Ruffle up like Gwyneth in a Jil Sander shirt

Gweneth Paltrow proves yet again that you really can do it all. Not only does she run her own lifestyle publication and look after her kids, she does it in undeniable style.

This season is all about romantic ruffles, and the full-time career mum opted to showcase her fashion trend knowledge by sporting a striped, sleeveless shirt by Jil Sander (shop right to shop now). The pretty yet preppy look also featured a high-waisted denim skirt, in to which she tucked in the blouse, and Ray Ban sunglasses - note the chunky gold rings and bracelets that completed the look with a luxe edge.

The clean-lined elegance continued with a nonchalant bun and barely there make-up. Try the shirt yourself, and style it with jeans and heels for the chicest result. Add a slick of red lipstick to really finish it off!

Why not try the plain white version from the minimalist designer Jil Sander (below); Theory also have a similar option. Or, if high street is more in line with your spending habits, look to Asos and Topshop for alternatives.

The Seven actress tied her blonde locks up into a messy bun, which allowed the collared neckline of her top to stand out.

Her high-waisted skirt cinched in at the waist and flared down to a midi-length as she completed her look with her brown handbag.

A pair of cool black sunglasses framed her seemingly make-up free face as she basked in the glorious Californian sunshine.

Her high spirits may also have something to do with her romance with Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk, who she started seeing back in 2014.

Despite being smitten in the relationship, Gwyneth is still on great terms with her ex-husband Chris Martin.

The blonde beauty took to Instagram on Saturday to show her support for the Coldplay frontman after his touching tribute to the recent Orlando nightclub massacre victims during his gig at London's Wembley Stadium.

Gwyneth shared a snap of the sold-out concert which saw rainbow coloured confetti falling on the crowds. 

She captioned the image: 'Rainbow cloud of confetti during #everytearawaterfall made my heartbreak again for the beautiful men and women of Orlando who senselessly lost their lives. #orlando', in reference to one of Coldplay's songs.

While she didn't attend the London concert in person, she did jet off to Barcelona last month for a stop on Coldplay's European tour with their children, daughter Apple, 12, and son Moses, 10.
