Forty-two and fabulous! Gwyneth Paltrow celebrated her upcoming 42nd birthday early last Friday, Sept. 19, with a dinner party at AOC Wine Bar and Restaurant in Los Angeles. Glee and American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy, who threw the fete for the Goop founder, was in attendance as well as about 12 other pals including Cameron Diaz and Tracy Anderson.
A source tells Us Weekly that the intimate "fun" group dined in a private wine room on small plates, including sweet corn, avocado, rajas, queso fresco salad, the grilled peaches with ricotta and pistachio aillade, the farro and black rice, currants, a pine nuts dish, spanish fried chicken, and the market fish.
Paltrow, who famously maintains a strict diet, also feasted on vegetables, the insider adds of the birthday girl.
Paltrow will officially turn 42 this Saturday, Sept. 27.
