Whether she’s serving a fluffy stack of pancakes or a Spanish tortilla, all of the meals Gwyneth Paltrow has recently documented on Instagram have one thing in common: blue and white plates. They’re not all the same vibe, though; some have delicate hand-painted florals, others have geometric patterns. No matter how you look at it, it’s clear that Paltrow is still on board with the tomato girl summer aesthetic (as are we). And like anything the lifestyle expert endorses, we’ve magically found ourselves wanting some, too. While we may not be able to promise our loved ones the same pro-chef-level breakfasts, these six styles will surely get us closer to Paltrow status.
The One That’s for Summer Pastas
Vietri Santorini Assorted Pasta Bowls, Set of 4
Tuckernuck
Mixing and matching keeps this preppy-leaning color combo from feeling stuffy. Plus you’d be surprised how many meals are suitable for a shallow bowl shape. Did we mention they’re made in Italy?
The One That’s Made in Mexico
Puebla Stoneware Dinner Plates, Set of 4
Pottery Barn
We’re loving the rustic feel of these Mexico City–made stoneware plates from Pottery Barn’s Puebla collection. They’re just $56 for a set of four (yes, you read that right), and no two are alike.
The One That Martha Stewart Approves
Martha Stewart 16-Piece Dinnerware Set
Wayfair
If there’s one person we trust more than Gwyneth Paltrow when it comes to tableware, it’s Martha Stewart. This Splatterware set, from her own collection, comes with both salad and dinner plates as well as mugs. Get it while it’s still on sale.
The One That’s Best for Special Occasions
Spode Blue Italian Dinner Plates, Set of 4
Bloomingdale's
Bring some English charm to the table with this intricately detailed earthenware set by Spode. While they may not be your everyday plates, it’s nice to have something special to pull out for dinner parties.
The One That Keeps It Simple
Cornishware Betty Breakfast Plate
Porta
The graphic rings on this breakfast plate remind us of what you’d find at a diner, but way chicer. Sold at Porta, one of our favorite shops in Brooklyn, it’s by Cornishware, a brand named after the “blue skies and white-crested waves of Cornwall.”
The One That Brings a Sweet Scallop
AERIN Garden Bouquet Salad Plates, Set of 4
Williams-Sonoma
Blue and white is all you need, but a hint of green is always welcome. From the Aerin and Williams Sonoma collab, just imagine how good these sweet scalloped plates would look at a garden party.
