Caroline Rush, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, said: ‘It is imperative the awards are reflective of our incredibly multifaceted industry and its brands and creatives.’

Gwyneth – who essentially retired from the film business over a decade ago – is at the centre of an ‘arts-washing’ controversy after agreeing to fly to Saudi Arabia for a controversial film festival.

The Red Sea Film Festival is said to have offered ‘talent’ a cool $1 million each to appear and has so far attracted actors Will Smith, Sharon Stone and Johnny Depp to the red carpet.

the Oscar-winner  is the latest and most surprising A-list signing, particularly as outside of her appearances as Pepper Potts in Marvel films she’s not had a leading role in a film since Mortdecai in 2015.

She said in an interview in 2020 that she had ‘hit the bullseye’ aged 26 by winning an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love and then realised that she didn’t love acting ‘all that much’. She has since made a fortune with her Goop wellness brand.

A spokesman for the festival yesterday confirmed that Paltrow is to appear ‘In Conversation’ with Jomana Al Rashid, the CEO of Arab News on Wednesday night.

The Festival in Jeddah is run by a foundation chaired by the Saudi culture minister.

Critics regard it as a part of the regime’s ‘arts-washing’ and ‘sports-washing’ in which glamorous international events are held in order to distract from human rights abuses.

Homosexuality remains a crime punishable by death in the kingdom and widespread outrage greeted the killing of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018, by agents of the Saudi government at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.
