You can soon own a piece of the Gwyneth Paltrow archive.
The Hollywood actress put some of her iconic closet pieces up for auction including red carpet looks, signed photographs, furniture — and even some Coldplay merch.
The auction, through famed Julien’s Auctions, is set to go live on March 24, but you can already browse more than 500 lots that make up the collection titled “Bold Luxury: Gwyneth Paltrow Lexicon of Style & The Archival Edit,” with a portion of proceeds donated to World Central Kitchen upon auction close.
Paltrow is auctioning off not only classic Hermès Birkins, vintage designer dresses and a number of Goop-branded items, but also some red carpet looks that fans might remember from decades past.
One of the most recognizable items is the pink Ralph & Russo one-shoulder look she wore to the 2015 Oscars.
There’s also the ombré Versace gown from the 2010 Country Music Awards and a whimsical 2003 color-block minidress from Versace similar to the one that was featured in “13 Going on 30.”
And though her iconic Ralph Lauren gown from the 1999 Academy Awards that year is still safely in her personal archive, she’s parting with the original illustrations from the designer himself.
Some included items are relics of her past family history, too.
Lot #84 is a Jennifer Myer pendant necklace with the initials A, C and M — representing her consciously uncoupled family of Apple, Chris and Moses Martin.
And, in the same vein, you can also bid on some vintage Coldplay merch, including a pair of earmuffs and promotional photographs of Martin.
Vogue Magazine spoke with Paltrow about her decision to sell some of her possessions, noting that it was spurred by a storage unit fire and sale of her Los Angeles home: “I have all this great stuff that doesn’t go anywhere. I wish I could just have a huge garage sale.”
“The thing that really appealed to me about it is that I think things have energy,” Paltrow continued. “It’s nice for those things to live on. It’s nice for things to accrue value through different provenances and different owners.”
One person we’re sure had first dibs on anything sentimental before the auction went live was her daughter, Apple.
The aspiring model recently chatted with Vogue, saying of her mom’s archive, “My mom’s wardrobe from her twenties is just about my favorite thing in the entire world,” adding that she spent last winter break “dabbling in trying everything on.”
“It makes me emotional thinking about the things in that closet,” the 21-year-old concluded.
