The new biography of Gwyneth Paltrow, written by journalist Emmy Oddell, is set to be released on July 29, 2025. The book, titled Gwyneth: A Biography, investigates Paltrow's life and career, including her impact on various industries, particularly wellness, fashion, and beauty.

Paltrow, known for her own acting career, founded the Goop brand in 2008, initially as a newsletter with recommendations. Since then, Goop has transformed into a large business, but, according to Oddell, the company has faced challenges in achieving stability.

Oddell conducted three years of interviews with over 220 people to gather information about Paltrow. She notes that Paltrow has a clear vision for Goop, and her work in the company may be complicated by her pregnancy to the board.

The book also addresses the difficulties the company has faced, including the resignation of 18% of employees in early 2024. Despite this, Goop continues to grow, especially in the beauty and fashion segments, where Paltrow sees potential for development.

Oddell describes Paltrow as someone who can be simultaneously charming and supercilious, drawing attention to herself in public for over 30 years.
