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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
