Jennifer Connelly: Lady in Red

Not that she needs any help in the looks department, but many of Jennifer Connelly's beauty firsts were born on film sets (brow shaping for A Beautiful Mind, blondifying for Virginia). These days, her three kids and work with disaster relief and antipoverty nonprofit Save the Children leave her little primping time, apart from some yoga and her religious skincare regimen. Has motherhood affected her role choices, too? "I was already a mom when I did Requiem for a Dream," she points out. Clearly, she's no ordinary mom.
