In Montecito, there’s a new chill blowing from Gwyneth Paltrow towards Meghan Markle as they enter the wellness industry. Gwyneth, founder of the Goop brand worth almost £200million, seemingly complimented Meghan’s venture, hinting at a rivalry. However, it’s not the first time Gwyneth’s true intentions have been questioned, such as her court battle victory where she whispered insincere wishes.
As lifestyle influencers, Gwyneth has a headstart with her Goop brand offering eccentric wellness products to a wealthy market. In contrast, Meghan plans to launch her As Ever brand with organic products, facing setbacks like a name clash with a Chinese brand. While Gwyneth embraces her elitist approach, Meghan’s attempts at relatability have backfired, leading some to see her as out of touch with reality.
The duo’s connections in Montecito paint a similar story: Gwyneth, residing high in the hills, seemingly looks down on Meghan, who recently moved to the neighborhood with Prince Harry. Vanity Fair’s recent covers further highlight the divide, with Gwyneth praised as an ultimate influencer while Meghan faced harsh criticism in a damning expose. Their showbiz pals also reflect a contrast, with Gwyneth mingling effortlessly among Hollywood elite while Meghan’s connections seem more distant.
In terms of screen success, Gwyneth has a decorated acting career while Meghan’s credits are limited to Suits and minor film appearances. As Gwyneth makes a comeback in Marty Supreme, Meghan’s post-royal career seems uncertain. The parallels and differences between these two lifestyle icons set the stage for a potential clash in the wellness industry.
