The ’Shakespeare In Love’ beauty also recently told fans she will not be working on any movies in the foreseeable future because of her commitment to being a good mum.

It’s changed the way I see the world - I feel like it’s even changed my DNA."
Gwyneth Paltrow has been voted best-dressed woman - April 10, 2020
Gwyneth Paltrow has been voted Britain’s best-dressed woman - despite being American. The pregnant actress, who now resides in London with husband Chris Martin and daughter Apple, beat supermodel Kate Moss and actress Thandie Newton in the annual poll in Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
According to Harper’s fashion features editor, Sara Buys, Gwyneth’s style has improved since she set up home in the British capital. She said: "With her Grace Kelly high glamour, Gwyneth used to embody the idea of the quintessential East Coast, privileged, all-American girl. "Since she started living in the UK full time, she has developed a less polished, more daring style that owes its origins to London street style. "Gwyneth has also developed a very healthy appetite for our unbeatable High Street."
Peaches Geldof, 17, was the youngest icon to make the list - coming in at number seven, beating Madonna. Others to make the poll included Sienna Miller, Liberty Ross and Yasmin Le Bon.

The Paltrows moved to Manhattan, New York when Gwyneth was 11 years old, where she would watch her Tony award-winning mother perform at theatre festivals, inspiring the young Gwyneth to become an actress herself, an ambition which resulted in a starring role in a production of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Gwyneth returned to Los Angeles in order to attend the University of California in Santa Barbara as an art history major. While her first film role was in the 1991 film Shout, with John Travolta, her big break came along when she went out one night with her father and family friends Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw.
Big league director Spielberg was in the process of casting for his film Hook and that night, he offered Gwyneth the role of Wendy, which she instantly accepted. After her role in Hook, also starring Robin Williams and Julia Roberts, she was cast as the lead in the 1992 mini-series Cruel Doubt.
The budding actress’ resume was soon filling up, with roles in Malice, Flesh and Bone, Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, Jefferson in Paris, and Moonlight and Valentino. Although audiences were beginning to take notice of Gwyneth, the film that threw her into the spotlight was her role as Brad Pitt’s girlfriend in the thriller Seven, which is where the highly photogenic couple met and fell in love. For a while anyway.
Following this she worked on films including The Pallbearer, Great Expectations, Sliding Doors and A Perfect Murder, although her star status was really confirmed when she accepted the Best Actress Oscar in (some say fake) floods of tears.
After a brief hiatus, Gwyneth returned to the big-screen in the beautifully shot The Talented Mr. Ripley, as Jude Law’s good-hearted girlfriend. And since has filmed Shallow Hal, Sylvia and View From The Top. Following a move to swanky Belgravia where she spends time drinking herbal tea, following a macrobiotic diet and doing Yoga with best mates Madonna and Stella McCartney, Gwynnie fell in love with Coldplay singer Chris Martin who she secretly married late in 2003 while preganant with his baby, which is due this summer.
