Also up for auction is her Versace ombré gown worn to the 2010 CMA Awards. A more sober black suede dress by Christian Dior that she wore in 1999 is also up for sale.

On the auction site, you’ll also find a number of very personal pieces, such as an 18-karat yellow gold ring with “Gwyneth” in cursive. Or a 14-karat yellow gold necklace featuring pendants engraved with the letters A and M, the initials of Paltrow’s two children, Apple and Moses.
But why part with all these symbolic pieces? “I have all this great stuff that doesn’t go anywhere. I wish I could just have a huge garage sale,” Paltrow explained to Vogue. She decided to hold the auction after selling her Los Angeles home and losing some of her possessions to a fire in one of her storage units. The actor added that she also appreciates giving objects a second life. “It’s nice for those things to live on,” she said. “It’s nice for things to accrue value through different provenances and different owners.”
