| Just how has Julia Roberts maintained her Pretty Woman appeal during twenty years in the public eye? Her glam squad isn't taking credit. "Julia almost doesn't need me," hairstylist Serge Normant has said of the Oscar winner's signature curls. And, according to makeup artist Genevieve Herr, "Julia likes her makeup subtle. She's very specific." Instead, the Eat Pray Love star's elixir of youth comes in the form of her three children with husband Danny Moder. As Herr has said: "Now that she has the babies, she has reached her peak of beauty." 1985: The gorgeous teenager graduated from Campbell High School in Smyrna, Georgia.
