Gwyneth Paltrow - “Vogue” May 2008

Gwyneth Paltrow brings a superhero flair to her high glam look on the May 2008 cover of Vogue.

“I simplify everything,” Ms. Paltrow tells Vogue on juggling her kids, career and husband Chris Martin.

According to FWD, the 35-year-old actress is wearing a gold, tissue-lame, embroidered Pre-Fall 2008 dress by Oscar de la Renta and Robert Lee Morris cuffs.

Gwyn is resting her elbow on an Iron Man mask. The superhero flick flies in theaters nationwide on May 2.

Zoe: Totally agree with you. Very photoshopped!

When Good Work Goes Bad - Good description for this cover.

I think they put her head on someone else’s body. It does not look like her.

I thought Sarah Jessica Parker was on the May cover?

Nice typo, Jared.

I can’t decide if I like this or not. I need to see the full editorial.

Shes gorgeous but too much airbrushing!!!! She’s beautiful without it…..

“gorgeous”?

that photo have been photoshopped so much it looks nothing like her.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Excellent photoshopping. She needs all the help she can get.

Wow, this is one ugly cover.

fashionista @ 04/14/2008 at 4:18 pm

Ugh. Anna Wintour must be having a good laugh.

I am really surprised they gave her the cover for Iron Man. Her part is pretty small.

Her face looks weird. Too much airbrushing?

STILL A BUTTAFACE! LLOL!

Best looking tranny ever!

Almost as bad as the last Kidman cover.

whitedove @ 04/14/2008 at 4:26 pm

I am so sick of her and Kate Hudson. They are so boring!

Robert Downey, Jr. in a wig would have been prettier!

This is so 90s. Gwyneth’s heyday is over. Can’t believe Vogue is still putting her on their covers.

Love it! Tranny-tastic!

I can’t believe Gwyneth would want this picture of her on the maganize cover. YUCK. Her kids probably wouldn’t even recognize her.

This is not her best cover. She looks surprised.

I have never found her to be pretty -she is homely to me

oh god…I will not be looking forward to my May issue of Vogue arriving in the mail. I HATE her. Why does Anna Wintour keep putting her on the cover? She has **** style now and is doing **** films. And whenever I read about what the general public has to say about her, it is usually negative. There are some die hard fans who actually believe that she is nice and pretty but the general sentiment is that she is self-absorbed, elitist, a *****, and a tranny. Stop putting her on magazine covers! As if she is going to have anything interesting to say. Her last vogue article was about kids, marriage, and juggling work. BORING!

Me thinks Vogue needs new blood *cough* Anna *cough* and seriously she got the cover for Iron Man? lol

She should not have gotten a cover for Iron Man. That is soooo wrong!

Too much PS or is she botoxing now?

photoshopping is and has been a huge part of media for a while now. GET OVER IT. i’m sure if one of the haters actually gets to be on a magazine cover, chances of that happening are super slim to none, others will be quick to point out PHOTOSHOP THIS TRANNY MESS THAT.

Captain Obvious @ 04/14/2008 at 5:15 pm

Duh! Everyone knows photoshopping is part of the media but there is such a thing as going overboard. Yup, she looks a tranny mess!

I think Anna must have a soft spot for limp-haired blondes with fading careers.

lol at the idiots who say why she got the cover. SHE”S A STAR. Oscar winner, fashion icon, married to Chris Martin, Madonna’s best friend,
She looks great. I love her

they definitely went to town with the air brushing. she looks thinner here than on the Harper’s cover which they air brushed the hell out.

This should be a good interview; Gwyneth is notorious for putting her foot in her mouth.

adore dior @ 04/14/2008 at 5:31 pm

The dress is beautiful but I’m also disappointed they chose Gwyneth. She hasn’t been a style icon for a long time. The Vogue covers of late are becoming very generic.

She needs to reinvent herself asap because she’s getting Ultra BORINGGGG and Ugly.

Is this really US Vogue and not the UK?

prettypretty @ 04/14/2008 at 5:46 pm

I do not think anyone they put on the cover of Vogue now is really a major star. Those days are gone.

green fairy @ 04/14/2008 at 5:52 pm

The gown is beautiful. The hair looks like she just got out of bed.

ugh i hate it. why do they insist on putting celebrities on the cover? almost every other edition of vogue mostly feature models. seriously, what place does gwyneth paltrow has in the fashion world?
and what’s with all the writings on the covers? they look so cheap, like a tabloid or something. look at italian vogue’s cover a few months baack, a gorgeous model with nothing but ‘icon’ written on it.
anna wintour has got to go.

I dont like the facial expression. But otherwise I like the cover.

The colours are all wrong for her.

TRIUMPH OF THE FUG @ 04/14/2008 at 6:03 pm

FUGRIFFIC!

The mask on her head would have been realistic.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz @ 04/14/2008 at 6:10 pm

boring…………………………………..

MS. PARKER @ 04/14/2008 at 6:15 pm

****! I SO WANTED TO SEE SJP ON THIS COVER. DAMN YOU, ANNA!

I don’t like it. She looks uncomfortable.

Why is Fishsticks still on all these covers and treated like she’s still relevant? She’s over. No one liked her because of her snooty attitude and stupid pretentious comments she makes in the press. In the 90s when she was letting her fame get to her head she went in this one interview going on about how she is an icon and everyone copies her style and she invented long hair. And her mother was telling the press she is the new Grace Kelly. Please Gwyneth you are and never was Grace Kelly get over yourself.

She used all her family and business connections to make it in hollywood. Seh doesn’t deserve anything And she sure as hell shouldn’t be on the cover of Vogue when she’s not relevant. And all the great parts are going to Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet now. Sorry Fishsticks!

I guess Emily Blunt was busy?

Would love to see Julianne Moore on next month’s cover.

They could have did a better job on the photoshop. It looks like her head is falling off her neck.

The mask is to make up for her iron deficiency.

What I find funny is that you all hate her, yet she always gets a lot of comments, why do you people feel that you need to write the same old boring comments like “STILL THE SAME OLD BUTTAFACE!”. Grow up!

It looks nothing like her.

she looks like ashlee simpson. doesn’t she?

Regina, she gets a lot of comments because people hate her THAT much. She always has more negative comments than positive ones and people have the right to share their opinion. I also posted on this thread that I dislike her and wish she was not on the cover of Vogue. I don’t actually hate a lot of celebrities but there is just something about Gwyneth that rubs me the wrong way and I am entitled to say so just as you have the right to share your opinion.

Vogue has GOT TO STOP with making the stars look like ALIENS with their crazy ass photoshopping!!! PLEASE!!!!!

She is beautiful and classy.

Right on target Lola #65…this chick bugs me to no end…and she so obviously idolizes Madonna…in fact I recall hearing Madonna ditched her for a while because she felt GP was copying her…funny how she cut her hair recently to Madonna length. This picture makes her look 13.. I always thought she resembled Howdy Doody. GP dressed in Couture is all wrong. She can not come close to pulling it off. She has very little elegance. By the way, the recent hospitalization was due to a miscarriage from what I hear through the grapevine here in Hollywood. Maybe the macro diet isn’t so sound after all. Gone are the days when real models graced covers.

i didn’t know she still has a career.

People here hate her because she dumped their precious Brad Pitt at one point. There is also a lot of ugly racism going on. She is too white, too blonde, and her eyes are too blue for them. Some people (guess who?..yes right, women who are not white) don’t like that, and try to tear her down in a rather ugly manner. It is pure envy.

She is gorgeous but I wish magazines wouldn’t photoshop so much. It makes everyone look artificial. She doesn’t need it

She looks like a bobble head. What a terrible cover.

When photoshop goes bad.

Wondering. Whose. Body. borrowed. to. photoshop. with.

Definitely. Not. Hers.

She. Always. Got. Fat. Arms.

tabitha: stop posting your ignorant comments everywhere, at least be creative and change them from blog to blog.

She looks robotic here but maybe that was the look they were going for….I dunno.

http://fatalfashionattraction.blogspot.com/

OMG, THEY TOTALLY MADE A ROBOT THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE GWYENTH PALTROW!!!

She really looks cool on the front page of the magazine!

-armine

This ***** comes to American whenever she has a film to promote but bashes it otherwise. **** off Gwen! Boycott her films.

What did they do to her head? It looks detached from her body.

get over it @ 04/15/2008 at 8:01 am

First of all, the **** she’s disliked for saying…she never said it. It was tabloid trash.

Second she’s in one of the biggest blockbusters coming out this year so I don’t think her careers over just yet.

She is still a fashion icon. Anything she wears sells out worldwide. For example, the dress to wore to Madonna’s UN benefit sold out within hours of the pictures hitting the press.

And finally some of you are acting like the airbrushing is somehow her fault. Go and talk **** to the guy who did it.

the magazine cover is awkard looking. gwyneth looked force to strike that expression or something. but i love the set, dress, weird robot for the cover. if only gwyneth was more graceful.

the cover is not exactly outstanding, but it’s not the worst case of photoshop either. too much negativity towards someone we don’t really know. chill people. she’s not the queen of the masses (unlike say ms.jolie) , but you have to admit that gwyneth was and still a fashion media darling.

It’s not bad. It’a a typical Vogue (American) cover. I wish they would stop using actresses and use modesl for fashion magazines. Thee are very few actresses who are fashion icons these days. They all live in jeans and are very non elegant. Get a fashion model next time..
As far as people not liking her? so what? If you don’t like her move on.

Tabitha, I agree with you and alot of the other posters. I also think Gwyneth is a washed up has been. The only way she gets work is because of family ties. She needs to re-invent herself or drop out because what she and her people are pushing we the public don’t want nothing to do with it. I will NOT see Ironman or any other movie she is in. Have a nice day!

Well, I do not read tabloids and that stuff Gwyneth’s generally ‘disliked’ for saying comes from reputable publications like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and The Times.

Agree, her head looks pasted on.

I LOVE HER!!!

She is and always will be my No. 1 fashion icon.

GO GWYNNIE!

I thought she was a mannequin when I first glanced at the photo.

well, a bit drab looking for summer cover, though.

i just don’t like the mood of it. she would have looked better in colorful and summery tone.

“Regina, she gets a lot of comments because people hate her THAT much. She always has more negative comments than positive ones and people have the right to share their opinion.

Just like the bitter people here who always post negative comments? Name me FIVE negative comments from Gwynnie with reliable sources, please.

It’s amazing what photo shop can do; in person she looks busted.

She looks like Elizabeth Mitchell in this photo I almost didn’t recognize her! But she looks beautiful!

I don’t mind the cover but it doesn’t look like Gwyneth at all.

la nausee @ 05/14/2008 at 5:45 pm

Did anyone read the article? In it, Gwynnie talks about how she “simplifies everything,” and then the obsequious reporter follows her around on a typical day of elite shopping and Black-berrying and ego-babble. My favorite was the description of her weekends back in Merry Olde England: arriving in hunting tweeds at some private estate and then dressing every night for dinner in “haute couture.” Simplify– hah!
