The early nineties is just a hop, skip and a jump away from the late eighties and in this picture it shows. A high up-do, combined with dodgy pale and purple eyeshadow and deep red lips was not Gwynnie's finest hour. But her wrinkle-free, flawless complexion still shines through, proving the star can transcend the passing trends. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html

All in the name of her art, Gwynnie went for the chop back in 1997 for her role in hit movie Sliding Doors. She kept her pixie crop when the cameras stopped rolling and with her slender features, the girl can pull it off. Short, blonde and bold, this was a winning cut for Gwyneth she bagged Brad Pitt with it, after all. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html

Fast forward a year and Gwyneth has grown her hair to reveal a super-sleek, poker straight barnet for the premiere of Shakespeare In Love. The silky locks and smokey eyes told Hollywood she meant business and it seems the look paid off after Gwyneth was awarded an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in the movie. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html

Gwyneth Paltrow: Raven beauty

Goodbye butter-wouldn't-melt Gwyneth, hello dark raven beauty. The actress turned brilliant brunette to promote The Talented Mr Ripley and once again proves she can pull off a myriad of looks. Here she chooses dark eyeliner to accentuate her piercing blue eyes and a deep lip shade. Together with her new dark curls, Gwyneth nails gothic glamour. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html

Gwyneth's bold brunette shade didn't last long. By the time she took to the red carpet for the 77th Academy Awards, she had reverted to the cascading blonde waves we know and love. A blush cheek shade and glossy lips worked wonders to set off her milky skin and nude-coloured frock. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html

The style chameleon took another fashion avenue to promote her 2005 movie, Proof. A glossy chic chignon, flawless complexion and a slick of bright red lipstick, combined with a black evening gown and chunky gold accessories gave Gwynnie the sexy señorita look you never thought a blonde could achieve. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html

By September 2006 Gwyneth is the proud mum of two and plans to get back to business the business of movie making.
