Online Bidding Opens: February 25, 2026
Julien's Auctions is proud to announce Bold Luxury: Gwyneth Paltrow Lexicon of Style & The Archival Edit. This landmark auction event brings together fashion, furniture, and design objects from the personal collection of Gwyneth Paltrow, presented alongside exceptional archival pieces from the world's most prestigious design houses. Online registration and bidding begin on Wednesday, February 25th, 2026.

This two-day event will showcase an unparalleled collection of haute couture, luxury interiors, and lifestyle treasures, each reflecting Paltrow's decades-long influence on contemporary style.
"I believe in the quiet beauty of objects that have lived a life before us - in the meaning that gathers over time, and in the way a story can continue when something passes into new hands. With this spirit of nostalgia and renewal, I've curated a selection of pieces from my own life, hoping they'll carry their history forward and take on new meaning for those who receive them," says Gwyneth Paltrow.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Gwyneth Paltrow's property will be donated to World Central Kitchen, a globally recognized nonprofit organization that provides fresh, nourishing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. "I'm deeply honored that a generous portion of the proceeds will benefit this organization and the brave, meaningful work they do," says Paltrow.
This marks the first Bold Luxury auction from Julien's Auctions to feature home and furniture pieces. Previously centered exclusively on fashion and celebrity-worn artifacts, the series now expands into luxury interiors, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire curated lifestyle objects alongside the one-of-a-kind fashion for which the auction house is known. The evolution underscores a growing demand for lifestyle-led collecting.
"Bold Luxury is an invitation to own the cultural markers that bridge high fashion and high-end living. Gwyneth Paltrow defines modern luxury through a lens of elegant and curated design. From the red carpet to the living room, her aesthetic is pure influence," says Julien's Co-Founder and Executive Director, Martin Nolan. "By merging couture with interiors, Julien's is meeting the demand for lifestyle-led collecting where every piece tells a story."
Since the mid-1990s, Paltrow's aesthetic has helped shape modern style. Her long-standing affinity for Valentino, Versace, John Galliano for Dior, and Giorgio Armani, paired with her own contemporary vision through the goop brand has cemented her as a present-day style icon.

The label reads “Asnieres/S Seine/Louis Vuitton/ Paris 30 Champs Elysees/ Nice 4 Jardins Public/ Lille 34 Rue Faidherbe/London 149 New Bond Street.” Louis Vuitton trunk makers apprentice and train for years before they are able to craft a trunk from start to finish.
Trunks are made by those who work in special orders, which is located in Asnieres-sur-Seine, France where the family of Louis Vuitton lived, and where a special orders factory still employs the practices and fundamental skills for these unique luxury commodities. In 1837 Louis Vuitton decided to become not just a trunk-maker but a master. Vuitton’s designs were revolutionary; he introduced canvas-covered trunks which were lighter and easier to transport. In 1896 Vuitton’s son George came up with the “LV” monogram to prevent counterfeit copies. The logo travel pieces became essential to wealthy travelers who have continued to be photographed with the house logo and Damier designs due to their status symbol.
