She gave us a nice “View from the Top” of her legs.

Gwyneth Paltrow ditched her pants and opted for a racy red leather ensemble as she posed on the cover of Cultured magazine’s Cult 100 issue.

The Oscar winner, 51, put her long legs on full display in a pair of red high-waisted bikini bottoms from Araks ($140), paired with a matching leather biker jacket from Bottega Veneta worth $7,600.

She also wore a Quatre Classique necklace and Boucheron earrings.

The Goop founder went for a natural makeup look, with minimal glamor with a pink-nude lip and bronze eyeshadow. Paltrow complimented her clean-girl makeup by wearing her long blonde waves around her face.

Elsewhere in the photoshoot, the mother-of-two wore a bubblegum pink sleeveless Alaïa dress, a shimmering Miu Miu mini with a plunging neckline and a sheer sparkly Celine skirt with blue Fleur du Mal underwear peeking through.

“What an honor to be one of the first covers of @cultured_mag’s CULT 100 Issue,” she wrote on Instagram on Tuesday along with a photo of her cover.

During her interview, Paltrow discussed her desire to “return to herself” in an age where social media seems to be taking center stage.

“Not in a narcissistic way, but everyone gets such a barrage of incoming stuff all the time that I think people lose connection with themselves,” she said. “There’s a lot of numbing in the culture.”

She continued, “People don’t want to feel pain or discomfort, which is unfortunately part of being human. I feel like everyone is being pulled along by the culture right now – all the ‘shoulds’. I wish for a return to a truly robust inner life.”

Paltrow is the latest celebrity to join the no-pants trend, with Kendall Jenner leading the way when she wore nothing but stockings and ski pants in November 2022.

That same month, her sister Kylie Jenner attended a Loewe fashion show wearing underwear from the luxury brand ($490 $343).

Last November, reality stars Ariana Madix, Paige DeSorbo, Erin Lichy and Ciara Miller all dropped their bottoms at BravoCon 2023.

And Kristin Stewart tried out the sassy trend when she stepped out in cable-knit cashmere underwear from Brunello Cucinelli paired with stilettos during an outing in New York City in March.
