Her avatar of privileged white womanhood – inconceivably wealthy, hyper-fixated on things that most have never thought about (vaginal steamers, anyone?) – is a curious mixture of generational influence. These accessories all added to the drama, and as Twitter took serious delight in pointing out, she looked like nothing more or less than a woman on trial for ski-related crimes. And in today's relentlessly critical social media discourse, many find her schtick so over-the-top that they can't help but find it entertaining. There is something so absurd about Paltrow's image that it seems almost to transcend the disdain you might expect to be levelled at her for such flagrant unworldliness. Even her exceptionally trim body, at 50, is another part of the brand: recently, she has spoken about a bone-broth diet which has been widely criticised as What followed were eight frankly bizarre days of proceedings, featuring a phalanx of doctors, physicists (yes, really), and a defence attorney who repeatedly complimented Paltrow on her fashion sense and questioned her about her friendship with Taylor Swift. How to explain the sheer level of interest in the case? Before conscious uncoupling, her wellness brand Goop, or a child named Apple – never mind the public hoopla of a court case which naturally had to involve the most privileged of rich-person-accidents, a skiing collision – Gwyneth Paltrow was just a plain old movie star.

It is hilarious to think I may have helped in a tiny way. Although I am not surprised, I do feel like the team I was rooting for just won the big game. It seemed the best thing to do was screenshot everything I found, so I did. I thought that was it, and went back to watching the trial with my friends. Perhaps the problem they were having was that it was redirecting to the login page? I explained who I was, what I had found and how I had done it. I submitted my email, then my password, and I was in. Aside from the list of 10 attendees, I also discovered back and forth comments between Sanderson and trial witness Craig Ramon (user name Craig R.) whose comments seem to contradict some of their sworn testimony in the trial. But I never expected to have a hand in bringing the case to a close. I started by taking screenshots of the video images of DE102 from day one and day three, comparing them to make sure that the link was complete. I typed the link into Google and hit enter, which then redirected me to the login page for Meetup.com. The subject line read “I’m famous...” and in the body it said, “here’s what happened from my friend and eyewitness...”.

Samantha Imrie, who was juror 11, said the panel was ultimately swayed by the actress' testimony of snow science expert Dr Irving Scher.

So I think that should apply in the courtroom, as well.' I think it's important the public doesn't just think this was a win because Gwyneth is a celebrity. Scher drew stick figures to show how Sanderson and Paltrow would have been traveling that day and where their centers of gravity would have been. We did have a unanimous decision. Scher specifically studied snow science, it had a stronger opinion. She told ABC's GMA: 'He is a snow sports expert, in many different ways.

Paltrow also endorsed “stealth wealth” – clothes that are expensive but do not overtly advertise it, don’t follow TikTok trends, and rely on subtler gestures and context. Her message, especially to working mothers like her was an empowering: “That bitch will get things done.” As indeed she did in the Utah courtroom. “It’s actually been enhanced because of how she handled herself with poise.” Paltrow’s victory will probably play to fans and detractors equally, with each finding reasons to firm up their original views of the Goop merchandiser. “What we’ve been seeing is essentially Gwyneth Paltrow’s greatest hits,” says Bob Thompson, professor of media studies at Syracuse University.

The Sliding Doors actress also admitted she could "go home with someone random" after "stumbling out of a bar" and "no one would know". "You could just be at a bar having fun, dance on the table."

Sure, a glow is easier to come by when you're a wealthy megastar, but we can learn a thing or two from Gwyneth.

It's a practice that offers myriad benefits, but cosmetically it works to relax facial muscles and boost circulation - say hello to that glow. [GoopGlow Dark Spot Exfoliating Sleep Milk, £101](https://www.niche-beauty.com/en-gb/products/goop-goopglow-dark-spot-exfoliating-sleep-milk/588-022). Seen here in 2018, Gwyneth is clearly a fan of facial acupuncture. It's a trick all pros in the know are aware of and put into practice and Gwyneth clearly has the inside track. But Gwyneth's refreshing approach gives us license to relax, and to consciously loosen the grip that the prospect of grey hair has had on our self worth for so long. Yes, the beauty anxiety is real for many of us and it's no wonder. We're wary of parabens, swerve comedogenic formulas - ones that clog our pores - and go low on fragrance when it comes to products that stay on our skin for hours at a time. Again, easier to do when you live in sunny LA, but there's no denying the restorative powers of outdoor time, and time spent in nature.

Gwyneth Paltrow had looked emotional when the jury read out their verdict and left the court without commenting, later posting a message on Instagram, explaining that she fought the case because 'acquiescing to a false claim compromised my integrity'. 'The pain of trying to sue a celebrity,' he whined on the stand. After only a few hours of deliberation, jurors found that Mr Sanderson was 100 per cent responsible for the crash. Sanderson told the jury that after the crash he became 'a self-imposed recluse' who didn't really know who he was any more. When the jury unanimously found in her favour on Thursday, Paltrow was magnanimous. And that, in fighting this case on principle instead of paying up and hushing up like most celebrities probably would, she was standing up for truth and setting an example to her children, who were skiing with her when the accident happened. This was the crux of what some saw as one of the most preposterous civil trials in American history, a he said/she said, featuring no crime, a low-speed impact and an embarrassing orgy of white privilege in a winter-sports wonderland, complete with massages, slope etiquette, disappointing wines and big tips. In contrast, it was serene Gwyneth Paltrow who soon emerged as the wronged party. [Paltrow and Terry Sanderson](/news/article-11923573/Twitter-reacts-ice-cold-moment-Gwyneth-Paltrow-told-ski-crash-optometrist-wish-well.html), set in motion the chain of events that brought us to this point. It fell upon Summit County and drifted against the walls of the Third Judicial District Court in Park City, where the trial was taking place. Sanderson's lawyers suggested £2.6 million as an adequate sum to compensate for his losses following this calamitous unconscious coupling, which included difficulty in locating north when out walking and urging his girlfriend Karlene to end their relationship because he was no longer the man she first fell in love with.

Besides winning the trial, Ms Paltrow also showcased what many celebrities struggle to prove: A-listers can be — or at least seem — affable, even relatable, ...

I honestly think people would not have had the impression that she was so uppity and smug if that bone broth video hadn’t been viral on TikTok the week before trial.” And therein lies the question: why do we want our celebrities to be relatable so badly? But according to [Brandis Bradley](http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=44681X1458326&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40makeupartistatlaw&sref=https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/americas/gwyneth-paltrow-goop-ski-crash-trial-b2312045.html) – a criminal defence attorney from Kentucky whose hot takes about the trial have gone viral on TikTok – the uproar surrounding Ms Paltrow’s paleo-like diet was partly the reason why people tuned in … “She was authentic and she was herself. “I mean, they just assume and presume that celebrities are going to live that lifestyle,” he said. Still, the subtle accessories played a key role in reinforcing Ms Paltrow’s brand of quiet luxury. “And overall, she walks away from this trial with her image more than intact. “Her decision to countersue for only $1 provided a good example of how to use positive branding alongside litigation,” entertainment attorney Tre Lovell also told The Independent. That bit walking out of the courtroom and whispering, ‘I wish you well,’ in his ear was just kind of brilliant.” Besides winning the trial, Ms Paltrow also showcased what many celebrities struggle to prove: A-listers can be — or at least seem — affable, even relatable.

When the clerk of the court declared that Sanderson was to blame, she nodded in appreciation. Worldwide audiences followed the celebrity trial as if it were episodic television. 'The easy thing for my client would have been to write a check and be done with it but what does that tell her kids? Gwyneth has a history of advocating for what she believes in, this situation was no different, and she will continue to stand for what is right.’ She captioned the post: '20 years later and I still got it #justlikeridingabike' right at my shoulder-blades, and the fists and the poles were right there at the bottom of my shoulder-blades, serious, serious smack,' he added. Sanderson filed for damages in January 2019 - initially seeking $3.1million. That's what I [remembered] until I was hit.' 'Never been hit that hard.' No it's wrong that he hurt her and he wants money from her and that's why we're here. That's not what happened'. He responded: 'Thank you dear.'

She won just $1 in damages, but for Gwyneth Paltrow there was more at stake when it came to fighting a lawsuit over a skiing collision.
