Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop Criticized for Selling Bikinis for Young Girls

Child welfare organization alleges swimsuits present danger, sexualize young children

Goop and taste are pretty much synonymous.

Therefore, any and everything on the Gwyneth Paltrow-curated blog should be completely kosher. Recently, however, a child protection organization took issue with the two-piece swimsuits for young girls to wear being sold on the site.

A Melissa Odabash for Goop bikini set, retailing for $45, features "ruffles on the top and bottom, and ties on the back and sides." It certainly looks innocent enough, but…

Kidscape, a charity organization established to prevent bullying and child sexual abuse, told the Daily Mail they're concerned by the G.P.-approved suits.  "We remain very opposed to the sexualisation of children and of childhood," the organization said in a statement. "The dangers have been discussed at length, so it is a great pity that such trends continue and that they carry celebrity endorsement."

Reached by E! News, Kidscape's Claude Knight said: "We are concerned about the issue, but we have no further comment to make, as the link to a celebrity detracts from the essential debate".

Gwyneth, who is mother to Apple, 8, and Moses, 6, didn't see the problem. Her spokesperson called the criticism "absurd," adding, "Two-piece bathing suits have been worn by young girls for decades."

Truth.
