She is not carrying any extra weight in her midsection in that bikini pic. That's a very teensy bikini bottom. Her body looks amazing - no extra weight or rolls of fat - I thought she looked surprisingly healthy, not too skinny like I expected her to be. I'm 32 and I pray I could look that good again someday after my current (3rd!) pregnancy!!
Carrying extra weight in the middle... SMH!!

ITA! My first thought was what is PP smoking? She is very slender.

Sandra Bullock, Andie McDowell and Salma Hayek on the other hand, wow!

And Jennifer Lopez is already a few years above her & looks easily 💯x better than her too.

A full face lift helps.

In most pictures she has almost no makeup. She might be one of a few Hollywood stars that is ok with leaving her house without fake eyelashes.

You sound very ugly. As does the ageist POS who thinks the red shirt is “frilly” (learn what words mean, PP) and too young for her.

PPs talking about having therapy/psychological help and exercising as we age and live are right on. And hell, maybe a lower facelift. As are the women who see GP and JLo as beautiful. The rest is a lot of horseshit by woman who clearly don’t look good and don’t see the world rationally, even a little bit.

You seem irrationally angry at ppl who expressed opinions. Everyone isn’t going to think the same as you. Maybe you’re ugly and/or old and it’s making you defensive. You’re right that therapy will help.

Yes, the most beautiful and serene women use “old” as an insult, not idiots trying to tuck their FUPAs into sale-rack jeggings.

Sexist garbage is just that, it’s not “a difference of opinion.” You could not sound more pathetic if you tried, but we both know you’re going to try.

Michelle Pfeiffer looked better at 50 and wasn’t nearly as obnoxious.

This. And like her look because I think she looks her age, just good for her age. I think Jennifer Lopez and Sandra Bullock and some of the others mentioned on here also look amazing, but part of that is just being absolutely stunned at their age because they look much younger. Especially because generally when you see them, they are pretty made up, likely wearing wigs or hair pieces, usually in clothes with some degree of sculpting, etc. They still look great! But that's not achievable or inspiring for me.

But Paltrow looks like an attractive, healthy, woman in her late 40s. That is inspiring. I know some of it absolutely is due to a combo of genetics and access to very expensive procedures. But I also think some of it is just maintaining her weight and embracing her looks. She doesn't try too hard. She doesn't wear a ton of makeup, she keeps her hair natural looking (obviously an expensive bleach and tone but no extensions or anything), she wears expensive versions of pretty normal clothes, not that different than what I wear day to day. So even though I'll never get Botox because I could never afford the upkeep, I can still kind of emulate Paltrow in other ways by being selective about what I choose to work on (staying fit, taking care of my skin) versus what I don't worry about (making my skin or hair look *perfect*). I feel like she's a pretty good roll model for women in our 40s because her look is not so out of reach as to be comical. It's aspirational but also relatively practical.

This.

She is also more "accessible" in the sense that she is generally pretty open about the maintenance and upkeep required to achieve her looks. She has literally written guide books with her exact diet and fitness routine. In addition, she is now opening up about botox as well.

While I obviously do not have her resources, I too try to "eat clean" as she does and prioritize my mental and physical health. She has been very inspirational.

I can feel your blood boiling through the Internet. It’s sad. “Old” is not an insult but you sure seem to think it is, given your defensiveness. Many women age gracefully and are beautiful in old age but I’m afraid that’s not you or GP.
