In between stints as an Oscar-winning actress she has carved out a niche with her virtuous vegan lifestyle brand, but it seems Gwyneth Paltrow is keen to add yet another string to her bow - by branching into fashion.

The health guru and mother-of-two has announced that her company, Goop, would be rolling out its very first clothing line in September after almost a year of speculation.

Speaking at a discussion with the Hudson Union Society in New York on Tuesday, she said: 'I've been working on apparel - apparel is next. In September, we're going to launch apparel, and it's very exciting,' according to Racked.

While there's been talk of a fashion collection since July last year, when Goop's CEO first announced that it was in the pipeline, this is the first mention of a date.

Goop - which launched eight years ago - has also recently launched its own publishing imprint and skincare line, while Gwyneth has just released her third cook book, It's All Easy: Delicious Weekday Recipes for the Super-Busy Home Cook.

The 43-year-old actress, who will reprise her role as Pepper Potts in Captain America: Civil War, later this month, has come under fire in the past for promoting her über-strict detox regimes, eschewing everything from sugar to alcohol, caffeine, gluten and dairy.

In 2013, Gwyneth - who is is mother of 11-year-old daughter Apple and son Moses, nine, with her ex-husband Chris Martin - was widely criticised after claiming she had banned her children from eating pasta and bread.

The following year, she faced ridicule once again for including a £3,100, gold-plated 'Easy Health Angel Juicer' in her 2014 Christmas gift guide.

But while not everyone will agree with her culinary habits, most fans will agree the star rarely puts a foot wrong in the fashion stakes.

She regularly tops red carpet best-dressed lists and has previously dipped her toe in the world of fashion, taking part in several sartorial collaborations over the years - all eco-friendly, of course.

In 2014 she created an 'environmentally conscious' line with American label Amour Vert made up of t-shirts and tops made from silk, wood-pulp fibers, and 'low-impact' dyes, and two years before that she created a pair of cashmere sweaters with British ethical fashion label Chinti and Parker.

Gwyneth Paltrow looked like a beautiful eggplant at the launch of her gluten-free organic ready meals with famous trainer, Tracy Anderson. The duo teamed up after Gwyneth got insecure for being called, "long butt." (Define:LONG BUTT-When someone lacks buttocks, it seems at though they have a really long back with no rear in sight).

She started training with Tracy Anderson and the rest is history! We see she got great results, the dress doesn't lie and all we see are those long toned legs!

The actress wore a purple Victoria Beckham mini dress. The exact dress is currently sold out at Net-a-Porter but if you click (right) you can shop the VB collection!

The purple dress is fun and playful, especially the way Gwyn mixed it up with her orange neon strapped 'Barbara' sandals from Michael Kors!

Take a look at our edit below for our fab eggplant options!

Gwyneth recently announced she was taking a break from acting to concentrate on Goop. Explaining that the company was her '24/7 focus right now,' she added: 'We took some investment last year, so as soon as we had other people's money, I realised I really better focus on this completely.

'I'll return to acting probably, but probably not right now.' 

Gwyneth won't be the first celebrity to turn their hand to fashion design. Victoria Beckham, Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Jessica Parker have all launched their own successful lines in recent years.

She said: 'We're very, very hard at work at Goop. We are doing a lot. As my CEO always [asks] me, "Please, can we stop doing so much."'
