Wonder Woman: Julia Roberts

LilSugar — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:00:22 -0700

Since she first came on the scene as a teenage waitress in 1988's Mystic Pizza, Julia Roberts has charmed her way into the hearts of theater-goers. Now appearing in her first starring role in five years, the Duplicity star has chosen motherhood over Hollywood glamour. Splitting her time between homes in Taos, NM and New York City, the actress spends more time watching her three tots - twins Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter, 4, and Henry Daniel,1, - than acting. She recently posed for Allure reading a children's book and told the U.K.'s Telegraph:

"Of course my life has changed and I work less, but I was never really one to work too much. I never really did years of movie-after-movie-after-movie but when you've got three toddlers in the house you're performing all day long, anyway, with puppet shows and stories---I act around the clock."

While many Hollywood mamas talk the talk, Roberts truly appears to walk the mommy walk.

Mommy Julia Roberts Shows Reading Can Be Fun in Allure

LilSugar — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:00:00 -0700

I was thrilled to see Julia Roberts open up about motherhood and making family a priority in the March issue of Allure. The spread offers a sweet look at the "Domestic Goddess," (that's Allure's caption, but judging her down to earth demeanor it suits her) and manages to sneak in this beautiful photo of the mother of three reading Munro Leaf's classic book Reading Can Be Fun.

Leaf is known to most as the author of the controversial children's book The Story of Ferdinand, but published about 40 kitschy guidebooks for children in the '30s and '40s, many of which have been reprinted in the last few years. The series, which includes Manners Can Be Fun, Brushing Your Teeth Can Be Fun, How to Speak Politely and Why, How to Behave and Why and Reading Can Be Fun (all about $15), features stick-figure illustrations and wholesome, verse-y text aimed at teaching children the rules of thoughtfulness and etiquette. I wonder if Julia and Danny read the series to little Hazel, Phinnaeus and Henry before bed.

Trendtotting: Elephant Couture

LilSugar — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 04:00:28 -0800

After being inundated with ads from mass marketers for the past six weeks, it feels good to find products designed by individuals with a flair for whimsy. Elephant Couture is a small, but beautiful line of infant and toddler clothing designed by New York-based portrait photographer Leslie Hassler. Following the birth of her son, she began designing cute, but not cutesy, items for him. When her celebrity photo subjects, like Julia Roberts tried to buy them, she decided to open the designs up to the public. With onesies ($32) and pajamas ($38) fit for the star in your life and t-shirts ($32) and dresses ($48) inspired by Hassler's global travels, the items may quickly be added to your tot's clothing rotation.

Would You Dye Your Hair at Your Daughter's Request?

Julia Roberts recently sported a lil patch of pink hair and attributed the hued lock to her daughter, Hazel. The three year-old thought pastel tresses would look good on her mommy, so the actress obliged with a few colored strands.

If the look wasn't dramatically different, would you do this for your child?

Labor Day weekend provided us with an extra day to capture the fun and exciting lives of celebrity babes around the world. Nahla took a trip to the zoo where she could easily have been the main attraction. The Rossdale boys soaked up the sun in Malibu, while proud Longhorn papa Matthew McConaughey took his son Levi to his first college football game. I'm with the McConaugheys - Hook 'em Horns!

Trendtotting: Abigail Breslin Shimmers Down Red Carpet

LilSugar — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 14:00:53 -0700

America's favorite girl, Abigail Breslin, showcased her sassy sense of 12-year-old style at the New York premiere of Kit Kittredge: American Girl. Looking every bit her age and like quite the lil lady in a gorgeous, sparkly Yana Brink couture dress, which was accented at the waist and had a decadently ruffed skirt that any woman would envy.

The actress, who stars as Kit, paired it with complementary peep toed shoes by BCBG Girls. While shimmering down the red carpet in the company of some of Hollywood's hottest like Julia Roberts and Julianne Moore, the talented sweetheart held her own, with hand on hip. And, sporting soft cascading tendrils and natural makeup, the movie star proved a tween could be a showstopper without sacrificing her sweetness. Now that's Tinseltown chic!

Introducing Henry Daniel Moder!

Pretty mama Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks were on Oprah today promoting their movie, Charlie Wilson's War, which opens in theaters on Christmas day. But the audience members weren't cooing over the Oscar winners on stage; they were admiring the picture of 5-month-old Henry Daniel Moder that proud mom Julia brought to share.
