Hilary Swank may have donned a frilly and ultra-feminine red party dress for our February cover, but in reality this actress is about as low-maintenance as it gets. "She's just really down-to-earth, friendly and warm," said assistant stylist Cristal Butler. "She likes to keep things simple."

"She's one of the real actresses in Hollywood, with a huge amount of integrity," said Erdmann.
