She is one of the world’s most glamorous actresses, known for dazzling on the red carpet, but Gwyneth Paltrow chose to sport a decidedly understated look for her birthday.

 

With the Oscar-winner turning 44 yesterday, she took to social media to share a refreshing ‘no makeup selfie’ with her 2.6million-strong legion of fans.

 

“No makeup for my 44th birthday, embracing my past and future. Thank you for the Insta-love,” wrote the mum-of-two.

It’s not hard to see why the Iron Man star chose to mark her birthday in such a manner; she did, after all, recently say that ageing made her feel ‘more beautiful’.

 

In an interview with People earlier this year, the mum-of-two said: “I wish more women had told me that at 40, you sort of stop worrying about what other people think about you, and you come into yourself in the most phenomenal way.“

“I feel more beautiful now than I did 10 years ago, or 20 years ago. I think even though physically I don’t look like I did when I was 25, I feel beautiful because I feel like myself,” she added.

 

More gushing about forties, please!
