Hot Stuff: Rihanna, Gwyneth Paltrow Cut Fine Figures at the Grammys

Chris Martin is a lucky man! The Coldplay rocker’s leading ladies — collaborator Rihanna and wife Gwyneth Paltrow — paused for a hot shot Sunday night while backstage at the Grammy Awards, showing off their slim figures and similar, slinky gowns. Rihanna worked the room in custom Giorgio Armani (she’s currently a face of the designer’s denim and underwear lines), while Paltrow wowed in a long black number with a solid gold belt.

Gwyneth Paltrow Prefers Wrinkles to Botox

She’s been quite candid about the work she’s put into maintaining her fabulous figure, and Gwyneth Paltrow is happy to get frank on the subject of aging, too. “I’ll take my wrinkles,” she admits in March’s revamped Harper’s Bazaar. “I don’t like the Botox thing.”

What she does like? In addition to her husband and children — whom she opens up about in the issue — simply food. “I eat whatever I want,” she says. “I like bread and cheese and wine, and that makes my life fun and enjoyable.” But it’s not always about indulgence; the cookbook author often goes on detoxes to restart her system, and even sells a cleanse on her goop.com website.

Perhaps that’s how she’s always fit into gorgeous designer dresses, from her glimmering Elie Saab and short Stella McCartney to her tummy-baring Emilio Pucci and the infamous Alexander McQueen, worn to the 2002 Oscars. “I loved it,” she says of the controversial gown. “But I think the hair was a mistake. I shouldn’t have had it braided.” Read more on Paltrow in the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar and at harpersbazaar.com/gwyneth.

Hollywood’s A-list can’t seem to get enough of Stella McCartney’s funky spring collection.

At Thursday’s Swarovski Crystallized Unsigned Model Search Event in London, Helena Christensen (right) added intrigue to a patterned shift with striped, blue tights and a neon-green purse. Previous supporters of the unusual frocks include Charlize Theron, who selected a one-shouldered mini for the L.A. premiere of Young Adult, Gwyneth Paltrow, who celebrated Coach’s 70th anniversary in a one-sleeved version and Nicole Kidman, who sported a burgundy column at the Country Music Awards.

Is This Woman the ‘Ultimate Celebrity’?

Apparently, the public doesn’t find just one star sexy enough. British beauty site FeelUnique.com recently ran a poll to find the world’s “Ultimate Celebrity” — a woman who has the best traits from some of the world’s most beautiful women — and created this mash-up using the most popular elements of today’s hottest stars.

According to the results, the Ultimate Celebrity has the glossy brunette locks of the Duchess of Cambridge, the eyebrows of Megan Fox, the eyes of X Factor judge Cheryl Cole and the nose of Kate Beckinsale.

For her cheekbones, voters preferred those of Keira Knightley; her lips are those of Angelina Jolie and her chin is borrowed from Gwyneth Paltrow. For the ideal chest, voters selected Kelly Brook (link slightly NSFW), a British model-actress and former Playboy pin-up.

FeelUnique.com likens the outcome to “Angelina’s long-lost sister,” though we could see her fitting in with the Kardashians, as well. Then again, the whole thing is feeling a little S1m0ne to us. Tell us: What do you think of the “Ultimate Celebrity”? Whose elements would you use to create the perfect woman?

Makeup Must-Dos Courtesy of Gwyneth Paltrow

“Believe it or not, I am terrible at doing my own makeup,” Gwyneth Paltrow admits in her latest issue of GOOP. “I’m decent at doing it for a friend, but when it comes to my own face, I never get it right.” So to help herself — and all her loyal readers — Paltrow asked her London-based makeup artist Emma Lovell to provide a how-to on daytime and nighttime makeup.

Using Paltrow’s friend Kate Skrype as a model, Lovell starts by cleaning Skrype’s face with cleansing water and cotton pads. “It’s important to take good care of your skin by cleaning and moisturizing,” Paltrow shares. “These are vital steps that yield the best final results.”

After blending moisturizer into Skrype’s skin, Lovell starts with Jemma Kidd Light As Air Foundation, layers Jemma Kidd Wrinkle Rescue Serum and Brightener under the eyes and curls Skrype’s lashes using the EF|Studio Precision Lash Curler. “This is Emma’s one ‘don’t leave the house without it’ must,” Paltrow says. “Always, always curl your lashes. As Emma says, it wakes up your face.”

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Biggest Beauty Secret? Sleep!

We know how she got that rockin’ bikini body, but how does Gwyneth Paltrow maintain her outer glow?

“For me, sleep is a major thing,” she said Saturday during an appearance on Ask Dr. Brandt on Sirius XM Radio. “I don’t always get it, and when I don’t, I look like I’ve been hit by a truck.”

Other beauty secrets Paltrow lives by include drinking lots of water, taking vitamins “religiously” and having at least one cup of coffee — with almond milk — each morning. She follows that with a glass of homemade green juice, consisting of kale and her favorite farmer’s market goodies, and eats a lean protein with veggies for lunch. But she allows herself to cheat once in a while.
“Dinner is where I really go off the rails,” she admitted, saying that when she eats out she indulges in French fries and red wine. But at home, she cooks healthfully for her family, and tries to avoid gluten and dairy.
