Gwyneth Paltrow, 50, stuns in black bikini alongside mother Blythe, 79, on Barbados beach

That’s why Gwynnie is so skinny! The Oscar-winning actress, 50, stuns in a black bikini next to her mother Blythe, 79, as the couple sunbathe on the beach in Barbados.

She has spoken about how turning 50 last year left her ‘liberated’ and feeling more comfortable in her own skin than she did when she was a young Hollywood star.

And Gwyneth Paltrow showed off her healthy body on a Barbados beach last week during a holiday break, proving that when it comes to good genes, the apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree.

The slim Oscar winner wowed in a black bikini as she lounged with her mother Blythe Danner, who looked amazing at 79 in a sarong.

Gwyneth, a mother of two, took a walk with actress Blythe before swimming and sunbathing with her 18-year-old daughter Apple.

One viewer said: ‘It was wonderful to see three generations of Paltrows.

“It is clear that good genes run in the family.

“There was nothing fake about them, they radiated health and happiness.”
