InStyle Magazine Covers: 2000

January, Julia Roberts

The 32-year-old actress was looking forward to starting 2000 with a break. "My twenties were pretty much booked, you know?" Roberts told InStyle. "Now I'm able to realize the luxury that all that hard work can provide me. The luxury of just being totally relaxed." The actress, wearing an Alberta Ferretti dress, had just wrapped Erin Brockovich, the film that would finally earn her an Oscar.

February, Winona Ryder

The doe-eyed actress was starring opposite Angelina Jolie in Girl, Interrupted and Richard Gere in Autumn in New York when she graced our February cover. 28-year-old Ryder, wearing a Badgley Mischka dress, confessed her deepest fear; the dawning of the online age: "Living in the computer age, I'm just terrified that we're never going to have human contact ever again. I love the idea of touching the paper, feeling the texture of (a book). It's so much more romantic."

March, Julianna Margulies

After six busy years on ER, Margulies hung up her scrubs and was ready to take some well-deserved time off. "(ER) was the greatest experience in my life," the 32-year-old actress said. "Now I'm ready for the next great experience." On our cover, Margulies wore a Giorgio Armani top and M&J Savitt earrings.

April, Catherine Zeta-Jones

May, Heather Locklear

The Spin City star, wearing Celine on our cover, talked about her move back to L.A. and about being a rock star's wife.

September, Drew Barrymore

A newly redheaded Drew Barrymore, 25, was starring in the blockbuster hit Charlie's Angels and thrilled with her hair makeover. "I find redheads so sexy," the young actress said.

October, Demi Moore

The actress, then 38, talked about taking a break from making movies to spend time at home with her daughters.

December, Sandra Bullock

We ended 2000 with the always charming Sandra Bullock on our cover. The 36-year-old actress, who was starring in Miss Congeniality, wore a Prada top and H. Stern earrings.
