Victorious Gwyneth Paltrow is seen before boarding private jet home to LA trends now
A triumphant Gwyneth Paltrow is heading home after winning her four-year legal fight against retired optometrist Terry Sanderson over a 2016 ski crash.
Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show the Goop boss, 50, at a private jet terminal in Salt Lake City, Utah, accompanied by her assistant and bodyguard who were with her throughout the eight-day trial.
Paltrow had holed up in a luxury rented home in Park City’s exclusive Colony at White Pine Canyon community but left the property shortly after 11am local time - heading for the airport.
The actress, whose stealth-luxe outfits made headlines during the trial, opted for a low-key outfit for her journey home: a cream sweatshirt teamed with light blue jeans and white sneakers.

Paltrow’s victorious return home comes less than 24 hours after jurors in Park City dramatically declared her not to be at fault for the 2016 crash that Sanderson says left him with four broken ribs and a permanent brain injury.
In the moments after the jury returned their verdict siding with her, Paltrow was seen walking up to Sanderson and telling him: ‘I wish you well.’
Moments later, she released a statement via her Instagram stories that read: ‘I felt that acquiescing to a false claim compromised my integrity.
‘I am pleased with the outcome and I appreciate all of the hard work of Judge Holmberg and the jury, and I appreciate their thoughtfulness in handling this case.’
Outside court, her lawyer Stephen Owens said: ‘We’re pleased with the outcome and appreciate the judge and jury’s thoughtful handling of the case. Gwyneth has a history of advocating for what she believes in, this situation was no different, and she will continue to stand for what is right.’
On Thursday the jury found that Sanderson, 76, was '100 per cent' to blame for the crash at the upmarket Utah ski resort seven years ago after taking just two hours and 20 minutes to reach a verdict.
Paltrow, the 50-year-old founder of the luxury wellness brand Goop, is worth $200million and won an Oscar for her role in Shakespeare in Love.
Her adversary, Sanderson, 76, is a twice-divorced retired optometrist from Utah, whose net worth is unknown.

Sanderson will now be required to hand over Paltrow a symbolic $1 in damages - and pay his and Gwyneth's legal fees, which could run into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The actress-turned-lifestyle influencer appeared nervous Thursday as the verdict was read out and sat with her hands together on her desk.
When the clerk of the court declared that Sanderson was to blame, she nodded in appreciation. As the judge thanked the jury she nodded her head in appreciation at them again.
As Paltrow left court she walked over and touched Sanderson's shoulder and said 'I wish you well'. He responded: 'Thank you dear.'
The decision comes after eight days of live-streamed courtroom testimony that drew worldwide audiences and became a pop culture fixation.
The actress smiled and waved at photographers as she made her way out of court but refused to comment.
