We know it when we see it: A red carpet fashion choice so statement-making, it’s bound to become a new Hollywood trend. Such is the case with Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest sartorial stunner, an Antonio Berardi dress with sheer side panels that she wore to the Iron Man 3 premiere in L.A. last night.
Whether you love it or hate it, there is no denying that Paltrow has the bod to pull it off. Our feeling is if you’ve got it, flaunt it—and boy, oh, boy does this 40 year old bombshell (and PEOPLE’s 2013 Most Beautiful Woman honoree) have it. Paltrow rocked this ensemble with confidence, but upon closer examination of the pictures, we wonder: Was she ever worried about flashing the camera? Something tells us that sitting down in this dress was tricky at best.

Gwyneth Paltrow is the poster girl for wholesome and holistic approaches to food, skincare, fitness—well, just about everything. So imagine our surprise to find out that in the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the celeb reveals that she’s tried Botox—and that she regrets doing it.
Gwyneth Paltrow and her trainer Tracy Anderson
Actress-turned-singer-turned-lifestyle blogger (we love goop!) Gwyneth Paltrow is adding yet another enterprise to her successful and varied empire: hair. Next month, Paltrow is set to open a new blow dry bar in Los Angeles, a joint venture between her, her longtime personal trainer Tracy Anderson, and celebrity stylist David Babaii. The salon will be named the David Babaii Blow Dry Bar and will be located near Anderson’s new fitness studio in Brentwood, which is set to open April 4th.
Paltrow’s announcement comes shortly after the success of fellow celeb Rachel Zoe’s popular DreamDry in New York, which booked 1,000 (!) appointments in the first week.
Do any of you get blowouts? Would you visit her salon?

When she turned 41, model Lauren Hutton was fired from Revlon after ten years as the face of the brand. That was back in 1984. Three decades later, it appears that more mature ladies have made some major strides when it comes to landing (and keeping) contracts for coveted ad campaigns. The latest NARS Spring 2013 ad campaign features 42-year-old British model Stella Tennant. After watching the brand’s behind-the-scenes video, I came to the conclusion that the brunette’s amazing looks inadvertently prove that Aaliyah was right when she told us that age ain’t nothing but a number.
But what’s really interesting is that Tennant isn’t the only beauty campaign star over the age of 25. Lately, I’ve noticed that more and more middle-aged women are becoming the spokeswomen for big beauty brands—and it’s a trend I’m fully on board with.

We’re big fans of this week’s guest blogger, Natalie Higdon. Not only is she a Tennessee resident and a connoisseur of all things Memphis; she’s also a contributor to the Birchbox magazine! (Don’t miss her stellar article on 5 Surprising Facts About SPF). This week, she interviews a hot new singer, reveals her favorite two-in-one products, and schools us on how to trim our own bangs.
Margot Tenenbaum, from Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums, is one of my favorite chain-smoking, compulsive lying characters ever. She’s also my No. 1 pick for my Halloween costume this year. While I look for a full-length faux fur coat, check out my makeup picks to get her look (cigarettes and wooden finger not included):

When it comes to my Hollywood hair crushes, Gwyneth Paltrow ranks right up there. In fact, in 1999, I dyed my blonde hair super-dark brown after seeing a picture of the actress with brunette strands for her role in Bounce. (Side note: While it obviously looked amazing on Gwynnie, it was a terrible choice for me and I have never ventured brown since.) After more than a decade of following her hair transformations, I am always awed by her gorgeous choices, but she’s never shocked me with her style—until now.
