Appearances matter. Particularly courtroom appearances - as illustrated this week by Gwyneth Paltrow, who is on trial in Utah for allegedly crashing into a retired optometrist in a ski-slope hit-and-run in 2016.

And when it comes to courtroom fashion, Paltrow's disarming play has made her look chic and wealthy, but intentionally gentle, writes Caroline Leaper. With creamy knitwear as a central feature, it's been a stellar example of soft power.

That sentimental 'neck mess' of gold chains around Paltrow's neck was significant too - and one of a number of necklace moments this week, proving that they do so much more than add a bit of zhuzh to your outfit.
From Harriet Harman's 'chain of justice' to Prue Leith's rainbow strands, statement necklaces are here to stay. As for what statement they’re making, read on...

Wishing you a stylish weekend,
