They embody glamour. They are red-carpet royalty. But these two megastars have much more to boast than Oscars, beauty, and stellar careers. And while scandal-loving starlets invade Hollywood, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts have stood the test of time.
We’ve watched Nicole Kidman command the silver screen as an over-the-top Moulin Rouge performer, a Stepford wife, and a nose-twitching witch. This month she stars opposite Daniel Craig in the magical, vibrant fantasy film The Golden Compass. Mrs. Keith Urban is the epitome of grace and class. Throughout difficult periods in her career and personal life, she has remained both demure and confident. On the red carpet, Kidman favors sweeping gowns, stunning colors, and traditional styles. Movie star by day, devoted housewife by night, Julia Roberts has embraced motherhood as the most important role of her life. Now the pretty woman will star as Joanna Herring, a glitzy siren who romances a Texas congressman played by Tom Hanks in Charlie Wilson’s War. After 20 years in the spotlight, Roberts still beguiles us with her beauty. With her megawatt smile and infectious laughter, she has the charming and rare ability to be simultaneously goofy and gorgeous. On the red carpet, Roberts sticks to basic blacks and simple flattering fashions. Her luscious locks and disarming dimples are her most enviable accessories.
