Transformation

Whether she's capturing hearts in Hollywood or in a galaxy far, far away, Black Swan star Natalie Portman never loses her girlish charm. That freshness has been likened to gamine Audrey Hepburn's, but the Israeli-born Harvard grad has developed her own unique look. "I've gone from teaching her to do her prom makeup to giving her retro smoky eyes and red lips for a premiere," says makeup artist Jeanine Lobell. And Portman has been just as experimental with her hair. "She lets me create a straight bob one day and wavy extensions the next," says hairstylist Mark Townsend. "She gets me inspired because she's not afraid to take risks." The force, it seems, is always with her.

The 13-year-old star of The Professional already exhibited the big brown eyes, full lips and perfect bone structure of a great beauty.
