Gwyneth Paltrow wore a pantsuit that looked identical to one she wore in 1996, but it wasn't actually the same

• Gwyneth Paltrow attended a Gucci show this week in a red velvet pantsuit.
• It looked identical to one she wore in the '90s, but was actually a replica made specially for her.

Gwyneth Paltrow is the latest celebrity to recycle styles from her wardrobe for a red-carpet event.

The actress and Goop founder attended the Gucci Love Parade fashion show in California on Tuesday and was photographed at the event in a vibrant pantsuit. It had a long-sleeved blazer and wide-legged pants, both made from red velvet. The suit also had satin lining from top to bottom.

If the outfit looks familiar to you, that's because Paltrow previously wore another red pantsuit in 1996.

At the time, Paltrow wore the outfit to the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards.

The 25-year-old version looked almost identical to the one Paltrow wore this week. Both times, she wore a long-sleeved button-up underneath it, with the top buttons undone to mirror the blazer's V neckline. She also added a dainty necklace and wore her hair in an updo for both looks.

The only major change was her shoes. In 1996, she wore velvet pumps. But this year, she swapped them for a pair of red sandals.

But as Paltrow revealed on Instagram, the suit wasn't exactly the same. Instead, it was a new outfit crafted to look just like her old one.

"Beautiful tailoring never goes out of style," Paltrow wrote. "I loved wearing @alessandro_michele @gucci creation based on the one I borrowed in 1996 by the master @tomford. A special night #gucciloveparade."

Of course, Paltrow isn't the only celebrity to repeat an outfit on the red carpet.

Jane Fonda recently wore a 25-year-old suit at the 2021 Golden Globes, and Cate Blanchett recycled a sparkling gown in 2020. Even Kate Middleton is a fan of rewearing looks.

That being said, Paltrow is seemingly one of the only stars to have the same outfit created for her twice.
