Comeback? She's been featured heavily in ads for Estee Lauder for at least a year. That's a pretty big spotlight.

That cover photo has too much airbrushing, it doesn't remotely resemble her.
Just be yourself Gwyneth, you are beautiful, you don't need to touched up.

All that glitz and glimmer detracts from Ms. Paltrow's stunning and natural beauty. I think she degrades herself by allowing that magazine to destroy her appearance.

Wow, talk about coming back with a bang! She looks fantastic. Welcome back Gwyneth.

What a shock in the new look! Less "good girl" but a more sophisticated look. Not a copy of another's but still her own. This should mean more different roles.

Gosh..It looks like the same artist and re-touching process that did Posh & Becks a couple of weeks ago.

So airbrushed that she is unrecognisable.

I still won't watch a thing she does!

Horrible, she looked much better the previous.
