Women of Substance on January Covers: Gwyneth Paltrow on US InStyle and Amy Adams on US Marie Claire

Gwyneth Paltrow is the star selected to cover the special 200th issue of US InStyle magazine with a fold-out cover. Photographed by Michaelangelo Di Battista, Oscar winning actress is channeling her role in the film Country Strong, soon to be released - and so wears a strange combination of cowboy and spangle both in the story and on the cover. But I will say this - these photographs are as pretty as those stand-out ones taken by Mario Testino years ago and says much for her healthy living approach. Go Gwynnie.
Also on a January cover is gorgeous and talented actress Amy Adams (if you haven't seen the movie June Bug - do yourselves a favour this holiday). Having had a baby just seven months ago she was the chosen one to cover Marie Claire in the US - also I would guess in support of her much nominated movie The Fighter, for which Amy won a Best Supporting Actress Nomination. Congrats on both - what a year.
