Gwyneth Paltrow was 'tense' and anxious on the stand on Friday, a body language expert has claimed after analyzing the actress's performance in her trial over a ski slope crash.

Paltrow, 50, claims that she was crashed into by Terry Sanderson, a 76-year-old retired ophthalmologist.

Sanderson claims Paltrow hit her, causing broken ribs and brain damage, and is seeking $300,000 in damages. 

The trial in Park City, Utah began on Tuesday and is expected to last until the end of next week.

On Monday the court will hear from Paltrow's two children with her ex-husband, Coldplay's Chris Martin - Apple and Moses. Her husband Brad Falchuk will also testify. All three were skiing with Paltrow when the accident happened in February 2016.

Here body language expert Judi James analyzes Paltrow's behavior.

'Wary' glances around the courtroom 

James told DailyMail.com that the Goop founder chose her outfit carefully, to avoid being flashy.

'Gwyneth arrived in the courtroom dressed in her most demure and dour outfit yet: a mid-length black dress with heavy black boots,' James noted. 

She said that she looked somewhat nervous as she entered the court.

'Navigating her way to her seat she threw some wary-looking glances around the room, acknowledging her audience with a brief eye-scan and what looked like the faintest of smiles,' she said.

Settling down to business 

James said Paltrow was initially unsure of herself, but as she took her seat next to her lawyers became visibly more relaxed and confident.

'Her lower lip appeared to tremble or pucker slightly at one point, in a gesture of what looked like anxiety - but once she was seated, and after a much quicker than usual smoothing of her now softly-waved hair, she spread her folder out in front of her, licking the tip of her finger to turn the pages in a professional and authoritative-looking manner,' James said.
