Happy Birthday, Gwyneth Paltrow!

The gorgeous Goop goddess turns 41 today (can you believe it?!), and it's safe to say the blond beauty looks better than ever.

In addition to being named the World's Most Beautiful Woman this year, Paltrow also celebrated the five-year anniversary of her lifestyle site, Goop, and she released her second best-selling cookbook, It's All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes That Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great, in April.

This year also marks the stunning star's 10-year anniversary with her rocker hubby Chris Martin, and the notoriously private couple has even become more candid when it comes to talking about their love for each other, with the mother of two most recently admitting that marrying the Coldplay frontman was the "best decision" she's ever made (aww!).

The Oscar-winning actress has also continued to find success on the big screen, and her latest flick, Iron Man 3, ranks as the No. 1 summer box office hit with a reported global gross of $1.2 billion.

Oh, and how could forget when the then-40-year-old star put every 20-year-old to shame when she showed off her incredible figure in a sexy see-through dress  at the film's premiere?!

But Gwyneth's Tracy Anderson-sculpted figure, healthy lifestyle and successful career aren't the only reasons why we envy the 41-year-old beauty.

She also has a bevy of supercool BFFs, including Cameron Diaz, Stella McCartney and Beyoncé.

And she's embraced aging in Hollywood with both style and grace:

"Ever since I've turned 40 [in September], I feel younger than ever and more energetic," Paltrow told E! News at the Iron Man 3 premiere in Hollywood in April. "I'm ready. I'm ready for action now."

But the very best thing about Apple and Moses' mama is the fact that she's not afraid to speak her mind (and utter something entirely outrageous).

So in the words of Gwyneth Paltrow we say: "Cheers to our hairless vaginas!" the birthday babe!
