"Gwyneth is well known as the actress every designer wants to dress," Vogue Editor Anna Wintour writes in the editorial. Paltrow, she remarks, qualifies as "simultaneously chic, accessible, natural, friendly and warm."
I.E., skinny, blue eyed blonde. She was constantly in the tabloid fashion sections when I grew up. (They regularly disparaged her small breasts, dubbing her "Paltry Paltrow." But her fashion itself was lauded.) I remember just faithfully believing she must be the greatest actress alive, because movie reviews, magazines, and then even the Oscars said so. Then I grew up and realized she had been deliberately overrated. I do think she's a good actress, but one of the best? No.
Kids back then were so cruel, I used to get called skeletor and bones. J. Lo and curves were super popular back then so if you were skinny with no boobs, you just got called "not a real woman".
Hmmm, I think you're right and I'm probably mixing things up. J. Lo/Vida Guerra era was in 1999 - early 2000's I think. I think I was too young for the initial super skinny phase (Kate Moss time) but I caught the other phase (Nicole Ritchie/Lindsey Lohan).
People just need to stop commenting on women's body. Shit, just remembering all the body comparisons made at a young age, we were so harsh on each other.
