Emmy Awards 2011: Gwyneth Paltrow wins for most daring dress as she puts her toned tummy on show

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Sheer daring: Gwyneth Paltrow arrived at the Emmy Awards in LA today wearing a Pucci dress and Neil Lane jewellery

She works hard to keep in shape, and Gwyneth Paltrow certainly wasn't going to miss an opportunity to flaunt the results.

The 38-year-old put her toned and trim stomach on show in a daring Pucci dress as she arrived at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles for the Emmy Awards.

Paltrow topped off her dress with platinum earrings by Neil Lane that boasted 7 carats of black-and-white diamonds, two platinum and diamond bracelets with a total of 100 carats, and a platinum ring with 5 carats of diamonds and black onyx.


Toned and terrific: The actress and fitness fanatic was eager to show off the results of her work outs

She had been quick to choose the number, telling E! News host Ryan Seacrest: 'I tried on two dresses and I picked this one.'

But it seems the frock, which featured a sheer panel across the midriff, was even more revealing than she thought.

As she stood under the bright lights on the red carpet, she added: 'It's a little see-through, I'm realising.'


And the winner is: The actress presented the gong for best comedy series to Modern Family

But the look was still admired by many, including Parks and Recreation's Amy Poehler who joked: 'I can't stand next to her too long. She looks too good.'

Paltrow earned herself a win even before the ceremony even began.

She took home a gong at the the Creative Arts Emmys on September 11 for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Holly Holiday in Glee.

At tonight's ceremony, she presented the award for best comedy series to Modern Family.

All aboard the mothership! Pregnant Beyonce invites best friend Gwyneth Paltrow on luxury yacht

By Jade Watkins


She was front row and centre to watch her perform at Glastonbury back in June.

And once again Gwyneth Paltrow was right by her pregnant pal Beyonce's side as she celebrated her 30th birthday in Venice, Italy, today.

The pair were seen chatting on the deck of a luxury yacht, along with the singer's husband and the father of her first child, Jay Z.

Swapping notes? Mother-of-two and close friend Gwyneth Paltrow joined Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z on a luxury yacht in Venice, Italy, today, as the singer continued to celebrate her 30th birthday


Gwyneth, 38, appeared to have had handed over what looked to be a birthday card to her close friend.

The two certainly have plenty to catch up on, especially since Beyonce announced her pregnancy just last week.

And Gwyneth, who is mother to two children daughter Apple, six, and Moses, five, will surely have some good advice for her close friend as she gets ready for motherhood for the very first time.

Gwyneth is in Venice to promote her new movie Contagion, alongside co-star Matt Damon.

Last night, she looked dewy and youthful in a blush pink organza gown, clutch and platform heels, all by Prada.

Taking a moment: Earlier in the day Beyonce was spotted taking a moment to tenderly cradle her baby bump as she enjoyed a refreshing juice


Today for her party, Beyonce was also joined by other friends, including singer Erykah Badu, on the plush vessel to celebrate her Beyonce's big day.

Earlier in the day, the superstar was relaxing solo with her husband, spending some time soaking up the sun on the top deck.

She was later spotted taking a moment to tenderly cradle her baby bump as she enjoyed a refreshing juice.

She slipped her pregnancy figure into what appeared to be a pair of loose fitting white trousers and a navy vest.

Beyonce has been having a relaxing time in the romantic Italian city after she and her 41-year-old husband arrived there last week.

Ahoy there! The group are staying aboard this luxury boat


Over the weekend, the pair were also seen out in the romantic city of Venice enjoying a dinner date.

It is the first time that Beyonce had been pictured since she announced she is pregnant at last Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards.

The singer looked radiant and happy as she left her hotel with her husband protectively by her side.

Her burgeoning bump could be seen underneath her maxi patterned dress which had gold embroidered halter straps and Beyoncé looked positively glowing.

Beyoncé debuted her baby bump in an orange Lanvin gown and told the assembled press: 'I have a surprise!' at the MTV Video Music Awards, late last month.

And the singer didn't let her pregnancy prevent her from bringing the house down with an energetic performance.

She was cheered on Jay-Z, who performed new single Otis with Kanye West, before taking to the stage herself.

Arriving onstage in a purple glittery blazer and black trousers by Dolce & Gabbana, the mother-to-be said: 'I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me.'

After a fabulous performance of Love On Top that attracted a standing ovation from the audience, Beyoncé ripped open her jacket and proudly rubbed her baby bump.

The cameras panned to the audience where Jay-Z was beaming, as his friend Kanye jumped up and down, smacking the father-to-be on the back and shaking him.

The announcement comes after a stellar summer for the Grammy-winner in which she headlined Glastonbury and released another hit album, 4.

Beyoncé, who has won 16 Grammy awards, said in a recent interview that she feels she has achieved enough in her career to settle down and make family a priority.

'When you're young - 18 or 19 - you have the energy and drive. That's the time to work as hard as you can,' she told the September issue of In Style.

Now I'm a woman, and because I gave it my all, I can focus on my marriage.

'I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children.'

Beyoncé married rapper Jay-Z on September 4, 2008 in New York.

Speaking to Piers Morgan in June, she hinted: 'I always said I was going to have a baby at 30. I'm 29 now.

'But I also said I was going to retire at 30. So I don't know,' she said, adding: 'I am not retiring, I tell you.'

Pressed by Morgan she said: 'Only God knows, only God knows.'

Pretty in pink: Gwyneth Paltrow is a vision in rosa at the Venice Film Festival

By LAURA SCHREFFLER



In the pink: Gwyneth Paltrow looks perfect in pink Prada during the premiere of her new film, Contagion, at the Venice International Film Festival this evening



Gwyneth Paltrow may be a married mother of two, but she still managed to look girlish this evening in a cotton candy-coloured frock.



The 38-year-old Oscar winner premiered her new film Contagion at the Venice International Film Festival alongside co-star Matt Damon.



She looked dewy and youthful in a blush pink organza gown, clutch and platform heels, all by Prada.





She finished off her ensemble with large, sun-shaped earrings from Bulgari's High Jewelry Collection.





The star kept her makeup minimal but chic: going with her 'in the pink' theme, she paired a golden-hued shadow with a strong, hot pink lip and a rose-coloured blush.



She posed beside Damon, whom she has previously starred with in The Talented Mr.



Ripley, and his wife, Luciana Barroso, also gorgeous in pink but she had gold embellishments on her gown.

Fan favourite: The Oscar winner waves to fans at the Palazzo de Cinema





The actress certainly didn't look like the victim of a terrifying global virus as she strutted down the red carpet at Venice's Palazzo de Cinema to promote her new film.



She appeared just as healthy yesterday during a photo call for the new movie as she paired another eye-catching Prada dress with a black belt.



However, while her frock at tonight's film festival was classic and vaguely reminiscent of the Ralph Lauren dress she wore to the 1999 Academy Awards.

Touch-me-up: Gwyneth gets a red carpet touch-up at the Contagion premiere

Her glamorous style was a far cry from the more natural look she showed off last weekend in New York, where she appeared make-up free to promote her new cookbook.

The future's bright: Gwyneth dazzles in the orange Prada dress for the Contagion photocall in Venice





Her latest film may cast her as the victim of a terrifying global virus, but that didn't stop Gwyneth Paltrow from looking bright and glamorous during a photocall for Contagion today.



The actress teamed an eye-catching Prada dress with a black belt during her appearance at the 68th Venice Film Festival.



The 38-year-old star dazzled in the brightly-coloured ensemble she wore for the Contagion photocall - a film where she is infected with a mystery virus which quickly causes global terror.



Helping hand: Gwyneth is helped down some steps in front of Matt Damon, her co-star in the gripping virus disaster film





Steven Soderbergh's virus disaster film premiered in Venice this week, with Gwyneth appearing alongside co-stars Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne and Jennifer Ehle at the Palazzo del Casino photocall.



Gwyneth's glamorous style was a far cry from the more natural look she showed off last weekend in New York, where she appeared make-up free to promote her new cookbook.



Contagion follows the trail of a deadly virus which starts when Gwyneth's character, Beth Emhoff, is infected at an airport, allowing the mystery illness to go global.



And Gwyneth's performance clearly won her some new fans, not least co-star Matt Damon.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, he said: 'More so than anybody I’ve ever worked with, she’s got an ability to turn it on and off.



'Like she can just be talking about anything and then when they say, ‘Rolling,’ it’s like she snaps, she just locks in, in a way that I don’t understand, because I can’t do it.



'I’ve worked with a lot of great actors and one thing that happens for me is that a great actor is so good that they pull me right in... that’s how I feel when I do a scene with her, I’m instantly brought in because she takes me there.'

The Beckhams Post Pictures Of Their New Daughter

Victoria Beckham and Harper Seven

British football player, David Beckham and his wife Victoria, have posted photos of their new baby daughter, Harper Seven Beckham (with initials similar to that bank). The name "Harper" was chosen after the author of the book "To Kill A Mockingbird" (you know full well Victoria doesn't read books and named that baby after the fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar).

David Beckham and Harper Seven

The baby is said to resemble Victoria, which is ironic, since David Beckham is naturally prettier than most men...and women out there. As to be expected, people on the internet have started with fun nicknames for the new baby. The most comical one I've read thus far for little Harper Seven is the similar sounding "Half Past Seven" (7:30 in American speak). Still, the jokes could be worse. She could be Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter Apple Martin, with people calling her "Apple Martini."
