50 Coolest Celebrity Moms
The stars we most want in our playgroup.

30. Julianne Moore
Because, um? Julianne Moore? She’s one of the most gorgeous, elegant moms out there and I totally want to be just like her when I grow up.
29. Julia Roberts
Because she’s managed better than anybody to keep her family life separate from her celebrity life, and doesn’t seem to care if that’s lost her any celebrity street-cred, which it hasn’t, but still. Also, because she gave her kids the best names ever.
28. Jada Pinkett Smith
Because, seriously? She could kick my ass but good for leaving her off a list like this. Not that she’d care, though. She’s too cool for that.
27. Claudia Schiffer
Because she dresses her kids up in those adorable private school uniforms and then follows them down the street as they pedal along on their scooters, looking for all the world like little Oliver (and Olivia) Twists with trust funds. Anachronistic childrearing: cool.
26. Christy Turlington
Because she makes "granola-mama" look like a really hip thing to be. So much so that she could almost convince me to do yoga. Almost.
25. Mel Brown
Because she handled that whole Eddie "Oh Hey That’s Not My Baby" Murphy thing without getting the least bit stabby. At least not in public, anyway. And if she got a bit stabby in private, well, who can blame her?
24. Sadie Frost
Because she’s very nearly in the same category of hip as Kate Moss, but without the sordid druggy-rock-star-party-party complications. Also, she designs a fashion line that features sexy underwear, and she dumped Jude Law. How many moms do you know who can lay claim to that?
23. Uma Thurman
Because Uma Thurman could just stand there with kid-barf and pancake splatter all over her and she’d still be cooler than pretty much everyone else. And because she just ignores her ex when he does stupid things like impregnate the former nanny or write stupid songs about the divorce. That’s cooler than I could manage, any day.
22. Liv Tyler
Because I don’t think that I’ve seen more than two or three pictures of her, since she became a mom, without her baby. If that.
21. Nicole Kidman
Because, quite apart from being beautiful and composed and one of the best actresses in the world, she manages to share custody of her children with one of the strangest men in the known universe and never publicly say a critical word about him.
