Gwen Stefani then (left), and now

The rocker-turned-fashionista has come a long way from her youthful ska style. Her signature red lips, however, have proved to be a constant classic.  Just a girl? We don't think so.

Helen Mirren

Even before she achieved royalty status in The Queen Mirren captured audiences with her stately demeanor.  Like a fine wine, this Dame only got better with age. Plus, have you seen her in a bikini?

Sarah Jessica Parker

This former Square Peg has transitioned from ugly duckling to red carpet darling.

Cate Blanchett

With her maximum-mascara phase behind her, this Oscar winner looks more fresh faced than ever. Seriously, Cate, are you pulling a Benjamin Button?

Jennifer Lopez

Gone are the brick-red lips. Here to stay? Her figure. As she said 13 years ago, "I have a very curvaceous Latin body. I like to accentuate that."

Sandra Bullock

She’s matured into an elegant A-lister who looks just as natural walking the red carpet in couture as she does riding a dirt bike in jeans.

Sheryl Crow

Her tresses used to be a mess (was it a bad perm?), but the singer’s present-day silky strands atone for her past hair don’ts.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Not only is she fitter than she was in the Seinfeld era (she unveiled a stunning bikini body in 2009), she’s also ditched the frumpy duds.

Julia Roberts

This Pretty Woman swapped her small town looks for Hollywood Glamour when she hit the big time. It's no surprise Roberts is constantly at the top of everyone’s most beautiful list.

Queen Latifah

Somebody get this regal CoverGirl a crown: She’s rocking her best body yet-and not hiding it under layers of baggy clothes.

Felicity Huffman

In the 1980s, this Emmy winner battled eating disorders. Now she’s healthy, toned (look at those arms!) and glowing with confidence.

Mary-Louise Parker

There’s a reason Esquire invited her to pose wearing only an apron last year rather than back in the day: It’s because now the Weeds actress is a sex symbol.

Marisa Tomei

She bared a hard body in The Wrestler, but it’s her sophisticated wardrobe that makes this star more attractive now than she was in her My Cousin Vinny "yoot."

Kate Walsh

Trading blond hair for red, she went from just cute to sinfully sexy. "Being blond was always other than what I really am," she’s said. "I realized I’d never be a sweet girl."
