Gwyneth Paltrow turned 50 and the actress celebrated the landmark in a different way. Paltrow posed nude for a glamorous shoot in celebration of her 50th birthday putting a whole new spin on what it means to wear your birthday dress. The Goop founder has once again proven that age is just a number by modelling nothing but gold paint, a modern homage to the 1964 James Bond movie Goldfinger.
Both Paltrow and her lifestyle brand shared stunning images on social media on her birthday in honour of her embarking on the next decade of her life. Gwyneth gushed about the hot photoshoot noting, “All I know is that they’re painting me gold and that I have to be n*ked.” The Oscar winner had half of her n*ked body painted gold before stepping in front of the camera. She strategically posed with hands, arms, and legs covering her chest and nether regions, ensuring the shots wouldn’t get flagged on social media.
The actress explained, “I feel so good turning 50, and this is about expressing that sense of energy and optimism that I’m experiencing. It’s more about the female gaze and just a sense of fun.” Ahead of turning 50, she penned a candid essay about her past and her hopes for her future that was published on Goop last Thursday.
Paltrow reflected on the regrets and mistakes that still keep her up at night, saying that she hopes she has ‘learned from them all.’ “I have hurt people, never intentionally, but I have done so just the same. I have let people down by not being who they needed me to be. I have betrayed myself to keep the peace,” she wrote. “I have crossed lines, the thoughts of which sometimes rip me from sleep and suspend me into the hollowness of shame for a long, dark night.”
Paltrow admitted that she used to have a hard time standing up for herself and setting boundaries in both her personal life and career because she was afraid of upsetting people. She had appeared in a number of movies at a young age and won an Academy Award for her breakout performance in Shakespeare in Love in 1999. The actress also had high-profile romances with actors Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt, whom she broke up with just a few months after they got engaged in 1996.
