Gwyneth Paltrow Reveals All In Photoshoot

Gwyneth Paltrow has appeared in Vanity Fair magazine wearing only a pair of fishnet stockings and Louis Vuitton jewellery.

The 38-year old mother of two was snapped posing demurely with her hair in an elegant topknot.

Paltrow, who attributes her figure to daily exercise and healthy eating, admits it takes "sheer determination" to keep in shape.

"I'm very strict with myself," Paltrow commented in a recent interview. "When I (exercise) six days a week and eat clean food, I feel much better."

However, the A-list actress confessed to Self magazine last year that she does "slack off" during vacation.

"If I'm on vacation and, like, "F--- it, I'm not working out," I know what to do when I get back. A lot of women think, "Oh, my God, I could never get there," but I don't think that's true. It's simply relative to how much you put into it."

Paltrow is a source of speculation on the internet at the moment – she was spotted dining with Topshop CEO Sir Philip Green yesterday, sparking rumours that she may be in talks to design a line for the high-street chainstore.

Although her design experience is limited, Paltrow did create a capsule collection for ZOEtee's in 2009, as well as a one-off tshirt for Japanese brand Uniqlo.
