StylX.net: Gwyneth Paltrow : “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

This week the world renowned variety magazine People named Gwyneth Paltrow the most beautiful woman on earth rejoining the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry and Beyonce. Then, apocalypse surged on the blogosphere and in newspapers all around the world. Severe, read mean, editorials deplored this selection and even listed reasons why she should not top this list. We, at StylX.net, are a little bit concerned by the hatred aimed towards the 40-year-old Oscar winner and cookbook author. Sure, her extraordinary discipline does not sound really festive (avoiding carbs, go hungry or get sick from her fitness regimen) but the efforts and sacrifices she is making to look good and be healthy are undeniable. We also think that whoever would have been chosen is always vulnerable to these kinds of comments as beauty and style are far from an unanimous science.

Moreover, one thing we can agree on is certainly her irreproachable love of fashion and style icon status (she even documents her outings and stores her prized possessions for daughter Apple) . Funny fact : She was named world's best-dressed women by People magazine last September, talk about obsession ha! That said, her signature minimalism advised by her loyal stylist Elizabeth Saltzman have helped the Goop.com director stand out more than once on red carpets and media appearances. The number of times she wowed us with a surprising twist or bold choice are countless and that makes Paltrow a refreshing fashion trendsetter. However, she tends to forget that we do not have her financial freedom allowing us to splurge on a 795$ Valentino studded iPad case. Anyways, we are not taken aback by this news and would have been as happy with Kerry Washington (2nd) or Amanda Seyfried (3rd). If you have to remember one thing from Gwyneth, we hope it is her capability of accepting the fact that she is aging. As a matter of fact, she seems to embrace it and is happy to announce that she feels much more comfortable now compared to her 20s. Hate her or love her she is here to stay and make you talk about her!
