Gwyneth Paltrow Summer Essentials

Not only does Gwyneth Paltrow know how to turn heads in her itsy bitsy bikinis, but she’s a pro when it comes to knowing what to bring with her to the beach, too. The actress shares all of her summer favorites — a mix of old-school picks and new travel-ready finds — in her most recent GOOP newsletter.

From classically tailored shorts for men and women from Orlebar Brown (“They are both wearable for everyday and can just as easily be used as swimsuits,” she says), to versatile Turkish towels and sun-proof swimwear, she fills readers in on all of her warm-weather essentials.

As for summer beauty products, she’s all about miracle multi-tasking finds that can easily be packed in a beach tote or carry-on, like Adara, a travel-size pure organic coconut oil that works as a gentle makeup remover, moisturizer and hair conditioning treatment.

Will You Take Courteney Cox’s Beauty Advice?

Courteney Cox knows that the best hair dye can be picked up at a drugstore for $9 — but some products, like Edward Bess eye shadow, are worth the splurge. In the spirit of sharing her favorite tips and tricks, the actress is writing a new blog for xoJane.com, the latest creation of former Jane and Sassy founding editor Jane Pratt, where she’ll post at least twice a month, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. (Estranged husband David Arquette created a T-shirt for the site earlier this year.) As the designated home editor for the site, her column focuses on her lifestyle essentials, such as Clairol Natural Instincts Brass-Free For Brunette ($8.99), her favorite hair treatment for “dark-haired girls who don’t like red hues coming through.” She also revealed her Edward Bess products-of-choice, Ultra-Luminous Eye Shadow ($30) and Sheer Satin Cream Compact ($60), in her first post. But she’s not the first celeb style icon who’s taken her know-how to the blogosphere. Gwyneth Paltrow updates fans with lifestyle advice, workout plans and recipes on her online newsletter, GOOP.com, and former reality star Lauren Conrad launched thebeautydepartment.com in April, where she dishes out details on the latest in hair and makeup. With three celebrity beauties offering star-worthy beauty advice, tell us: Who’s your go-to? –Alison Schwartz

Weekend Winner: Gwyneth Paltrow in Itty-Bitty Bikinis

Guess some GOOP — plus a little Glee — does a body good! Gwyneth Paltrow proudly flaunted her fabulous bikini body in some Melissa Odabash suits over the weekend while vacationing near the island of Sardinia with her children, Apple and Moses. The 38-year-old actress spent Friday on a yacht with her kiddies (plus her godfather, Steven Spielberg) wearing a strapless red bikini top and matching bottoms. Later, she slipped into a sexy striped number for a walk on the beach. Then Saturday, Paltrow got swim-ready yet again, re-wearing her red bikini bottoms and pairing them with a strappy red top. The actress, who admits her body wasn’t always so bikini-ready, recently shared her diet and exercise tips with Self — and said her routine really worked. “I saw a shot of myself in Barbados and was, like, all my hard work paid off,” she shared at the time. “I’m 38, I have two kids, and I feel good.” Tell us: Which of Paltrow’s bikinis was your favorite?

Gwyneth Paltrow Shares Her Of-the-Moment Fashion Faves

4AM Finds Alice + Olivia

Gwyneth Paltrow chats about the things she loves in GOOP each week, whether she’s dishing on food, friends or fashion. But this week, she’s doubling her newsletter fun, teaming up with Alicie + Olivia‘s Stacey Bendet to talk summer style in Bendet’s 4AM Finds, a weekly newsflash full of the designer’s obsessions in art, fashion and more. So what do the ladies lust for this week? Paltrow calls a Baume & Mercier watch “bold and not too daring,” to which Bendet agrees. “I’m a Swatch girl, but this is gorgeous,” she says. A playful “Frida” dress from Alice + Olivia is “perfect for a summer party,” the actress gushes. A Comme des Garçons candle is Paltrow’s “current home scent,” while Olio Lusso oil “makes skin look and smell so good.” (“If there’s any chance of my skin glowing like yours I’m going to buy every bottle of this organic bliss,” Bendet jokes.) And of course, there’s Paltrow’s new cookbook, My Father’s Daughter, which Bendet describes as “a brilliant blend of story and substance.” Check out more of the ladies’ picks in today’s 4AM Finds; 10 percent of proceeds from sales of the featured Alice + Olivia items will benefit Bent on Learning, an organization that brings yoga to kids in New York City’s public schools.

Gwyneth Paltrow Shares Her Spring Style Picks

Gwyneth Paltrow's Beauty Tips
Norman Scott/StarTraks

Spring has sprung — heck, Memorial Day is about a week away — so needless to say, we’re excited for some fresh new warm-weather wardrobe pieces for spring. Then yesterday, like magic, Gwyneth Paltrow‘s GOOP newsletter landed in our inbox, presenting a whole host of options from Net-a-Porter.com for the balmy months ahead. Paltrow chose three base items — a long Stella McCartney jersey dress ($785), an Etoile Isabel Marant twill jacket and an Etoile Isabel Marant silk chiffon frock — and gave suggestions to dress up each look with items like a Chloe clutch ($1295) or Proenza Schouler satchel ($1595), or keep it casual by adding a Splendid tank ($44), Aubin & Wills cardigan ($150) or other low-key basics. While the looks were stunning — Paltrow even modeled them herself! — there was one drawback: the items the actress picked added up to nearly $13,000! So over on the GOOP Facebook page, Paltrow and her team remade some of their spring outfits using pieces like a long Zara jersey dress ($189), Uniqlo blazer (about $50) and J. Crew Edie bag ($238). That’s more like it! To shop all of Paltrow’s picks, check out GOOP’s Facebook page and Net-a-Porter.com. –Kate Hogan
