Lifestyle brand founder Gwyneth Paltrow has turned 50 – and celebrated in a unique way. The Marvel star marked her special day by painting herself a shimmer gold and posing naked, stunning her social media following with her flawless look.

In one image posted to Instagram, the Goop founder looked sultry as she held her head in her hand. She posed with her body turned away from the camera, pressing against a block, popping her leg in front of the white furnishing.

People rushed to wish Paltrow a happy birthday.

“I mean!!!!! BEYOND! ? Happiest Birthday ever to such a beautiful soul,” one said.

Another added: “Happy birthday!!! Hotter than ever!”

A third said: “GORGEOUS. HAPPIEST AND HEALTHIEST MOTHER F’ing 50th GP!!”

One said the best was yet to come, while another said: Happy Birthday, beautiful light-filled one! You shine! May the next 50 be even more spectacular!

“Sending so much love – from this side and the other side!”

Sitting down with Vogue ahead of the momentous day, the 50-year-old said she felt great about her new age and era.

“I remember turning 30 and feeling like there was so much pressure to be married and have a baby. I was not in a serious relationship when I turned 30, and I remember just thinking, I’m disappointing my parents.

“I haven’t married my stockbroker or a lawyer, and I’m this weird artist,” she said, adding in her 20s she felt like such a kid.

But, she said, she did freak out when she turned 40 because she’d placed an importance on her image and relevancy, as that impacted her livelihood. She said she remembered going to a doctor and getting Botox, but felt embarrassed and cliche.

“And then turning 50, it’s been a lot smoother than I thought. For the last year or so leading up to it, I have been ruminating on these different chapters in a woman’s life,” she said. “What does it mean to go through perimenopause and then later menopause? And why is that a taboo, and why are we put out to pasture?” She said she’s happy with the people her children are, and was in a fantastic relationship. The Thanks for Sharing star said her work, even though it was full of challenges, was incredibly rewarding. She added that she was grateful that in her mid-20s she implemented things such as yoga and healthier food, and now that has set her up for feeling good now.
