Gwyneth Paltrow gave fans a small glimpse of her private life at her Montecito, California home — yes, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are neighbors — as part of a Q&A "Ask Me Anything" session with her followers on Instagram.
While many of them asked about her health regimen, eating habits, fashion choices, and even her taste in music, one decided to go bold and ask for a peek at her appearance.
"Can I see your beautiful legs," a follower asked, and the 50-year-old actress responded with a photograph of herself showing off her endlessly toned legs.

One of the photos as part of her session included her posing in a pair of wide-legged jeans from her Goop label, which she showed off in bold fashion back in May.

As a wellness guru, Gwyneth has talked openly about body image and confidence over the years. She has shared her own hopes for "self-improvements" and talked about experiencing insecurities as a woman.
"I don't think I've ever met a woman that feels completely great about her body, and that’s a real shame," she previously told The Associated Press.
"That means that we're holding ourselves to some other standard that's been prescribed to us and it's very external as opposed to internal. At this point in my life, I'm definitely not a perfect person, but I'm always on a journey toward self-improvement.
"I really like myself. I know my faults. I don't think I have blind spots anymore, and I'm trying to sort of cultivate that same feeling about my body."

"I am struck by how, for both of my parents, 50 seemed like a reckoning. For my mother, it was a culmination of the wonderous, the highs, the loves, the art. For my father, a culmination of sorrows," she stated.

Elaborating on the way it had changed her body while her mind remained at peace, she continued: "A collection of marks and irregularities that dog-ear the chapters," listing off graying hair, oven burns, the effects of pregnancy, and even the scars of a finger being smashed in a window long ago.
