Gwyneth Paltrow Gives Golden Explanation as To Why Brad Pitt Always Looks Like His Girlfriends

Brad Pitt has spent years being photographed with partners whose style seems to echo his own, and the internet never seems to get tired of pointing it out.

That pattern came up again when Gwyneth Paltrow was asked about it on Instagram, after people noticed how often Pitt and his girlfriends appear to coordinate without even trying. Her answer was quick, funny, and very on-brand for the kind of celebrity chatter that follows both of them.

And once you see the post, it is hard not to wonder if the matching is accidental or part of the joke.
