text: As the pictures surfaced of Gwyneth Paltrow on holiday with her estranged husband Chris Martin earlier today, jaws dropped at the actress's super-toned figure. The star is well-known for her saintly approach to food and exercise and it continues to pay off - at 42 she has the figure of a woman half her age. Gwyneth isn't alone in this new attitude to life past the age of forty - a whole host of women are looking better in their fifth decade than ever. Scroll down for video .

Gwyneth Paltrow shows her enviable beach bod in a Marysia scallop edged black teeny bikini. When you work so hard for such results, you'd do the same. Marysia is a swimwear brand that was started by former ballet dancer/surfer Marysia Dobrzanska Reeves in 2009. She's quickly gained a cult following with celebs like Lupita Nyong’o and Rachel Bilson spotted wearing her feminine and whimsical pieces. Throw on a pair of sheer The Row palazzo pants and we envision you walking on the boardwalk of Monaco or South Hamptons' Main street.  The black bikini is a classic must-have item in every woman's wardrobe and will be a timeless investment.  The scalloped detail is something we can't say no to since it's just the perfect amount of girlishness and minimalism.  GOOP and us totally approve.
