S.).

The Armani Hotel Milano opened on November 10 with a bang—and a slew of fashionable guests flocked to the launch, including Jessica Alba, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard, Olivia Palermo, and Bianca Brandolini D’Adda.
“I have concentrated all my efforts on delivering my personal aesthetic vision within a precisely defined ambiance of total comfort,” Armani said in a statement.
The hotel features 95 rooms and suites (from Armani Deluxe Rooms to Armani Signature and Armani Presidential Suites) and super-luxe details like showers with one-way glass (to see out, but not in), Amrani/Casa furniture, and “lifestyle managers” to cater to guests’ every need.

“This is an act of love for my city,” Armani told Women’s Wear Daily of the project.
“I wasn’t born here, but this is my city, and I remember when I arrived here as a young man in the late Fifties-early Sixties and I didn’t know how to do anything … I like the idea of being remembered not only for my clothes, and I like to bring an element of luxury that adds prestige to the city.”
