Gwyneth Paltrow's Coach Ads Drop (PHOTOS)

Gwyneth Paltrow's long-awaited Coach ads have dropped and they're as bland classic Americana as expected.

The Goopster poses in a gray turtleneck, clutching one of the brand's handbags and a pair of its shades. Take a good look, because Women's Wear Daily reports that the campaign -- meant to fete the vernissage of Coach's flagship in London -- won't be released to the U.S. audience, instead breaking in international issues of Vogue, Vanity Fair, InStyle and Harper's Bazaar.

Gwyneth previously told the fashion newspaper, "I'll never forget getting my first Coach bag," and Coach's executive creative director Reed Krakoff called her "a natural choice," for the label's newest brand ambassador.

Paltrow was first rumored to be tapped for the gig in April, after Page Six spotted her leaving Coach's headquarters in Manhattan.

Take a look.

Coach purses are the plankton of the purse food chain.

The bag's not bad. And this article was a real education. Now Gwyneth will always be The Goopster to me.

I like the bag and I like the ad. But I still go for the logo bag, it's just more fun.

Gwyneth has the style of a toad! But Huffington, LOVES her for her outspoken anti-conservative views! The Queen of England & Catherine, the Dutchess of Cambridge on the other hand have more style in their little pinkies than Adrianna Huffington & the Huffington Post "style" writers do in their Whole bodies!!!!!!! But, since they are the "enemy" of Huffington, they are ridiculed & torn into pieces......But, let's all worship the Oscar look alike dress that Gwyneth wore to the Academy Awards.....puke!

I liked Coach back in the day when they were understated leather bags without all the flash. I still have a couple of my vintage Coach bags. Now, I'll buy any well-made classic handbag. Brands are not that big a deal.

More phony since she would never stoop so low to carry a Coach bag unless the price to shill for them was right.

Today's Coach brand products are just more cheaply made junk from China with a tremendous mark-up

Aren't most big-name bags made in China these days, with "tremendous marks ups"? The whole game's a mug's game - there is NOTHING that makes a bit of leather actually worth all that money.

The Daily Mail has a slightly different version of this story below, including noting that poor Gwynnie has to work hard to keep her figure, including during her recent family vacation on the Mediterranean, where she was spotted working out on her treadmill ON HER YACHT. Tough life, Gwynnie.
