Is that really Gwyneth on the cover of W?

Um, maybe there is something to that story of Gwyneth Paltrow using snake venom on her face. What else can explain September's W magazine cover? The perpetually pale and WASPy looking faux-English lass now looks like she's been spending secret time in Donatella Versace's private beauty palace. The spray tan, the giant brush brows and the blindingly white hair render her virtually unrecognizable. I understand the urge to try something new with your look sometimes, but appearing on the cover of a fashion magazine looking like La Cicciolina seems like an odd career move. I haven't seen all the contestants yet, but this is in the running for the worst of the September covers.

It kinda makes sense...venom paralyzes muscles and nerves and would likely have a temporary line smothing effect.

I doubt they'd get away with selling it if it contained enough to be harmful...

WELL, GOLLLLLLLY... MS. DEIDRE !

HERE'S A SUGGESTION; WHY DON'T YOU POST A CURRENT PIC OF YOURSELF... RIGHT NEXT TO GWYNETH'S, BEFORE YOU GO OFF ON ONE OF YOUR JUVENILE, SNARKY, BENTS? THATAWAY, MAYBE THE REST OF US CAN DECIDE FOR OURSELVES WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE AS FULL OF CRAP, AS YOU APPEAR TO BE. ACTUALLY, I THINK THE PHOTO OF MS. PALTRO (ASSUMING IT IS OF HER), IS RATHER STRIKING... IF NOT, FLATTERING.
GWYNETH'S "TALENT", VALUE, AND POPULARITY, AS AN ENTERTAINER, RUNS MUCH DEEPER, AND SHINES MUCH BRIGHTER, THAN YOU WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE. SHE IS AN ACCOMPLISHED "ACTOR", ON STAGE AND SCREEN, WHO HAS MANAGED TO DELIGHT AND INTRIGUE MANY THOUSANDS OF HER "FANS"... BY SHARING HER MANY GIFTS; OTHER THAN HER LOOKS, ALONE. IN SHORT, SHE IS RATHER 'GOOD-LOOKING', WITH, OR WITHOUT, AN ABUNDANCE OF MAKEUP. BUT, HER LOOKS ALONE, ARE NOT WHAT KEEPS "PUTTING THE ASSES IN THE SEATS"... TIME, AND TIME, AGAIN.
GROW UP... YOUR NOT STILL IN JR. HIGH... OR, ARE YOU!!!

uh, Dierdre honey--its called a "hater alert." I agree with the poster--put up your pimple face next to Paltrow and let the judging begin.

I think she looks modern and fabulous.

If that is Gwyneth then I like the old one better , even if she doesn't think America is a good place to raise her kids. America made her rich.

The fact Rex has to say, "I think the photo of Ms. Palto (assuming it is of her) is rather striking...

That's the odd part of the photo it doesn't resemble her. Palto is a very beautiful and talented actress, but at times you see photos of celebrities that the photos look nothing like them. Sometimes it's the photographers fault in how he captured the individual.

I'm not a fan of this photo, I'd rather see the Gwyenth looking like Gwyenth. I'd have to agree this cover will go down as one of the worse covers of the year, not because Gwyenth doesn't look attractive (she always does), but she looks nothing like herself.

Deidre, I liked the article. The only one acting like they're in Junior High is Rex. Emotions, darling... emotions.

First, I'm not a die hard fan. I liked Gwyneth in a few things, others I could pass on. But I've never actually seen her look better in a picture than she does in that one. Its an excellent picture. And keep in mind, this is a picture.

Second, when the hell did blond hair and a tan become a bad look on anyone? Deirdre, I commend you for trying to find someone other than Paris, Britney, or Lindsay to make fun of, but you really missed the mark on this one. You're writing for a blog on a site called Styledash. A little sense of style would be nice. Saying she looks different is one thing, but calling it one of the worst covers of September is just stupid. Maybe it is jealousy or envy or just some traumatic psychotic hatred for Gwenyth, but whatever it is, you should keep those things in your therapist's office.

I find it interesting that they describe the before Gwyneth as....
"The perpetually pale and WASPy looking faux-English lass" but then go on to criticize her with "spray tan, the giant brush brows and the blindingly white hair render her virtually unrecognizable" about the new picture. Geez, did this columnist just hate her all the way around? She looks fine either way to me, let her be.

as a makeup artist it is not up to the person being photographed how the look will be executed. It is totally up to the photographer, wardrobe stylist, makeup artist, and hair stylist as a team how they will achieve the best look for the shoot. This Deidre person doesn't know what she's talking about.
